2019 Germination Meeting at Boise State University

该奖项将为在博伊西州立大学举行的为期两天的研讨会提供支持。研讨会将召集通过EFMA萌芽计划资助的团队与其他学术利益相关者（包括高级领导和个人研究人员）一起分享他们在萌芽资助的研究中获得的成果。讲习班的具体目标包括：1）建立社区并支持萌芽奖获得者之间的合作。2）分享萌芽资助的研究项目的成果和积极策略。3）探索由正确问题研究所开发的问题制定技术可以应用于各种机构的学术奖学金的方法。4）分享在博伊西州立大学在萌芽资助的工作期间学到的有效做法。5）考虑如何维持，规模和传播成功的萌芽方法。本次研讨会将协助建立一个致力于设计新的学习框架，平台，和/或培训学者的环境，以制定具有重大社会影响潜力的研究问题。这些萌芽方法的成功推广和实施，通过催化解决紧迫的社会挑战和需求的研究方向，为更广泛的影响提供了重要的机会。该奖项反映了NSF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 will provide support for a two-day workshop to be held at Boise State University. The workshop will convene teams funded through the EFMA Germination program together with other academic stakeholders (including senior leadership and individual researchers) to share the results obtained in their Germination-funded research. Specific goals of the workshop include:1) Build community and support collaboration among Germination awardees.2) Share the outcomes and positive strategies of Germination-funded research projects.3) Explore ways that the Question Formulation Technique, developed by the Right Question Institute, can be applied to academic scholarship at a diversity of institutions.4) Share the effective practices learned at Boise State University during Germination-funded work.5) Consider ways to sustain, scale and disseminate successful Germination approaches.This workshop will assist in building a community of practitioners committed to designing new learning frameworks, platforms, and/or environments for training academics to formulate research questions with substantive potential for societal impact. Successful scaling and implementation of these Germination approaches offers significant opportunity for broader impacts through catalyzing research directions that address pressing societal challenges and 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.
