Chemistry Early Career Investigator Workshop

新教师经常发现撰写他们的第一份拨款申请的过程相当具有挑战性。卡尔顿学院的马修·怀特教授和科罗拉多大学的戈达纳·杜科维奇教授正在组织一个研讨会，旨在为新教师提供关于提案写作和审查过程的见解。该研讨会还寻求让新教师为联邦资助机构撰写更具竞争力的提案。参加者有机会与成功的奖助金接受者和计划官员建立联系。他们参与模拟小组、快速指导会议和其他旨在让他们更好地理解如何将一个雄心勃勃但又切合实际的研究计划整合在一起的活动。更广泛的影响标准也讨论了教育活动，外展和应用到社会问题。该研讨会由化学学部支持，名为“化学早期职业调查员研讨会”，将于2018年3月26日至27日在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大市举行。本次研讨会将汇集来自广泛机构和人口统计学的100名初级教师，讨论战略性地制定研究想法，规划教育和推广活动以及评估和评估项目目标的步骤。潜在的参与者可以访问更多的信息（当它变得可用）：http://go.carleton.edu/nsf2018此外还有一个电子邮件地址：CHE-2018career@carleton.edu。

Newer faculty often find the process of writing their first grant proposals to be quite challenging. Professors Matthew Whited of Carlton College and Gordana Dukovic of the University of Colorado are organizing a workshop that seeks to provide new faculty with insight about proposal writing and reviewing processes. The workshop also seeks to 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 impact criteria is also discussed in terms of 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 26-27, 2018 in Alexandria, Virginia. This workshop will bring 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.
