Workshop: 2017 NSF Proposal Writing Workshop; Los Angeles, California; June 4, 2017

NSF提案写作研讨会将于2017年6月4日在南加州大学举行。研讨会将与第45届中小企业北美制造研究会议（NAMRC）和ASME制造科学与工程会议（MSEC 2017）同期举行。该研讨会旨在帮助未来的NSF提案提交者传达明确的研究目标并提高提案质量。研讨会期间的互动将有助于建立有意义的合作。这将对与会者的学术生涯产生积极影响，进而有助于国家人力资源的发展。此外，当提案写得很好时，审查往往更一致，NSF小组会议也更有效。研讨会的主要活动包括：美国国家科学基金会项目主任的报告，讨论示例研究目标的分组会议，小组问答时间和总结会议。来自美国各地的教授和研究生将被邀请参加研讨会。参与者将学习撰写高质量的NSF提案的指导方针，重点是研究目标。

An NSF proposal writing workshop will be held on June 4, 2017, at the University of Southern California. The workshop will be collocated with the 45th SME North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC) and the ASME Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference (MSEC 2017). The workshop aims to aid future NSF proposal submitters in communicating clear research objectives and improving proposal quality. Interactions during the workshop will help build meaningful collaborations. This will positively affect the attendees, academic career and, subsequently, will help develop the nation's human resources. Additionally, when proposals are well written, the reviews tend to be more consistent and NSF panel meetings are more efficient.Major activities of the workshop include: presentations by NSF program directors, breakout sessions to discuss example research objectives, a group question/answer period, and a conclusions session. Professors and graduate students from across the US will be invited to attend the workshop. Participants will learn guidelines for writing a quality NSF proposal with an emphasis on the research objective.
