Mentoring for the future in academic chemistry

描述(由申请者提供)：该项目包括为期三天的年度研讨会，为处于职业生涯早期的助理教授提供帮助，以帮助他们有效地准备提案，建立和保持独特的研究计划，并进行指导。这些目标将在被公认为有效导师并拥有杰出研究记录的讨论领袖的指导下，在一个互动计划中实现。讲习班的规划和执行将由一个指导委员会进行。助理教授，他们的研究兴趣属于合成和生物化学A和B NIH研究组的专业知识领域，将被邀请参加。相关研究专业包括有机化学(合成、方法和机理)和化学生物学，以及天然产物化学和生物化学；肽化学；核酸化学；生物无机化学。每个研讨会将有大约30名初级教员和6名讨论负责人参加。超过三分之一的进入研究型大学的适用领域的教职员工将受到影响。 与公共健康相关：这个研讨会旨在通过提供有关拨款撰写和研究小组管理的基本信息，帮助化学领域的新教师快速启动他们的项目。

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.
