This proposal aims to enhance the quality of the experience of postdoctoral fellows (postdocs) and early-career researchers (ECRs) by providing them with competencies that will improve their effectiveness as professional researchers. The project aims, through the use of questionnaires directed at senior Principal Investigators and ECRs, to outline the current situation with regards to skills development for Australian researchers. Based on this research, or a program for three-day intensive residential workshop will be developed for 120 postdocs and ECRs and 12 expert presenters. The content and emphasis of the workshop will be shaped in part by the outcome of the questionnaire, but will recognise that some key skills are already developed within the experience of research training but are difficult to articulate. These skills will be identified and made more explicit, but complemented with advice on many aspects of research management ranging from ethical conduct in research, student supervision, protection of intellectual property, grantsmanship, commercialisation of research and many other matters that confront ECRs. A critical purpose of the intensive workshop is to obtain crucial evaluation and feedback from the participants. This feedback will permit revision of the material presented during the workshop to ensure production of a best-practice manual for research management that should find its way into every Australian research laboratory. The Council of the Australian Academy of Science, at its meeting on 21 September 2006, recognised that production of the manual may not be eligible for funding under the LASP07 funding rules and resolved that up to $50,000 from the Academy of Science’s own resources should be committed to writing, designing, editing and printing of the manual. The manual will be an Australian counterpart to the US publication Making the Right Moves – A practical guide to scientific management for postdocs and new faculty (2004:published by

该提案旨在提高博士后研究员（博士后）和早期职业研究人员（ECR）的经验质量，为他们提供能力，提高他们作为专业研究人员的效率。该项目的目的是，通过使用针对高级首席调查员和伦理委员会代表的调查问卷，概述澳大利亚研究人员技能发展的现状。在此研究的基础上，将为120名博士后和ECR以及12名专家演讲者制定为期三天的密集住宅研讨会计划。讲习班的内容和重点将部分由问卷调查的结果形成，但将认识到，一些关键技能已经在研究培训的经验，但很难阐明。这些技能将被确定并变得更加明确，但补充了对研究管理的许多方面的建议，包括研究中的道德行为，学生监督，知识产权保护，授权，研究商业化以及面临ECR的许多其他问题。强化讲习班的一个重要目的是从参与者那里获得重要的评价和反馈。这些反馈意见将有助于对讲习班期间提出的材料进行修订，以确保编写一份研究管理最佳做法手册，并将其分发给澳大利亚的每一个研究实验室。澳大利亚科学院理事会在2006年9月21日的会议上承认，根据LASP 07资助规则，手册的制作可能没有资格获得资助，并决定从科学院自己的资源中拨出最多50 000美元，用于手册的编写、设计、编辑和印刷。该手册将是美国出版物《采取正确的行动-博士后和新教师科学管理实用指南》（2004年：
