Chemistry Early Career Investigator Workshop

新的教师往往发现写他们的第一个拨款申请的过程是相当具有挑战性的。富兰克林和马歇尔学院的凯瑟琳·普拉斯教授和加州理工学院的托马斯米勒教授正在组织一个研讨会，旨在为新教师提供有关提案撰写和审查过程的见解，并使新教师能够向联邦资助机构撰写更具竞争力的提案。参与者有机会与成功的赠款获得者和项目官员建立联系。他们参与模拟小组，速度辅导课程和其他活动，旨在让他们更好地了解如何制定一个雄心勃勃但又现实的研究计划。更广泛的影响也讨论了教育活动，推广和应用到社会问题。该研讨会，由化学部的支持，题为“化学早期职业调查研讨会”，将于2017年3月20日至21日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行。本次研讨会汇集了来自广泛的机构和人口统计的100名初级教师，讨论战略性地制定研究思路，规划教育和推广活动，以及评估和评估项目目标的步骤。潜在的参与者可以在http://go.fandm.edu/che-2017career上获得更多信息。此外，还提供电子邮件地址：CHE-2017Career@fandm.edu

Newer faculty often find the process of writing their first grant proposals to be quite challenging. Professors Katherine Plass of Franklin and Marshall College and Thomas Miller of the California Institute of Technology are organizing a workshop that seeks to provide new faculty with insight about proposal writing and reviewing processes, and position newer faculty to write more competitive proposals to federal funding agencies. Participants have the opportunity to network with successful grant recipients and program officers. They engage in mock panels, speed coaching sessions, and other activities designed to provide them with a better understanding of how to put together a research plan that is ambitious yet realistic. Broader impacts are also discussed in terms are educational activities, outreach and applications to societal problems. The workshop, supported by the Division of Chemistry, is entitled, "Chemistry Early Career Investigator Workshop," will be held on March 20-21, 2017 in Arlington, Virginia. This workshop brings together 100 junior faculty from a broad range of institutions and demographics to discuss steps in strategically crafting research ideas, planning educational and outreach activities, and assessing and evaluating project aims.
