Condensed Matter Physics Principal Investigator Workshop, August 7-8, 2014

该项目将为美国国家科学基金会材料研究部凝聚态物理项目的新的和未来的首席研究人员(PI)举办研讨会。研讨会将于2014年8月7日和8日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行。研讨会将为刚刚获得第一个奖项或正试图从《议定书》项目获得资金的非政府组织提供关于国家科学基金会现有政策、程序和机会的宝贵信息和建议。研讨会的重点是：-DMR中心的个人调查员计划-DMR设施-其他用户设施-特殊DMR计划-NSF政策和程序-功绩审查过程-使审查有效和有帮助的因素-准备亮点-准备成功的提案以及新的PI感兴趣的其他主题。研讨会将提供充足的讨论时间和机会与不同的DMR计划官员会面

This project will support a workshop for new and future Principal Investigators (PI's) in the Condensed Matter Physics Program within the NSF Division of Materials Research. The workshop will be held in Arlington, VA on August 7th and 8th, 2014. The workshop will provide PI's who have just received their first award, or are attempting to obtain funding, from the CMP program with valuable information and advice on the policies, procedures and opportunities available at the National Science Foundation. The workshop will focus on: - Individual Investigator Programs in DMR - DMR Centers - DMR Facilities - Other user facilities - Special DMR programs - NSF Policies and Procedures - The Merit Review Process - What makes a review effective and helpful - Preparing highlights - Preparing successful proposalsas well as other topics of interest to new PI's. The workshop will provide ample time for discussion and opportunities to meet with various DMR program officers
