Conference: Grant-Seeking Workshops in Computer Science for Smaller, Independent, Primarily Undergraduate Institutions

这项拨款支持独立学院理事会（CIC）的努力，以增加中小型独立本科院校（PUIs）的教师在计算机科学方面的研究资助。该奖项支持一系列针对计算机科学和相关学科教师的三个研讨会，为国家科学基金会（NSF）计算机与信息科学与工程研究启动计划（CRII）和教师早期职业发展计划（Career）计划撰写有效且引人注目的提案。这些研讨会的目标是：1)从主要的本科院校（PUIs）培养多达180名计算机科学和相关学科的早期职业教师，向career和CRII计划提交有竞争力的提案。2)为多达180个机构的资助管理人员做好准备，以便在寻求和管理NSF研究资助方面更好地与计算机科学教职员工合作，并在此过程中加强这些机构的申请资助能力。3)增加在NSF计算机科学及相关学科的CRII和CAREER项目中对CIC成员机构的资助，目标是到2025年达到20个。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

This grant supports efforts by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) to increase the number of research grants in computer science sought by and awarded to faculty members at small to midsized independent predominantly undergraduate institutions (PUIs). The award supports a series of three workshops targeting faculty members in computer science and related disciplines to write effective and compelling proposals to the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering Research Initiation Initiative (CRII) and Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) programs.The goals of these workshops are to:1) Train up to 180 early career faculty members in computer science and related disciplines from predominantly undergraduate institutions (PUIs) to submit competitive proposals to the CAREER and CRII programs.2) Prepare grants administrators at up to 180 institutions to better collaborate with faculty members in computer science on seeking and managing NSF research grants—and, in the process, strengthen the grant-seeking capacity of these institutions.3) Increase the number of grants awarded to CIC member institutions in NSF’s CRII and CAREER programs for computer science and related disciplines, with the goal of twenty awarded projects by 2025.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.
