Workshop on the Changing Environment for Biological Sciencesto be held at Portland State University, Portland, Oregon, March 3-4, 1996

Ramaley：该奖项为一个小型研讨会提供支持，该研讨会将考虑所有类型的高等院校正在发生的变化对美国国家科学基金会的影响，特别是对生物科学的研究和教育的影响。这些变化反映了政府和学术机构之间关系的变化，反过来，这些机构及其教职员工对自己在社会中的角色的看法也发生了变化。虽然这种变化是正常和健康的，但越来越多的变化的动力来自联邦机构对教师研究的支持缺乏增长，最大的机构越来越重视教学，以及毕业生就业模式的变化。这些变化对机构政策和实践的影响，以及它们对资助生物科学研究和教育的联邦机构的影响将被探讨。* * *

9633064 Ramaley This award provides support for a small workshop to consider the implications for NSF of changes underway in institutions of higher learning of all types, especially as they have implications for research and education in the biological sciences. These changes reflect changes in the relationship of the government and academic institutions and, in turn, changes in the perceptions of the institutions and their faculty as they view of their own roles in society. Although such change is normal and healthy, increasingly the impetus for change comes from lack of growth in support for faculty research by Federal agencies, increased emphasis on teaching by the largest institutions, and changing patterns of employment among graduates. The effects of these changes on institutional policy and practice, and their implications for Federal agencies that fund research ald education in the biological sciences will be explored. ***
