Lessons for Success

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请建议继续支持成功课程计划，该计划每年为30名传播科学和疾病及相关学科的早期职业科学家提供关于赠款写作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，成功的经验教训，现在在其第十个年头，一直有效地帮助有前途的，早期阶段的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2年内，39%的参与者成功地竞争了NIH的资金，94%的参与者成功地获得了他们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、美国言语听力基金会、校内和国家卫生研究院机制）。通过演示文稿，模拟资助评审，小组讨论和一对一辅导会议的组合，参与者获得有关granitarian和专业能力的知识，有助于他们的研究生产力和职业满意度。作为导师与门徒在会议上制定1年和5年计划的时间表，然后提供持续的指导，因为这些计划展开，成功的经验教训参与者成为很好地面向研究生涯的里程碑，并就如何成功地实现这些里程碑良好的教练。在他们参加会议后的三个时间段收集结果数据：立即，2年， 会议结束后的五年。这些数据提供了有关年度会议的反馈，以及有关参与者在实现研究目标方面的进展，他们的资助成功以及他们在研究生涯中的保留情况的信息。成功的经验教训旨在推动研究职业发展，学术生产力，保留，以及在未来5年的资助周期内专注于传播科学和疾病研究的约150名早期职业科学家的资助成功。

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.
