Workshop/Collaborative Research: 2010 NSF CAREER Proposal Writing Workshop; Georgia Institute of Technology; Atlanta, Georgia; March 25-26, 2010

这个合作奖提供了一个职业生涯的建议书写作研讨会将于2010年3月25日和26日在亚特兰大的格鲁吉亚理工学院举行的行为支持。提供了150名与会者谁将从优先考虑年轻教师的研究可能会得到支持的土木，机械和制造业创新司的申请人中选择，并代表性不足的群体的成员。研讨会将包括一个关于提案写作基础知识的讲座，最近的职业生涯获奖者的经验，以及对最近的职业生涯提案和与会者自己的提案摘要的模拟小组审查。以往类似的讲习班吸引的申请者通常是讲习班所能容纳人数的两倍。以前的与会者享有显着更高的提案成功率，无论是与他们的职业生涯和其他建议。因此，预计这次研讨会将提供信息，使与会者能够编写更具竞争力的提案，从而提高他们的研究质量。

This collaborative award provides support for the conduct of a CAREER proposal writing workshop to be held March 25 and 26, 2010, at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. Provision is made for 150 attendees who will be selected from among the applicants giving priority to young faculty whose research will likely receive support from the Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation, and to members of underrepresented groups. The workshop will include a lecture on the basics of proposal writing, experiences of recent CAREER awardees, and mock panel reviews of actual recent CAREER proposals and of the attendees' own proposal summaries. Previous similar workshops have attracted typically twice as many applicants as can be accommodated at the workshop. Previous attendees have enjoyed significantly higher proposal success rates, both with their CAREER and other proposals. Thus, it is expected that this workshop will provide information that will enable the attendees to write more competitive proposals and subsequently improve the quality of their research.
