The 2004 CISE Workshop for Principal Investigators of Minority Institutions Infrastructure and Research Infrastructure Awards - July 9-11

CRA将于2004年7月为CISE研究基础设施和CISE少数民族机构基础设施项目组织和促进CISE少数民族机构基础设施奖首席研究员年度研讨会。这些计划为CISE所有研究领域的主要实验设施的建立、改进和运行提供支持。主要研究人员会议是一个将研究人员聚集在一起了解其他研究项目工作的机会，并提供一个讨论新想法和未来方向的论坛。CRA将在两年一度的学术和研究实验室管理者会议——雪鸟会议之前召开研讨会。这种搭配在过去已经被使用了很多次，并且被证明是非常成功的，因为出席RI/MII会议和CRA雪鸟会议的人数有很大的重叠。作为研讨会的组织者，CRA将负责研讨会之前和期间的一些任务，如注册参与者、组织项目、分发讲义、安排会议场地并配备人员。2004年CISE少数族裔机构基础设施和研究基础设施奖首席研究员研讨会将于7月9日至11日在犹他州雪鸟举行。CRA将与CISE RI/MII项目工作人员合作，组装项目要素。在过去的几年中，该计划以NSF官员的介绍性发言和NSF CISE活动的最新情况开始，然后由RI/MII项目的主要研究人员进行介绍。PI报告包括研究和/或教育成果的讨论，包括预期的和意外的；基础设施相关的研究障碍；成功与失败的努力；以及没有RI/MII的支持就不可能取得的研究成果等。会议还将包括海报会议和非正式讨论的机会。

CRA will organize and facilitate the annual CISE Workshop for Principal Investigators of Minority Institutions Infrastructure and Research Infrastructure Awards in July 2004 for the CISE Research Infrastructure and the CISE Minority Institution Infrastructure Programs. These programs provide support for the establishment, enhancement, and operation of major experimental facilities for all CISE research areas. The Principle Investigators' meeting is a chance to bring researchers together to learn about the work of other research projects and to provide a forum to discuss new ideas and future directions. CRA will hold the workshop immediately prior to the CRA biennial conference for academic and research laboratory administrators - the Snowbird Conference. This collocation has been used a number of times in the past and has proved highly successful because of the large overlap in attendance at the RI/MII meeting and the CRA Snowbird conference. As the workshop organizer, CRA will be responsible for a number of tasks both prior to and during the workshop such as registering participants, organizing the program, distributing handouts, and arranging and staffing the meeting site. The 2004 CISE Workshop for Principal Investigators of Minority Institutions Infrastructure and Research Infrastructure Awards will be held July 9-11 in Snowbird Utah. CRA will work with the CISE RI/MII program staff to assemble the program elements. In past years, the program has opened with introductory remarks by NSF officials and updates on NSF CISE activities followed by presentations by the Principle Investigators of RI/MII projects. PI presentations include discussions of research and/or educational outcomes, both expected and unexpected; infrastructure related barriers to research; success and failure of efforts; and research outcomes that would not have been possible without RI/MII support, among other topics. The meeting will also include a poster session and opportunities for informal discussion were also included in the program.
