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

这笔赠款支持独立学院理事会(CIC)努力增加中小型独立本科院校(PUI)的教职员工寻求和授予的计算机科学研究补助金的数量。该奖项支持一系列三个研讨会，目标是计算机科学和相关学科的教师，以向国家科学基金会(NSF)的计算机和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(CALEAR)计划撰写有效和令人信服的建议。这些研讨会的目标是：1)从以本科为主的机构(PUI)培训多达180名计算机科学和相关学科的早期职业教师，以便向职业和CRII计划提交有竞争力的建议。2)在多达180个机构培养拨款管理员，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师合作-在此过程中，3)在NSF的CRII和计算机科学及相关学科的职业计划中，增加向CIC成员机构授予的赠款数量，目标是到2025年获得20个获奖项目。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
