This award will support annual workshops in 2022-2024 for new and future PIs in the NSF Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS). The two-full-day workshop for 2022 will be held June 13-14 at the Westin Alexandria Old Town in Alexandria, VA, and the meeting website is available at this URL: https://reg.conferences.dce.ufl.edu/Physics. The conferences for 2023 and 2024 would be held in June of each year at the National Science Foundation (NSF) headquarters in Alexandria, VA. The main goals of the workshop are two-fold: (1) to provide PIs who have just received their first award or who are attempting to obtain funding from the MPS programs with valuable information and advice on the policies, procedures, and opportunities available at NSF, with an emphasis on recruiting attendees from underrepresented minority groups, and (2) to train a pool of future reviewers for NSF in the designated group. The scope of this workshop is in line with the mission of NSF Diversity Initiatives: To recruit, retain, and develop a diverse, high-performing workforce that draws from all segments of society and values fairness, diversity, and inclusion to promote the progress of science.The workshop program is composed of two main parts: informational presentations by NSF Program Directors and invited speakers and mock panel review activities. The topics of presentations include (1) Individual investigator programs in MPS; (2) NSF funded Centers and Facilities and Special programs; (3) NSF policies and procedures; (4) Broader impacts of research; (5) Preparing successful proposals; (6) Research integrity. Over two days, the participants will be engaged in the activities emulating the full processes of panel review in breakout sessions guided by Program Directors. This proposal also includes an assessment plan to track the participants and to evaluate the efficacy of the workshop training through the success rate in securing funding and participation in the review process of the participants.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.

该奖项将支持2022-2024年NSF数学和物理科学理事会（MPS）新的和未来的PI的年度研讨会。2022年为期两天的研讨会将于6月13日至14日在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市的威斯汀亚历山大老城区举行，会议网站可在此URL上访问：https://reg.conferences.dce.ufl.edu/Physics。2023年和2024年的会议将于每年6月在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市的国家科学基金会（NSF）总部举行。该研讨会的主要目标有两个方面：（1）为刚刚获得第一个奖项或试图从MPS计划获得资金的PI提供有关NSF政策，程序和机会的宝贵信息和建议，重点是从代表性不足的少数群体中招募与会者，以及（2）在指定组中为NSF培训一批未来的评审员。本次研讨会的范围与NSF多样性倡议的使命一致：招募、保留和培养一支来自社会各阶层、重视公平、多样性和包容性的多元化、高绩效的劳动力队伍，以促进科学进步。研讨会计划由两个主要部分组成：NSF项目主任和特邀演讲者的信息演讲和模拟小组评审活动。 演讲的主题包括（1）MPS中的个人研究者计划;（2）NSF资助的中心和设施以及特殊计划;（3）NSF政策和程序;（4）研究的更广泛影响;（5）准备成功的提案;（6）研究完整性。 在两天的时间里，与会者将在项目负责人的指导下参加模拟小组审查全过程的分组会议。该提案还包括一个评估计划，以跟踪参与者，并通过确保资金和参与者参与审查过程的成功率来评估研讨会培训的有效性。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。
