Conference: Early Career Development (CAREER) Program Workshop for STEM Education Research at Minority-Serving Institutions

有必要发展一个来自许多不同机构的STEM教育研究人员的多元化社区。本次研讨会将吸引来自少数民族服务机构的教师，他们有兴趣为他们的STEM教育研究提供资助，并有资格参加职业计划。会议将侧重于制定研究议程，提案准备，并与其他早期职业学者在干教育连接。导师和组织者将包括来自STEM教育理事会的职业获奖者和少数民族服务机构的研究人员。为了支持早期职业教师的专业发展，研讨会将有两个主要组成部分（1）面对面会议和（2）参与者制定提案和研究议程的后续工作。会议还将探讨提案制定的物流，以及研究和教育之间的联系。支持早期职业教师的一个关键组成部分是帮助他们形成研究，教学和专业支持网络。与会者将有机会作为一个实践社区相互联系。导师将被确定为支持早期职业STEM教育研究人员发展他们的研究概念。该奖项由EDU核心研究（ECR）计划，改善本科STEM教育：STEM教育理事会（IUSE：EDU），发现研究PreK-12（DRK-12）计划和路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）资助。这些项目的重点包括STEM教育、STEM学习和学习环境的创新，扩大STEM和STEM劳动力发展的参与。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

There is a need to develop a diverse community of STEM education researchers from many different institutions. This workshop will engage faculty from Minority-Serving Institutions who are interested in grant-funding for their STEM education research and are eligible for the CAREER program. The sessions will focus on developing a research agenda, proposal preparation, and connecting with other early career scholars in STEM education. Mentors and organizers will include CAREER awardees from the Directorate for STEM Education and researchers at Minority-Serving Institutions. To support the professional development of the early-career faculty, the workshop will have two major components (1) in-person meeting and (2) follow-up work for participants to develop proposals and their research agendas. The sessions will also explore the logistics of proposal development, and the connections between research and education. A critical component of support for early career faculty is helping them form networks for research, teaching, and professional support. Participants will have the opportunity to connect with each other as a community of practice. Mentors will be identified to support the early career STEM education researchers in developing their research concepts. This award is funded by the EDU Core Research (ECR) Program, Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Directorate for STEM Education (IUSE: EDU), the Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12) Program, and the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP). The focus of these programs includes innovation in STEM education, STEM learning and learning environments, broadening participation in STEM and STEM workforce development.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.
