A Workshop on Professional Communications Skills for Academic Scientists, May 5, 1991, Dallas Texas

该奖项为将于1991年5月5日美国微生物学会全国会议之前举行的专业通讯技巧讲习班提供部分资金。本工作坊将提供适合学术科学教师有效沟通技巧的基本训练。参与者将参与的这些练习是基于加利福尼亚大学John Grinder和其他人开发的神经语言编程（NLP）策略。自20世纪70年代末以来，NLP培训已广泛应用于专业和组织发展。这个研讨会特别适合那些几乎没有机会（与商界的同事相比）接受“人际技能”培训的学术科学家，这种技能对于指导、管理研究团队、谈判晋升和终身职位的步骤等都非常重要。由于有效的沟通和管理/激励他人的能力是在每个领域取得专业进步的基本先决条件，因此本讲习班特别适合妇女和少数民族科学家。

This award provides partial funding of a workshop in professional communications skills to be held just prior to the national meeting of the American Society for Microbiology, 5 May, 1991. This workshop will provide basic training in effective communications skills appropriate for academic science faculty. These exercises in which the attendees will participate are based on the strategies of neurolinguistic programming (NLP) developed at the University of California by John Grinder and others. NLP training has been widely used in professional and organizational development since the late 1970's. The workshop is especially appropriate for academic scientists who have little opportunity (compared to their colleagues in the business world) for training in the "people skills" so important for mentoring, running a research team, negotiating the steps to promotion and tenure, etc. Since effective communication and the ability to manage/motivate others are fundamental prerequisites for professional advancement in every field, this workshop is especially appropriate for women and minority scientists.
