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

这一协作性奖项为将于2010年3月25日和26日在亚特兰大佐治亚理工学院举办的职业建议书撰写研讨会提供支持。编列经费用于150名与会者，他们将从申请者中挑选，优先考虑其研究可能得到土木工程、机械和制造创新司支助的年轻教员，以及代表人数不足的群体的成员。研讨会将包括关于建议书撰写的基础知识、最近职业获奖者的经历以及模拟小组对实际最近的职业建议书和与会者自己的建议书摘要的审查。以前的类似研讨会吸引的申请者通常是研讨会可容纳人数的两倍。之前的参与者的求婚成功率要高得多，无论是在他们的职业生涯还是其他求婚方面。因此，预计这次研讨会将提供信息，使与会者能够撰写更具竞争力的提案，并随后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.
