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

该奖项支持组织国家科学基金会工程系早期职业发展计划(Career)建议书撰写研讨会。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，预计将有约300人参加。工作坊为期一天半，将包括有关良好建议书撰写方法的互动课程、由以往获奖者举办的研讨会、模拟职业建议书小组评审，以及评审会，期间参加者将有机会就他们自己的职业建议书草稿的项目摘要获得反馈。与会者还将有机会在一对一和模拟小组会议上与现任NSF计划主任进行互动。该研讨会将帮助符合职业计划资格的教师为教育和研究领域的职业生涯做好准备，为他们提供工具和技能，为职业计划和核心NSF计划的提交撰写良好的建议书。讲习班的目标包括对初级教员进行培训，重点是妇女和工程学中代表性不足的少数群体。一个特别的额外重点将放在鼓励符合职业计划资格的非“研究-1”机构的教员申请参加。研讨会将作为许多新研究人员对NSF的介绍。讲习班将帮助与会者澄清他们的研究和教育事业计划，并了解向外部审查员清楚说明这些计划的必要性。此外，研讨会还包括模拟小组会议，让与会者体验模拟小组评估讨论。所有的内容和经验将帮助与会者丰富他们的技能，为有益于社会需求的有影响力的研究撰写成功的研究提案。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
