Leadership Workshops and Graduate Student Travel Grant

这是一个名为“领导力研讨会和研究生旅行津贴”的研讨会。申请资金以支持大约20名研究生和博士后研究员参加化学研究理事会(CCR)第30届和第31届(这两个研讨会是连续两年)的年会，参加领导能力讲习班，并与化学研究企业的工业界、学术界和政府领导人互动。将为参加CCR年会的最多20名化学和化学工程系主任提供第二次研讨会。资金将用于支付领导力研讨会的主持人和研究生的旅费。智力优势：研究生和博士后研究员将从与产业界、学术界和政府的研究领袖的直接互动中，以及从参与有关紧迫研究和相关问题的讨论中，在智力上受益。学生将获得宝贵的谈判和领导技能，以帮助他们的职业发展。更广泛的影响：学生将获得额外的专业技能，通过参与讨论分组会议的主持人和记录员，这将为他们提供实践经验和个人互动。学生还将参与准备分组会议的报告，以便在会议结束时向整个会议与会者发表演讲。学生们将被介绍领导力实践。国家科学基金会的资金将用于支付学生、教员、研讨会、辅导员和工作人员支持的费用。旅行支持由化学和CBET部门提供。

CBET-0915200 SemerjianThis request is for a workshop entitled Leadership Workshop and Graduate Student Travel Grant. Funds are requested to support approximately 20 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to attend the 30th and 31st (these two workshop are in two successive years) Council for Chemical Research (CCR) Annual Meetings to participate in Leadership Workshops and to interact with the industrial, academic and government leaders in the chemical research enterprise. A second workshop will be provided for up to 20 Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Department chairs attending the CCR Annual Meeting. Funds will be used to pay for the facilitators of the Leadership Workshops and travel expenses for graduate students.Intellectual Merit: Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows will benefit intellectually from direct interactions with research leaders from industry, academia, and government and from participation in discussions about pressing research and related issues. Students will gain valuable negotiation and leadership skills to help advance their careers.Broader Impact: Students will gain additional professional skills by participating as facilitators and recorders in the discussion breakout sessions, which will provide them with hands-on experience and personal interactions. Students will also participate in preparing reports on the breakout sessions for presentations to the entire group of meeting attendees at the conclusion of the conference. The students will be introduced to leadership practices.The NSF funds will be used to cover the expenses of students, faculty, workshops, facilitators and staff support.The travel support is provided by Chemistry and the CBET Divisions.
