Summer Course on Grant Writing in the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SCG)

密西西比大学社会、行为和经济科学(SCG)的夏季助学金写作课程将为社会、行为和经济学(SBE)科学的早期博士提供为期3年的助学金撰写指导和培训。将招募12-14名职业生涯早期的科学家，他们已经或即将获得SBE科学博士学位。对于对国家科学基金会的SBE博士后研究奖学金(SPRF)项目感兴趣的个人，SCG应该特别感兴趣。课程内容涵盖广泛的主题，包括但不限于研究设计、研究项目概念化、制定预算和回应项目征集。SCG的最终目标是支持几个成功的赠款申请的发展，进而扩大代表不足的群体对SBE科学的参与。该计划实现了一些目标：1)为SBE学科的早期职业科学家，特别是代表性不足群体的成员，提供社会科学研究设计的简要欣赏，包括研究目标、理论、方法和数据分析之间的联系；2)帮助参与者找到与他们的研究愿望相匹配的国家科学基金和其他联邦研究支持；与项目官员建立专业的工作关系；并了解提案审查过程；3)提高每个参与者？S开发和撰写科学构思良好的研究提案的能力，以国家科学基金？S提案模板为范本；以及4)通过将参与者的知识传播给他们的同龄人和学生，促进适当的、强有力的SBE科学研究在代表性不足的社区中传播。

The Summer Course on Grant Writing in the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SCG) at the University of Mississippi will provide early-career PhDs in the social, behavioral, and economic (SBE) sciences with mentorship and training in grant writing over the course of 3-years. A diverse cohort of between 12-14 early-career scientists who have or soon will obtain a PhD in the SBE sciences will be recruited to participate. The SCG should be of particular interest to individuals interested in the SBE Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (SPRF) program at NSF. Course content covers a broad spectrum of topics including but not limited to research design, conceptualizing a research project, developing a budget, and responding to program solicitations. The ultimate goal of the SCG is to support the development of several successful grant submissions and in turn, broaden participation of underrepresented groups in the SBE sciences. This program accomplishes a number of goals: 1) To provide early-career scientists in the SBE disciplines, particularly members of underrepresented groups, with a brief appreciation of research design in the social sciences, including the links between research objectives, theory, methods, and data analysis; 2) help participants locate NSF and other federal research support that matches their research aspirations; establish a professional working relationship with program officers; and understand the proposal-review process; 3) To improve each participant?s ability to develop and write a scientifically well-conceived research proposal, using NSF?s proposal template as a model; and 4) To promote the spread of appropriate, robust scientific research in the SBE sciences in underrepresented communities through the diffusion of knowledge from participants to their peers and students.
