NSF Ceramics Grantees Workshop and Website

非技术描述：该项目支持一个研讨会，重点关注获得美国国家科学基金会（NFS）材料研究部陶瓷项目资助的首席研究员（pi）的专业发展，并为该社区开发一个网站。研讨会的目标是：(1)教育项目负责人了解NSF的提案提交、审查、奖励和监督流程；(2)为陶瓷领域的研究人员提供一个合作和分享研究项目信息的环境；(3)加强科研成果的交流；(3)让私人投资机构参与讨论私人投资机构、专业协会和资助机构的角色和责任。此外，还将建立一个网站，更好地展示nsf资助的陶瓷研究人员和教育家的成就。技术细节：这个为期两天的研讨会将于2010年9月初在NSF总部举行。将涉及的主题包括：NSF审查过程；与业界进行学术联络的资助计划（GOALI）；NSF项目成果和报告要求；《政府绩效结果法》（GPRA）要点和新闻稿；以及pi、专业协会和NSF的角色和责任。在研讨会结束时，将与参与者进行讨论和调查，以便为未来的PI会议提供信息。由此产生的网站将把研究人员、他们的nsf资助项目的摘要、出版物、新闻稿和其他亮点联系在一起。

NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: This project supports a workshop focused on the professional development of Principal Investigators (PIs) who have active National Science Foundation (NFS) grants from the Ceramics Program in the Division of Materials Research, and the development of a website for this community. The goals of workshop are to: (1) educate PIs about the NSF proposal submission, review, award and oversight processes; (2) provide an environment for researchers within the field of ceramics to collaborate and share information about their research projects; (3) improve communication about research accomplishments; and (3) engage PIs in discussions about the roles and responsibilities of PIs, professional societies and funding agencies. As well, a website will be developed that will better showcase the accomplishments of the NSF-funded researchers and educators in ceramics. TECHNICAL DETAILS: This two-day workshop will take place in early September 2010 at NSF Headquarters. Topics that will be covered include: the NSF review process; the solicitation Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI); NSF project accomplishments and reporting requirements; Government Performance Results Act (GPRA) highlights and press releases; and the roles and responsibilities of PIs, professional societies and NSF. At the end of the workshop, a discussion and survey will be conducted with the participants to inform future PI meetings. The resulting website will link together researchers, abstracts of their NSF-funded projects, publications, press releases and other highlights.
