Planning: Excellence in Research: Extending the impact of research using Social Cognitive Career Theory through meta-analysis and systematic review

荟萃分析是一种较新的研究技术，它允许研究人员以有效和可靠的方式将多个较小的研究集中在一起并进行分析。这使研究人员能够提高研究课题的结论和建议的可靠性。荟萃分析的结果取决于所收集的研究数据的质量，各种技术和程序的有效选择和使用，以及对数据中潜在局限性的关注。此外，由于有效的数据收集是有用的元分析的核心，因此拥有一个有组织和有效的研究团队非常重要。这表明有效的计划和研究团队的发展是准备进行元分析研究项目的关键组成部分。本项目建议参与研究团队建设和深入规划的战略过程，以便将来提交一份提案，以支持对SCCT文献的元分析综述，该综述侧重于该理论先前未被研究的方面及其在该领域的应用。该规划项目将包括与顾问委员会合作，以专家的身份在进行元分析的各个方面进行合作，以确保1)该研究团队发展成功提出项目所需的协同作用，以及2)PI发展领导这类研究/团队的高级技能，并为这类项目建立机构能力/承诺。该项目将采用标准的战略规划流程、咨询和协作努力，以确保在规划拨款期结束时提交高质量的提案。这个项目的智力价值在于它依赖于在使用元分析技术进行提案修订工作方面具有重要训练和经验的专家。这个项目的更广泛的影响取决于一个成功的提案提交的未来结果，这是基于对SCCT理论的更彻底的理解，这将推动理论的发展。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。

Meta-analysis is a more recent research technique that allows the researcher to bring together and analyze multiple, smaller studies in a valid and reliable manner. This enables researchers to increase reliability of the conclusions and recommendations on a research topic. The results of a meta-analysis depend upon the quality of the data gathered about the studies, the effective selection and use among the various techniques and procedures, as well as the attention to potential limitations in the data. In addition, since effective data gathering is the core of a useful meta-analysis, it is important to have an organized and effective research team. This suggests that effective planning and research team development are critical components in preparing to conduct a meta-analytic research project. This project proposes to engage in a strategic process of research team-building and in-depth planning for the future submission of a proposal to support a meta-analytic review of the SCCT literature that focuses on previously unexamined aspects of the theory and its use in the field. This planning project will involve working with the Advisory Board in their capacity as experts in various aspects of conducting meta-analyses to ensure that 1) this research team develops the synergy necessary to successfully propose the project, and 2) the PI develops advanced skills in leading this type of research/team and builds institutional capacity/commitment for this type of project. The project will utilize standard strategic planning processes, consultation, and collaborative efforts to ensure a high-quality proposal to be submitted by the close of the planning grant period. The intellectual merit of this project rests in its reliance on experts with significant training and experience in using meta-analytic techniques to ground proposal revision efforts. The broader impact of this project rests in the future outcomes of a successful proposal submission, that is based on a more thorough understanding of the SCCT theory that will move theory development forward.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.
