Mentoring for the future in academic chemistry

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目包括一个为期三天的年度研讨会，为处于职业生涯早期阶段的助理教授提供帮助，帮助他们有效地准备提案，建立和维护一个独特的研究项目，并提供指导。这些目标将在讨论领袖的指导下在互动项目中实现，讨论领袖被公认为有效的导师，并有杰出的研究记录。讲习班的规划和执行将由一个指导委员会进行。助理教授，其研究兴趣落在专业领域的合成和生物化学A和B NIH研究部分，将被邀请参加。相关研究方向包括有机化学（合成、方法论、机理）、化学生物学、天然产物化学、生物化学；肽化学;核酸化学；以及生物无机化学。大约30名初级教师和6名讨论领导将参加每个研讨会。超过三分之一的进入研究型大学的教师将受到影响。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project involved a three-day annual workshop, for assistant professors at the early stages of their careers, to assist them in effective proposal preparation, in establishing and maintaining a unique research program and in mentoring. These objectives will be achieved in an interactive program with the guidance of Discussion Leaders who are well recognized as effective mentors and have distinguished research records. The planning and execution of the workshops will be carried out by a Steering Committee. Assistant professors, whose research interests fall within the areas of expertise of the Synthetic and Biological Chemistry A and B NIH study sections, will be invited to participate. The relevant research specialties include organic chemistry (synthesis, methodology, and mechanism) and chemical biology, as well as natural products chemistry and biochemistry; peptide chemistry; nucleic acid chemistry; and bioinorganic chemistry. Approximately thirty junior faculty and six discussion leaders will attend each workshop. More than one-third of faculty entering research universities in applicable fields will be impacted. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This workshop is designed to help new faculty in chemistry get their programs off to a quick start by providing essential information on grant writing and research group management.
