Researchers at the National Science Foundation U.S. Investigator Workshop on Coral Bleaching in 2016 determined that advancing coral bleaching research required new efficiencies in research and sample archiving methods across a large multi-disciplinary network in order to facilitate comparisons among studies and reduce the time to discovery. It was determined that a Coral Bleaching Research Coordination Network (Coral Bleaching RCN) was the most effective way of addressing this problem. The goals of this Coral Bleaching RCN are to 1) develop experimental design, sample archiving, and data synthesis protocols, through three workshops and 2) facilitate the formation of interdisciplinary collaborative teams. Workshop findings will be disseminated through live cyber-seminars, publications, conference presentations, and archived on the Coral Bleaching RCN website. To foster interdisciplinary training of early career scientists, an Early Career Training program will make available, on a competitive basis, funds for individuals to spend time in another lab to learn new skills, methods, or analytical approaches, thus furthering interdisciplinary training. Two graduate students and sixteen early career scientists will be supported by this grant. Efforts will be made to select a diverse group of individuals for the workshops and early career program, with representation across gender, race, and country of origin, as well as research expertise. Diversity among career stages will also be considered for workshop participants. The Steering Committee members include two women and one individual from a historically underrepresented group with research expertise ranging from geochemistry to ecology to genomics.The goals of this Coral Bleaching RCN are to 1) develop experimental design, sample archiving, and data synthesis protocols, through three workshops and 2) facilitate the formation of interdisciplinary collaborative teams. These goals will be addressed through four activity nodes: workshops, cyberseminars, student and Early Career Training, and RCN activity dissemination. The workshops will be the centerpiece of the Coral Bleaching RCN and focus on three topics: 1) experimental design protocol recommendations, 2) sample archiving protocol recommendations, and 3) data assimilation protocol recommendations. The first two days of each workshop will focus on developing the protocol recommendations. The last day of each workshop will focus on building and/or expanding interdisciplinary collaborative research teams. Each workshop will consist of 27 participants (5 Steering Committee members, 2 graduate students, 10 invited participants, and 10 selected participants through a competitive application process). This strategy will allow for a large number of individuals to participate in one or more workshop(s). Pre- and post-workshop activities will ensure active participation of all parties and allow for ongoing improvement to the workshop workflow. The outcomes of the workshops will help to guide coral bleaching research by enhancing research efficiency, the rate of discovery, the capacity for multi-study comparisons, and stimulating new and unique collaborations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

2016年，美国国家科学基金会珊瑚漂白研究者研讨会的研究人员确定，推进珊瑚漂白研究需要在大型多学科网络中提高研究和样本存档方法的新效率，以促进研究之间的比较并缩短发现时间。经确定，珊瑚漂白研究协调网络是解决这一问题的最有效途径。这个珊瑚漂白RCN的目标是：1）通过三个研讨会开发实验设计，样品存档和数据合成协议; 2）促进跨学科合作团队的形成。研讨会的结果将通过网络研讨会、出版物、会议介绍传播，并在珊瑚漂白RCN网站上存档。为了促进早期职业科学家的跨学科培训，早期职业培训计划将在竞争的基础上为个人提供资金，让他们花时间在另一个实验室学习新的技能，方法或分析方法，从而促进跨学科培训。两名研究生和16名早期职业科学家将得到这笔赠款的支持。将努力为研讨会和早期职业计划选择一个多元化的个人群体，代表性别，种族和原籍国，以及研究专业知识。还将考虑到讲习班参加者职业阶段的多样性。指导委员会成员包括两名女性和一名来自历史上代表性不足的群体的个人，他们的研究专长从地球化学到生态学到基因组学。珊瑚漂白RCN的目标是1）通过三个研讨会开发实验设计，样品存档和数据合成协议，2）促进跨学科合作团队的形成。这些目标将通过四个活动节点来实现：讲习班、网络研讨会、学生和早期职业培训以及RCN活动传播。研讨会将是珊瑚漂白RCN的核心，重点是三个主题：1）实验设计协议建议，2）样本存档协议建议，3）数据同化协议建议。每个讲习班的头两天将侧重于制定议定书建议。每个研讨会的最后一天将侧重于建立和/或扩大跨学科的合作研究团队。每个讲习班将由27名参与者组成（5名指导委员会成员，2名研究生，10名受邀参与者和10名通过竞争性申请程序选定的参与者）。这一战略将使大量个人能够参加一个或多个讲习班。研讨会前后的活动将确保所有各方的积极参与，并使研讨会的工作流程不断得到改进。研讨会的成果将有助于指导珊瑚漂白研究，提高研究效率，发现率，多研究比较的能力，并刺激新的和独特的合作。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
