Chemistry Early Career Investigator Workshop

在化学系的支持下，里德学院的Kelly Chacon教授和范德比尔特大学的Steven Townsend教授正在组织一个研讨会，旨在为新的化学教师提供关于提案写作和审查过程的见解，以便他们能够识别和发展强有力的研究、教育和推广活动。开始独立职业生涯的教师通常会发现，撰写第一份拨款申请的过程颇具挑战性。参与者将有机会相互联系，并与来自不同机构的成功赠款接受者和联邦项目官员建立联系。参与者将参与模拟小组、研究报告和其他活动，这些活动旨在让他们更好地了解如何制定雄心勃勃、现实而引人注目的研究计划。更广泛的影响标准也将被讨论，包括教育活动、外联、扩大参与和对社会问题的长期应用。由化学部支持的2021年化学早期职业研讨会将于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不同院校和人口统计学的100名青年教师，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。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行了评估，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.
