CISE Research Investigators Conference: Pacific Islands Regional CISE Aspiring Investigators Workshop

为配合扩大科学和工程领域参与的国家目标，夏威夷大学将主持一个研讨会，为该地区的研究人员提供准备，以制定高质量和有竞争力的提案，以满足国家科学基金会计算机与信息科学与工程（CISE）核心项目的期望。该研讨会将支持夏威夷和关岛各地为少数族裔服务的机构（msi）的研究人员培养技能，以增加开发并提交给国家科学基金会CISE核心项目的竞争性提案的数量。该研讨会将通过汇集来自该地区不同信息科学相关项目和学科的研究人员，促进跨学科合作。研讨会参加者将包括有抱负的pi和资深研究导师。讲习班的结构将有利于与会者之间的信息分享和联网。有抱负的pi将与导师配对，导师将在研讨会期间和之后为提案发展提供建议。关键信息将通过导师的全体演讲和小组讨论分享。与导师的分组会议将被安排，以促进同行的联系，并获得对提案元素的反馈。研讨会内容将包括国家科学基金会提案的发展过程；确定相关CISE核心项目；美国国家科学基金会评审标准和具体项目征集；竞争性提案的关键组成部分；提案审核流程；研究伦理；以及结果的传播。讲习班将提供指导和交流机会，以加强研究人员的职业生涯和夏威夷大学系统和其他区域大学研究活动的长期可持续性。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。

In alignment with national goals to broaden participation in science and engineering, the University of Hawaii will lead a workshop to prepare researchers in the region to develop high-quality and competitive proposals that meet the expectations of the National Science Foundation Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Core Programs. The workshop will support researchers at minority-serving institutions (MSIs) across Hawaii and Guam to build skills to increase the number of competitive proposals developed and submitted to the NSF CISE Core Programs. The workshop will foster interdisciplinary collaboration by bringing together researchers from different information science-related programs and disciplines within the region. Workshop attendees will include both aspiring PIs and senior research mentors. The workshop will be structured to facilitate information sharing, as well as networking among participants. Aspiring PIs will be matched with mentors who will advise on proposal development during and after the workshop. Key information will be shared via mentors’ plenary presentations and panel discussions. Breakout sessions with mentors will be scheduled to facilitate peer connections and gain feedback on proposal elements. Workshop content will include the NSF proposal development process; identifying relevant CISE Core Programs; the NSF merit review criteria and specific program solicitations; key components of a competitive proposal; the proposal review process; ethics of research; and dissemination of results. The workshop will provide mentorship and networking opportunities to strengthen researchers’ careers and the long-term sustainability of the University of Hawaii System's and other regional universities’ research activities.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.
