Workshop on Impact of NSF-CGP Research Visits to Japan on Our Career: Return on Investment

小行星9811608 该奖项支持一个研讨会，以评估NSF-日本基金会全球伙伴关系中心（CGP）奖学金计划下的研究访问对其参与者职业生涯的影响。 主要研究者Roophih Kangari博士是格鲁吉亚理工学院建筑工程项目的教授和主任，他是1989-90年在日美奖学金项目中到日本的长期研究访问者，该项目早于1992年设立的CGP奖学金项目。 将邀请14名代表不同年龄、随后的研究经验、CGP奖学金期限、科学/工程学科和区域分布的参与者参加研讨会。 一名了解该计划的研究生也将参与并协助Kangari博士。 研讨会将于1998年5月7日和8日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的国家科学基金会举行。 本次研讨会代表了CGP计划的第一次正式评估，并应有利于加强该计划在未来和吸引更多的合格申请人。 日本基金会全球合作中心提供支持。 ***

9811608 Kangari This award supports a workshop to evaluate the impact of research visits under the NSF-Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership (CGP) Fellowship Program on the careers of its participants. The PI, Dr. Roozbeh Kangari, Professor and Director, Building Construction Program, Georgia Institute of Technology, was a long-term research visitor to Japan in 1989-90 in the Japan-U.S. Fellowship Program that preceded the CGP Fellowship Program which was established in 1992. Fourteen participants representing a range of ages, subsequent research experience, duration of the CGP Fellowship, science/engineering disciplines, and regional distribution will be invited to participate in the workshop. One graduate student who is knowledgeable about the program also will participate and assist Dr. Kangari. The workshop will be held at the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Virginia, May 7 and 8, 1998. This workshop represents the first formal evaluation of the CGP Program and should be beneficial in strengthening the program in the future and in attracting a larger number of qualified applicants. Support is provided by the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership. ***
