Chemistry Early Career Investigator Workshop

在化学系的支持下，里德学院的凯利·查肯教授和范德比尔特大学的史蒂文·汤森教授正在组织一个研讨会，旨在为新的化学教师提供对提案撰写和审查过程的见解，以便他们能够确定和开展强有力的研究、教育和外联活动。开始独立职业生涯的教师通常会发现，撰写他们的第一份拨款申请的过程很有挑战性。参与者将有机会相互联系，以及与成功的赠款获得者和来自不同机构的联邦计划官员建立联系。参与者将参加模拟小组、研究报告和其他活动，旨在让他们更好地了解如何制定一项雄心勃勃、现实而又令人信服的研究计划。还将讨论更广泛的影响标准，包括教育活动、外联、扩大参与和对社会问题的长期应用。由化学处支持的2021年化学早期职业研讨会将于2021年5月17-18日以虚拟形式举行。这次研讨会将汇集来自广泛机构和人口统计学的100名初级教员，讨论从战略上构思研究想法、规划教育和外展活动、通过多样性实现卓越以及评估和评估项目目标的步骤。潜在参与者可以在面向公众的网页上获得更多信息。还可以通过专用电子邮件地址(nsfworkshop 2021@gmail.com)接收咨询。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已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。

With the support of the Division of Chemistry, Professors Kelly Chacon of Reed College and Steven Townsend of Vanderbilt University are organizing a workshop that seeks to provide new chemistry faculty insight into the proposal writing and reviewing process so that they can identify and develop strong research, education and outreach activities. Faculty beginning their independent careers often find the process of writing their first grant proposals to be challenging. Participants will have the opportunity to network with each other as well as with successful grant recipients and federal program officers from a variety of agencies. The participants will engage in mock panels, research presentations, and other activities designed to provide them with a better understanding of how to put together a research plan that is ambitious, yet realistic and compelling. Broader impact criteria will also be discussed including educational activities, outreach, broadening participation and longer term application to societal problems. The 2021 Chemistry Early Career Workshop, supported by the Division of Chemistry will be held on May 17-18, 2021 in a virtual format. This workshop will bring together up to 100 junior faculty from a broad range of institutions and demographics to discuss steps in strategically crafting research ideas, planning educational and outreach activities, achieving excellence through diversity and assessing and evaluating project aims. Potential participants can access more information as it becomes available at a publicly-facing web page. Inquiries will also be receivable through a dedicated email address (nsfworkshop2021@gmail.com).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.
