Huh? This is just I-Corps? Why is this being announced so late? Training is one thing, but, having done it, 100 interviews is literally a full time job.

In any case, I teach Wednesdays 2-3:15, so...I can't make the sessions. I corps is for grad students who have few fixed commitments, I don't understand how they expect PIs to accommodate this.

Dear POSE Phase II Principal Investigators,

 

Sincerest thanks for those who were able to join the POSE Phase II information session yesterday afternoon.  Please find attached the slides that were presented and feel free to share them with members of your team. Here are a few follow-up things to know:

 

Registration Deadline: Friday, 12/8/2023

Registration Link: Registration Link  

Onboarding Session with lead instructor David Charron (all team members should participate).

Day: Wednesday, 12/13/2023

Time: 1:00-2:30 ET

Zoom Link: Webinar Zoom Link

Meeting ID: 941 5237 7487
Passcode: 77807699

 

Schedule: The dates and times in the schedule are set and will not be changed.  For Wednesday weekly sessions, your team will be able to request the block of time to attend: either 1:00-3:00 or 2:00-4:00.  If you have team members that absolutely must miss 1-2 sessions, or parts of a session, we can make some accommodations as long as you are covered by the rest of your team.  If you are attending a conference for ecosystem discovery and interviews you are still expected to participate in the weekly sessions.  We allow excused absences for family and medical emergencies. Please notify NSF of all absences.

 

If you need a consultation to help in identifying your team members and/or you would like assistance finding an industry mentor, please reach out and we can set up a meeting.

 

We appreciate your candid feedback, and we recognize that both the timing and time commitment are challenging. Based on feedback from prior I-Corps participants, we expect that you will find the experience invaluable in the success of your project. We truly appreciate your efforts.

 

See you next week!

Dear POSE Phase II Principal Investigator,

 

As part of your POSE Phase II award, NSF is providing a required training program on ecosystem discovery, governance, and sustainability. The program begins on January 16, 2024. We will hold a short webinar next week on Wednesday, 12/6 at 3:00-4:00pm ET to introduce the training program and answer questions. Please ensure that you or one of your POSE team members attends, as the session will provide information and support on how to register for the training. Feel free to pass the webinar invitation on to your other POSE team members.

The training registration process is now open, and we encourage you to explore it at your earliest convenience.  The deadline for registration is one week from today: Friday 12/8/2023. This program is an adaptation of the highly successful NSF I-Corps program and is designed to provide best practices, mentored guidance, and support for your teams during the ecosystem discovery process. As principal investigator, you should register on behalf of your team. Your team only needs to submit one registration.

This person plays a pivotal role by offering insights from their perspective of industry practices, OSE governance, OSE standards and sustainability models.
