Support for Faculty to Teach Survival Skills and Ethics

在科学上取得成功需要各种专业的“生存”技能以及背景知识 以及通常由博士后和博士后培训计划提供的研究经验。因此， 归根结底，大多数研究人员必须学会有效地沟通(口头和书面)， 监督和指导，获得就业和资金，并负责任地行事。在过去的时间里 20年来，研究人员开发了一门课程，为研究生、博士后、 和初级教员，在这些科目上接受过明确的培训。此外，在过去的10年里， 调查人员提供了一年一度的教练员会议，教职员工在会上获得 在自己的机构开设这类课程所需的指导和材料。在这 续签申请，要求提供资金，以扩大国际和平协会传播其模式的努力 提供正规的生存技能和负责任的研究指导(RCR)。 有四个具体目标：(1)为符合条件的个人提供旅行奖学金，以 参加培训师会议。每年将提供40个奖学金名额 目标是增加参与者的数量、质量和多样性。(2)适度出价 初创企业助学金，帮助教职员工建立他们的教学计划。十 参赛者将获得每人最高2,000美元的竞争性赠款 年度最佳教官会议。(3)为大学校友举办地区会议 培训师会议和其他感兴趣的个人。两个为期三天的会议将 每年提供一次。这些会议的目标将是促进信息交流 以及区域网络的发展。(四)扩大工作成效评估 这个项目。将评估区域会议和启动赠款的影响。在……里面 此外，还将对校友为学员实施的4个项目进行实地考察 每年。后者旨在为如何设计更有效的教学提供见解 面向来自不同环境的教职员工。

Success in science requires a variety of professional "survival" skills as well as the background and research experience normally provided by pre- and post-doctoral training programs. Thus, ultimately most researchers must learn to communicate effectively (orally and in writing), teach, supervise and mentor, obtain employment and funding, and behave responsibly. Over the past 20 years the investigators have developed a course that provides graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty with explicit training in these subjects. In addition, for the past 10 years the investigators have offered an annual trainer-of-trainers conference in which faculty obtain the instruction and materials necessary to establish such courses at their own institutions. In this renewal application, funding is requested to extend the Pi's efforts at disseminating their model for providing formal instruction in survival skills and the responsible conduct of research (RCR). There are four specific aims (1) Provide qualified individuals with travel fellowships to attend the trainer-of-trainers conference. Forty fellowships per year will be made available with the goal of increasing the number, quality, and diversity of participants. (2) Offer modest start-up grants to help faculty members establish their instructional programs. Ten competitive grants of up to $2,000 each will be made available to participants in the current year's trainer-of-trainers conference. (3) Develop regional conferences for alumni of the trainer-of-trainers conference and other interested individuals. Two 3-day conferences will be offered per year. The objective of these conferences will be to facilitate information sharing and the development of regional networks. (4) Expand the evaluation of the effectiveness of this project. The impacts of the regional conferences and start-up grants will be assessed. In addition, site visits of 4 of the programs implemented by alumni for trainees will be performed per year. The latter is intended to provide insights into how to design more effective instruction for faculty members from different environments.
