Dean in Residence Program

这项建议的目的是通过建立一个新的机制，加强美国国家科学基金会（NSF）和研究生界之间的伙伴关系，使我们提供研究生教育的大学和NSF的高级管理人员之间进行持续和实质性的沟通。 在借鉴美国研究生院理事会（Council of Graduate Schools，CGS）驻院院长模式的基础上，提出了建立NSF/CGS驻院院长制度的设想。 通过研究生院理事会开发和管理的全国性竞争选择，NSF-CGS驻院院长将与研究生教育部（DGE）和教育和人力资源局其他部门的项目官员互动，与NSF研究部门的项目官员和经理，以及国家科学基金会的高级官员。 通过CGS工作，院长将反过来与研究生院院长社区和更广泛的科学和工程学院分享NSF对研究生教育的看法，特别是但不限于NSF试图通过其投资组合加强或重定向的研究生教育方面。 该计划将作为一个全国性的模式，可以采用其他联邦机构在未来。

The purpose of this proposal is to enhance the partnership between the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the graduate community by creating a new mechanism for ongoing and substantive communications between senior administrators at our universities providing graduate education and the NSF. Based on the model of the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) Dean in Residence Program, we propose to establish a NSF/CGS Dean in Residence. Selected through a national competition developed and administered by the Council of Graduate Schools, the NSF-CGS Dean in Residence, would interact with program officers in the Division of Graduate Education (DGE) and in other divisions of the Directorate for Eduction and Human Resources, with program officers and managers in the research directorates at NSF, as well as with senior officials at the National Science Foundation. Working though CGS the dean would, in turn, share with the graduate dean community and with the broader science and engineering faculty NSF's perspective on graduate education, particularly but not exclusively those aspects of graduate education that NSF is attempting to strengthen or redirect through its portfolio. The program will serve as a national model that could be adopted by other federal agencies in the future.
