CISE Research Investigators Conference: Pacific Islands Regional CISE Aspiring Investigators Workshop

为了与扩大科学和工程参与的国家目标保持一致，夏威夷大学将领导一个研讨会，为该地区的研究人员开发高质量和有竞争力的提案做好准备，以满足国家科学基金会计算机和信息科学与工程(CEISE)核心计划的期望。研讨会将支持夏威夷和关岛的少数群体服务机构(MSI)的研究人员培养技能，以增加制定并提交给NSF CEISE核心计划的竞争性提案的数量。研讨会将通过汇聚来自该地区不同信息科学相关计划和学科的研究人员来促进跨学科合作。研讨会的参与者将包括有抱负的个人投资总监和高级研究导师。讲习班的安排将促进信息共享以及与会者之间的联网。有抱负的个人指导员将与导师配对，导师将在研讨会期间和之后就提案开发提供建议。关键信息将通过导师的全体陈述和小组讨论进行分享。将安排与导师的分组会议，以促进同行之间的联系，并获得对提案要素的反馈。研讨会的内容将包括NSF提案的制定过程；确定相关的CEISE核心计划；NSF的优点审查标准和具体的计划征集；竞争性提案的关键组成部分；提案审查过程；研究伦理；以及结果的传播。研讨会将提供指导和网络机会，以加强研究人员的职业生涯和夏威夷大学系统和其他地区性大学研究活动的长期可持续性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

In alignment with national goals to broaden participation in science and engineering, the University of Hawaii will lead a workshop to prepare researchers in the region to develop high-quality and competitive proposals that meet the expectations of the National Science Foundation Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Core Programs. The workshop will support researchers at minority-serving institutions (MSIs) across Hawaii and Guam to build skills to increase the number of competitive proposals developed and submitted to the NSF CISE Core Programs. The workshop will foster interdisciplinary collaboration by bringing together researchers from different information science-related programs and disciplines within the region. Workshop attendees will include both aspiring PIs and senior research mentors. The workshop will be structured to facilitate information sharing, as well as networking among participants. Aspiring PIs will be matched with mentors who will advise on proposal development during and after the workshop. Key information will be shared via mentors’ plenary presentations and panel discussions. Breakout sessions with mentors will be scheduled to facilitate peer connections and gain feedback on proposal elements. Workshop content will include the NSF proposal development process; identifying relevant CISE Core Programs; the NSF merit review criteria and specific program solicitations; key components of a competitive proposal; the proposal review process; ethics of research; and dissemination of results. The workshop will provide mentorship and networking opportunities to strengthen researchers’ careers and the long-term sustainability of the University of Hawaii System's and other regional universities’ research activities.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.
