Chemistry Early Career Investigator Workshop

在化学系的支持下，里德学院的凯利·查孔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发展强有力的研究，教育和推广活动。教师开始他们的独立职业生涯往往发现写他们的第一个赠款提案的过程是具有挑战性的。参与者将有机会相互联系，并与成功的赠款获得者和来自各种机构的联邦项目官员联系。参与者将参加模拟小组讨论、研究演示和其他活动，旨在让他们更好地了解如何制定雄心勃勃、现实且引人注目的研究计划。还将讨论更广泛的影响标准，包括教育活动，推广，扩大参与和长期应用于社会问题。2021年化学早期职业研讨会，由化学司的支持将于2021年5月17日至18日以虚拟形式举行。本次研讨会将汇集来自广泛的机构和人口统计多达100名初级教师讨论战略性地制定研究思路，规划教育和推广活动，通过多样性实现卓越以及评估和评估项目目标的步骤。潜在的参与者可以在面向公众的网页上获得更多信息。 咨询也将通过一个专用的电子邮件地址（nsfworkshop2021@gmail.com）接收。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为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。

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.
