Workshop/Collaborative Research: 2019 NSF Engineering CAREER Proposal Writing Workshop

该奖项支持国家科学基金理事会工程学院早期职业发展计划（Career）提案写作研讨会的组织。研讨会将于2019年4月1日至2日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行，预计约有300名与会者。研讨会将持续一天半的时间，包括关于良好提案写作实践的互动环节，由以前的CAREER获奖者举办的研讨会，模拟CAREER提案小组评审，以及一个评审环节，在这个环节中，与会者将有机会获得对他们自己的CAREER提案草案的项目总结的反馈。与会者还将有机会与现任国家科学基金会项目主任进行一对一和模拟小组会议的互动。本次研讨会将通过向职业计划和核心NSF计划提交好的提案提供工具和技能，帮助职业计划合格的教师为教育和研究事业做好准备。讲习班的目标包括培训初级教员，重点是工程领域的妇女和代表性不足的少数民族。特别强调的是，将鼓励来自非“研究-1”机构的职业生涯计划符合条件的教师申请参加。该研讨会将成为许多新研究人员的NSF介绍。讲习班将帮助参与者澄清他们的研究和教育职业规划，并了解向外部审稿人清楚阐明这些计划的必要性。此外，工作坊还包括模拟小组会议，让参与者体验模拟小组评估讨论。所有的内容和经验都将帮助与会者丰富他们的技能，为有影响力的研究撰写成功的研究提案，从而有利于社会需求。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports the organization of a National Science Foundation Directorate for Engineering Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) Proposal Writing Workshop. The workshop will be held in Arlington, Virginia on April 1-2, 2019, and it is expected that there will be about 300 attendees. The workshop will take place over one-and-a-half days and will include interactive sessions on good proposal writing practices, seminars by previous CAREER awardees, a mock CAREER proposal panel review, and a review session during which the attendees will have a chance to obtain feedback on project summaries of their own draft CAREER proposals. The attendees will also have an opportunity to interact with current NSF Program Directors both in one-on-one and in mock panel sessions. This workshop will help to prepare CAREER program eligible faculty for careers in education and research by giving them tools and skills of good proposal writing for submissions to the CAREER program as well as core NSF programs. The objectives of the workshop include training for junior faculty with an emphasis on women and underrepresented minorities in engineering. A special additional emphasis will be placed on encouraging CAREER program eligible faculty from non-"Research-1" institutions to apply for participation. The workshop will serve as an introduction NSF for many new researchers. The workshop will help participants to clarify their research and education career plans and to understand the need to clearly articulate these plans to external reviewers. In addition, the workshop includes mock panel sessions to give participants the experience of simulated panel evaluation discussions. All of the content and experiences will help attendees enrich their skills of writing successful research proposals for impactful research that benefits societal needs.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.
