America's Academic Future: An Action Agenda for 2010

这项提议的目标是启动一个总体项目的第一部分，以制定一项行动议程，以促进在全国范围内实施最近的总统青年研究人员座谈会报告--美国的学术未来--的主要愿景。将通过两项相互关联的努力制定2010年行动议程。首先，将举行一系列五个相互关联的座谈会和数据收集活动，重点是制定具体的战略、模式和机制，以(A)共同平等地表彰工程、数学和理科教师的教学奖学金、公共服务和研究优秀，以及(B)大幅增加用于教学创新和课程更新的资源，特别是用于本科教学的资源。第二，(A)将在过去和现在的PYI和未来的NSF青年调查人员和总统学院研究员之间建立一个网络，他们致力于为所有学生提供高质量的教育，并增加社会各界对工程、数学和科学的职业参与，以及(B)将对PYI人群进行人种学研究，以评估其目前对高等教育的未来影响，并获得对未来国家科学基金规划有用的见解。

The objectives of this proposal is to initiate the first part of an overall project to develop an action agenda to foster national implementation of the principal vision of the recent Presidential Young Investigator (PYI) Colloquium report, America's Academic Future. An action agenda for 2010 will be developed through two, inter-related efforts. First, a series of five inter-connected colloquia, and data gathering activities, will be held that focus on developing specific strategies, models, and mechanisms to (a) recognize co-equally the instructional scholarship, public service, and research excellence of engineering, mathematics, and science faculty, and (b) increase substantially resources for instructional innovation and curriculum renewal, especially for undergraduate instruction. Second, (a) a network will be developed among the past and present PYIs, and future NSF Young Investigators and Presidential Faculty Fellows, who are committed to providing a high-quality education for all students and increased career participation in engineering, mathematics, and science by all segments of society, and (b) an ethnographic study will be conducted of the PYI population to assess its current future impact on higher education and to gain insights useful for future NSF programming.
