dc.description	The goal of this Build and Broaden Conference proposal is to build research capacity and partnerships in the social, behavioral and economic (SBE) sciences at MSIs in Texas. A primary outcome of the workshops will be to enhance capacity to prepare grant proposals in the social, behavioral and economic sciences, aligning with and advancing the goals and objectives of the Dear Colleague Letter (DCL), Build and Broaden, released by NSF's SBE Directorate (NSF 2020: 20-048). The proposed workshops aim to accomplish three key objectives for SBE faculty at MSIs in Texas: • Create successful mechanisms to address the lack of socialization and familiarity with NSF funding programs and grant proposals and thus build capacity in the SBE sciences • Provide on-site mentorship and collaboration opportunities for faculty • Collect survey data on the career pathways of participating faculty in the SBE sciences at these institutions, with an eye to better understanding how to support research capacity, especially for collaborations Being a Resilient Researcher at Mid-Career Webinar Series – Spring 2021 Events Webinar 1: Navigating Roadblocks”: Wednesday, February 10, 2021 from 4:00pm-5:15pm (CST) Webinar 2: “Being a Resilient Researcher at Mid-Career: Expanding Your Toolkit” Wednesday, March 10, 2021 from 4:00pm-5:15pm (CST) Webinar 3: ““Expanding Your External Funding Imagination and Fine-Tuning Your Toolkit” Wednesday, April 7, 2021 from 4:00pm-5:15pm (CST) Webinar 4: “Strategies for Career Success and Promotion” Wednesday, May 5, 2021 from 4:00pm-5:15pm (CST)	en_US
dc.description.abstract	The state of Texas has more minority-serving institutions (MSI) than any state other than California. The state's pressing priorities mimic many at the national level, such as a need for greater inclusion at all levels of the scientific enterprise. While the National Science Foundation (NSF) has identified many effective strategies to demystify the grants process, funding rates at MSIs still lag behind other institutions with fewer students of color, including in the social, behavioral, and economic (SBE) sciences. In turn, this means MSI students have fewer opportunities to participate in research or to acquire cutting edge scientific techniques, the kinds of experiences that increase options for career paths and advanced education. This grant funds three mini-conferences for MSI faculty in Texas, with a focus on participation by faculty of color, women faculty, and mid-career faculty. The mini-conferences will feature presentations by former NSF staff and other faculty who bring expertise in navigating different career pathways, including at MSIs. Through the events, faculty at MSIs will learn more about NSF grant proposals and research collaborations and will have access to on-site mentorship and collaboration opportunities. The conference organizers also plan to collect survey data on the career pathways of participating faculty in the SBE sciences at these institutions, with an eye towards better understanding how to support research capacity, especially for collaborations. As a result, a larger pool of faculty at MSIs will share an understanding of NSF proposals and fellow SBE researchers in the region. Increased attention to SBE research and funding in the state of Texas will advance fundamental knowledge in the SBE disciplines, highlighting the value of SBE research in a state which receives roughly 90% of its funding in the non-SBE disciplines, according to figures from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.	en_US
