This award will support annual workshops in 2022-2024 for new and future PIs in the NSF Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS). The two-full-day workshop for 2022 will be held June 13-14 at the Westin Alexandria Old Town in Alexandria, VA, and the meeting website is available at this URL: https://reg.conferences.dce.ufl.edu/Physics. The conferences for 2023 and 2024 would be held in June of each year at the National Science Foundation (NSF) headquarters in Alexandria, VA. The main goals of the workshop are two-fold: (1) to provide PIs who have just received their first award 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 scope of this workshop is in line with the mission of NSF Diversity Initiatives: To recruit, retain, and develop a diverse, high-performing workforce that draws from all segments of society and values fairness, diversity, and inclusion to promote the progress of science.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 include (1) Individual investigator programs in MPS; (2) NSF funded Centers and Facilities and Special programs; (3) NSF policies and procedures; (4) Broader impacts of research; (5) Preparing successful proposals; (6) Research integrity. 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. This proposal also includes an assessment plan 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.

该奖项将支持 2022-2024 年为 NSF 数学和物理科学理事会 (MPS) 的新任和未来 PI 举办的年度研讨会。 2022 年为期两天的研讨会将于 6 月 13 日至 14 日在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大老城威斯汀酒店举行，会议网站如下 URL：https://reg.conferences.dce.ufl.edu /物理。 2023 年和 2024 年的会议将于每年 6 月在位于弗吉尼亚州亚历山大的国家科学基金会 (NSF) 总部举行。研讨会的主要目标有两个：(1) 为刚刚获得第一个奖项或试图从 MPS 项目获得资金的 PI 提供有关政策、程序和机会的宝贵信息和建议。 NSF，重点是从代表性不足的少数群体中招募参与者，以及 (2) 为指定群体中的 NSF 培训一批未来的审稿人。本次研讨会的范围符合 NSF 多元化倡议的使命：招募、保留和培养一支多元化、高绩效的员工队伍，他们来自社会各阶层，重视公平、多样性和包容性，以促进社会进步研讨会计划由两个主要部分组成：NSF 项目主管和特邀演讲者的信息演示以及模拟小组审查活动。 演讲主题包括（1）MPS 中的个体研究者项目； (2) NSF 资助的中心和设施以及特别项目； (3) NSF 政策和程序； (4) 研究的更广泛影响； (5) 准备成功的建议书； (6)科研诚信。 在两天的时间里，参与者将在项目总监指导下的分组会议中参与模拟小组审查完整流程的活动。该提案还包括一个评估计划，用于跟踪参与者并通过参与者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。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为值得支持通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估。
