In addition to panel sessions, the workshop was interspersed with opportunities to network with senior researchers and representatives from government agencies. Attendees learned about how to improve grant proposals, preparing for tenure, managing work/life balance, and planning a research career. Workshop participants attended a reception with leaders of CRA affiliate societies and CRA board members, and participants spent part of the final day meeting with program directors from NSF’s Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate.IMG_7957
