Through this project, the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) will host two virtual workshops in 2024 that will inform the readiness of principal investigators to respond to NSF's new PAPPG requirements implemented in response to the America COMPETES Act of 2022 and the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. Specifically, the workshops will address NSF requirements: (1) that all proposals to NSF include mentoring plans for all graduate students on NSF funded awards; (2) that institutions provide mentor training and mentorship and describe in grant proposals a plan to provide appropriate training and oversight in the Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research; and (3) that each individual postdoctoral scholar and graduate student receiving substantial NSF support must have an Individual Development Plan, updated annually. The first workshop will focus on faculty researchers while the second will focus on graduate deans and other administrators who have responsibilities for expanding and enhancing graduate mentorship training across STEM fields. The proposal will fund the identification, development, and dissemination of mentoring resources and tools as well as promising practices and policies to enhance graduate mentoring and assist institutions and individual faculty in responding to the new NSF requirements. The resulting resources will address an important need for an accessible set of resources on evidence-based and promising practices and policies in graduate mentorship. A central goal of this proposal is to provide more accessible resources on effective mentoring to a broad range of institutions and universities serving diverse populations and in EPSCoR jurisdictions.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.

通过该项目，研究生院理事会（CGS）将在2024年举办两个虚拟研讨会，以告知首席研究人员的准备，以应对NSF为响应2022年《美国竞争法案》的NSF新的PAPPG要求，以及2022年的《 CHIPS and Science Act》以及2022年的《 CHIPS and Science Act》。奖项； （2）机构提供导师培训和指导，并在授予建议中描述一项计划，以对负责任和道德研究进行适当的培训和监督； （3）每个接受大量NSF支持的博士后学者和研究生必须具有每年更新的个人发展计划。第一个研讨会将专注于教师研究人员，而第二个研讨会将重点关注研究生院长和其他管理人员，他们有责任扩大和增强跨STEM领域的研究生指导培训。该提案将资助指导资源和工具的识别，开发和传播，以及有希望的做法和政策，以增强研究生指导，协助机构和个人教师应对新的NSF要求。由此产生的资源将针对研究生指导中的基于证据和有希望的实践和政策的一组可访问资源的重要需求。该提案的一个核心目的是为在各种各样的机构和欧普西尔管辖区中提供更多的机构和大学提供更多可访问的资源。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
