Workshop Dates: August 5-6, 2024
Workshop Location: Anchorage, Alaska, University of Alaska Anchorage
This one and a half day workshop will bring together researchers in Alaska and other regions to grow aspiring PIs in Computing and Information Science and Engineering (CISE). While many participants will be specifically invited, contact us if you are interested in receiving an invitation to attend. The long-term goal is to grow core CISE research among Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). This will broaden research participation and ultimately produce stronger research by bringing together different perspectives that can spark innovation and is more generalizable and inclusive with respect to society. The intended outcome will also help grow the field in terms of research products and the pipeline of students from undergraduate to graduate programs to industry.
The workshop will be held in Anchorage, Alaska at the University of Alaska Anchorage with up to 40 participants. Up to 1/3 of the participants will consist of senior researchers who will help mentor the aspiring PIs. The workshop’s objective is to train and mentor the aspiring PIs about NSF’s Computer and Information Science and Engineering Minority-Serving Institution (CISE-MSI) program, how to submit a competitive proposal, and begin the planning process to submit a proposal.
Participants will receive a stipend to cover or defray the cost of travel, meals, and lodging.
