This award will support a Grant Proposal Writing Workshop to be held in conjunction with the 2022 Engineering Mechanics Institute Conference in Baltimore, Maryland, 31 May to 3 June 2022. Early career researchers typically have limited exposure and experience with grant proposal writing and the proposal review process. This workshop aims to provide early career researchers with opportunities to learn about the National Science Foundation (NSF) and its merit review process and engage in a series of interactive sessions with recent NSF awardees discussing best practices and strategies in proposal writing. An emphasis will be placed on recruiting women and underrepresented minorities in engineering to participate in the workshop. By providing clarity, guidance, and feedback, the workshop will support the next generation of engineering researchers in improving the quality of their future proposals and, ultimately, the quality of research and broader impacts guided by clearly defined objectives, plans, and mechanisms to assess success. A series of interactive seminars, panels, and other activities will be held in this workshop with the goal of improving the quality of future proposals from participating early career researchers. Participants will include senior doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, and early career faculty. Speakers and panelists will feature recent NSF awardees, including awardees from NSF’s Faculty Early Career Development Program. Session topics will include the following: (i) an overview of the NSF, the Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation Division, and the Merit Review Process; (ii) best practices and strategies in grant proposal writing; (iii) shared experiences from recent grant awardees; and (iv) small breakout sessions providing participants the opportunity to ask detailed questions and receive feedback on project summaries that may serve as the basis of a future proposal. Additionally, participants will be encouraged to present a poster of their choice for display during the workshop. A key feature of the workshop is that it will be linked with the 2022 Engineering Mechanics Institute Conference, which will provide opportunities for the early career researchers to network and discuss their research with researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry, while also ensuring that workshop discussions and feedback will be directly relevant and accessible to participants from the community of engineering mechanics and civil infrastructure.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.

该奖项将支持一个赠款提案写作研讨会，将于2022年5月31日至2022年6月3日在马里兰州巴尔的摩举行的2022工程机械学院会议上举行。早期的职业生涯研究人员通常在赠款提案写作和建议审查过程的情况下具有有限的敞口和经验。该研讨会旨在为早期的职业研究人员提供了解国家科学基金会（NSF）及其优异审查过程的机会，并与最近的NSF获奖者进行一系列互动会议，讨论提案写作中的最佳实践和策略。将重点放在招募妇女和代表性不足的工程中参加研讨会。通过提供清晰度，指导和反馈，研讨会将支持下一代工程研究人员提高未来建议的质量，并最终以明确定义的目标，计划和评估成功的机制为指导的研究质量和更广泛的影响。该研讨会将举行一系列互动式半径，小组和其他活动，目的是提高参与早期职业研究人员的未来建议的质量。参加者将包括高级博士生，博士后研究人员和早期职业教师。演讲者和小组成员将以NSF的最新获奖者为特色，其中包括NSF教师早期职业发展计划的获奖者。会议主题将包括以下内容：（i）NSF，民用，机械和制造创新部门的概述以及功绩审查过程； （ii）赠款提案写作中的最佳实践和策略； （iii）最近的赠款获奖者的共同经验； （iv）小型分组会议为参与者提供了机会，有机会提出详细的问题并收到有关项目摘要的反馈，这些摘要可能是未来建议的基础。此外，将鼓励参与者在讲习班期间提供他们选择的海报。研讨会的一个关键特征是，它将与2022年的工程机制学院会议联系起来，该会议将为早期职业研究人员提供与学术界，国家实验室和行业的研究人员进行网络和讨论的机会，同时还可以确保研讨会和反馈可以与参与者的参与者直接相关，并可以与参与者进行统计和内部统计信息。使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响标准，认为通过评估被认为是宝贵的支持。
