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NSF数学和物理科学局（MPS）的2022 - 2024年年度研讨会。 2022年的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Westin Alexandria Old Town举行，会议网站可在此URL上找到：https：//reg.conferences.dce.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。研讨会的主要目标是两个方面：（1）提供刚刚获得第一个奖项的PI或试图从国会议员计划中获得资金，并提供有关NSF的政策，程序和机会的宝贵信息和建议，重点是从代表性的少数族裔小组中招募不足的少数民族团体的招聘人员，以及（2）培训NS审查库的培训库的指定。该研讨会的范围符合NSF多样性计划的使命：招募，保留和发展一个多样化，高表现的劳动力，这些劳动力从社会的所有细分市场中汲取灵感以及价值观的公平性，多样性和包容性，以促进科学的进步。 演讲的主题包括（1）国会议员中的个人调查员计划； （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）准备成功的建议； （6）研究完整性。 在两天的时间里，参与者将在计划董事指导的突破课程中模仿小组审查的完整过程的活动。该提案还包括一项评估计划，以通过成功率在获得资金和参与参与者的审查过程方面的成功率来跟踪参与者并评估研讨会培训的功效。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来获得支持的。
