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

该补助金支持独立学院（CIC）的理事会努力增加计算机科学研究赠款的数量，并授予中小型独立的主要本科院校（PUI）的教师。该奖项支持一系列的三个研讨会，针对计算机科学和相关学科的教师编写有效和令人信服的建议，以国家科学基金会（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（CAREER）计划。这些研讨会的目标是：1）培训多达180名来自主要本科院校（PUI）的计算机科学及相关学科的早期职业教师，向CAREER和CRII计划提交有竞争力的建议书。在多达180个机构准备补助金管理员，以更好地与计算机科学教师合作，寻求和管理NSF研究补助金，并在此过程中，加强这些机构的赠款寻求能力。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。

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.
