Non-Technical DescriptionThis project is aimed at hosting a virtual workshop for new and future principal investigators (PIs) in the NSF Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS). Due to the unexpected nature of the COVID-19 restrictions, the two full-day workshop is planned as an online event on October 11 – 12, 2021. Since the first workshop in 2014, the main goal of the workshop has been in two-fold: (1) to provide PIs’ who have just received their first awards or who are attempting to obtain funding from the MPS programs with valuable information and advice on the policies, procedures, and opportunities available at NSF, with an emphasis on recruiting attendees from underrepresented minority groups, and (2) to train a pool of future reviewers for NSF in the designated group. The workshop targets involvement of a diverse pool of new and potential MPS PIs to enhance their successful interactions with NSF.Technical DescriptionThis project is for a workshop for a diverse pool of new and future principal investigators (PIs) in the NSF Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS). The Workshop will be conducted through an online platform. The workshop program is composed of two main parts: informational presentations by NSF Program Directors and invited speakers and mock panel review activities. The topics of presentations are designed to provide the new and future investigators with information about the NSF process. Specific topics will include merit review process, funding opportunities in MPS and NSF policies and procedures. Over two days, the participants will be engaged in the activities emulating the full processes of panel review in breakout sessions guided by Program Directors. The project uses an assessment planned to track the participants and to evaluate the efficacy of the workshop training through the success rate in securing funding and participation in the review process of the participants.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.

非技术描述该项目旨在为 NSF 数学和物理科学理事会 (MPS) 的新任和未来首席研究员 (PI) 举办虚拟研讨会。由于 COVID-19 限制的意外性质，两个全日间研讨会计划于 2021 年 10 月 11 日至 12 日以在线活动形式举行。自 2014 年第一届研讨会以来，研讨会的主要目标有两个：(1) 提供 PI刚刚获得第一个奖项的人或正在尝试从 MPS 计划获得资金的人，以及有关 NSF 政策、程序和机会的宝贵信息和建议的人，重点是从代表性不足的少数群体中招募参与者，以及 (2)培训 NSF 指定小组的未来审稿人。该研讨会的目标是让不同的新的和潜在的 MPS PI 参与进来，以增强他们与 NSF 的成功互动。技术描述该项目是为不同的新的和潜在的 MPS PI 举办的研讨会。未来的首席研究员NSF 数学和物理科学理事会 (MPS) 的 PI 研讨会将通过在线平台进行。研讨会计划由两个主要部分组成：NSF 项目主管和受邀演讲者的信息演讲以及模拟小组评审活动。演讲主题旨在为新的和未来的研究人员提供有关 NSF 流程的信息，具体主题将包括 MPS 和 NSF 政策和程序中的资助机会。活动模仿在项目总监指导下的分组会议中进行小组审查的整个过程。该项目使用计划进行的评估来跟踪参与者，并通过获得资金和参与审查过程的成功率来评估研讨会培训的效果。 NSF 的法定使命并通过评估被认为值得支持，这反映了使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
