Lessons for Success

描述(由申请人提供)：本申请建议继续支持成功的经验教训计划，该计划每年向30名传播学和障碍及相关学科的早期职业科学家提供关于拨款撰写和专业能力的专家指导和指导。通过为期两天的会议和随后的指导机会，现已进入第十个年头的成功经验教训有效地帮助有前途的早期科学家成功地竞争研究资金。该学科的科学基础通过成功经验计划得到了加强，因为在参与成功经验计划的两年内，39%的参与者成功地争取到了NIH的资金，94%的人成功地获得了他们所申请的所有来源的资金(即退伍军人管理局、国家科学基金会、教育科学研究所、美国语言听力基金会、校内和NIH机制)。通过演讲、模拟拨款审查、小组讨论和一对一指导会议，参与者获得了关于资助金和专业能力的知识，这对他们的研究效率和职业满意度有积极的贡献。随着导师在会议上与学员一起制定有时间表的1年和5年计划，然后在这些计划展开时提供持续的指导，成功参与者的经验教训变得非常面向研究生涯的里程碑，并就如何成功实现这些里程碑进行了良好的指导。在他们参加会议后，每隔三个时间间隔收集成果数据：立即、2年、 会议结束5年后。这些数据提供了关于年度会议的反馈，以及关于参与者在实现他们的研究目标方面的进展、他们的资金成功以及他们在研究生涯中保持的信息。Lessons for Success旨在推动约150名早期职业科学家在未来5年的资助周期中取得研究事业发展、学术生产力、留存和资助成功的成果，这些科学家专注于通信科学和疾病的研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application proposes continued support for the Lessons for Success program, which provides expert mentoring and guidance on grant writing and professional competencies to 30 early-career scientists in communication sciences and disorders, and related disciplines, annually. Through a 2- day conference and subsequent mentoring opportunities, Lessons for Success, now in its tenth year, has been effective in helping promising, early-stage scientists to compete successfully for research funding. The scientific base of the discipline has been strengthened through the Lessons for Success program as, within 2 years of participation in the Lessons for Success program, 39% of the participants successfully competed for NIH funding and 94% were successful in obtaining funding across all sources to which they applied (i.e., Veterans Administration, National Science Foundation, Institute of Education Sciences, American-Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation, intramural and NIH mechanisms). Through a combination of presentations, mock grant reviews, small group discussions, and one-on-one mentoring sessions, participants gain knowledge about grantsmanship and professional competencies that contribute positively to their research productivity and career satisfaction. As mentors work with proteges at the conference to develop 1-year and 5-year plans with timelines, and then provide ongoing mentoring as these plans unfold, Lessons for Success participants become well oriented to the milestones of a research career and well coached on how to successfully achieve these milestones. Outcomes data is collected at three intervals following their participation in the conference: immediately, 2 years, and 5 years after the conference. The data provide feedback about the annual conference and information about the participants' progress in meeting their research goals, their funding success, and their retention in a research career. Lessons for Success aims to advance the research career development, scholarly productivity, retention, and funding success of approximately 150 early-career scientists focused on research in communication sciences and disorders over the next 5 year funding cycle.
