WORKSHOP: 2018 DMR Young Investigators Workshop

组织青年研究人员会议是为了向研究人员提供有关NSF提案提交过程、机会和机制的必要信息。一组首次申请或过去没有申请过国家科学基金的申请人将被提供有用的信息，旨在提高他们的提案写作技巧，更好地理解国家科学基金的流程。模拟提案审查活动将有助于更好地理解价值审查过程。鼓励小型学院和代表性不足群体的pi参与。技术摘要：DMR青年研究人员研讨会的参与者将收到由现任或前任项目主任介绍的有关NSF流程的信息。具体而言，参与者将接受以下方面的培训：绩效评估原则、撰写成功的提案、建立强大的更广泛影响组件、利益冲突和道德规则，并了解国家科学基金会的资助机会。参与者将撰写并审查一页的提案，由小组进行评估，包括完整的小组审查过程、讨论和撰写小组总结。在研讨会期间获得的为期两天的强化培训预计将对年轻的pi最有益，并增加他们与NSF成功互动的机会。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Non-technical abstractMeeting of Young Investigators is organized to provide researchers with necessary information about NSF process, opportunities and mechanisms related to proposal submission. A group of first-time applicants or those who did not apply to NSF in the past will be provided helpful information designed to improve their proposal writing skills and understand the NSF process better. A mock proposal review activity will enable better understanding of the merit review process. Participation of PIs from small colleges and underrepresented groups was encouraged. Technical AbstractParticipants of the DMR Young Investigators Workshop will receive information about the NSF process presented by current or past Program Directors. Specifically, the participants will be trained in Merit Review Principles, writing a successful proposal, building a strong Broader Impact component, Conflict of Interest and Ethics rules and they will learn about funding opportunities within NSF. Participants will write and review one-page proposals, to be evaluated by panels, including a full panel review process, discussion and writing panel summaries. The two-day intensive training obtained during the Workshop is expected to be most beneficial to young PIs and increase their chances of successful interactions with NSF.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
