Increase your chances of obtaining an NSF grant by learning what makes a successful proposal and how to navigate the application process.

Overview

Join us for a virtual training that will answer your most pressing questions about the National Science Foundation (NSF) grant process, a funding source that contributes over $8 billion annually to scientific research. By learning how to navigate the application process, you can ensure that, along with the intellectual merit of your work, you’ve done all you can do to set yourself up for success. We will cover key components of NSF grant proposals including:

  • What steps do you take to begin the process?
  • What makes a good proposal?

This webcast is best for any faculty researcher who does not have experience applying for NSF grants and who would like to understand the process better before applying.

Agenda

Now that you understand what the NSF is and if it is a suitable source of funding for your research, you will begin a plan for your submission by learning about what your proposal should entail. You will learn how to articulate the broader impact of your research and demonstrate intellectual merit.

Part 3: What happens after your submission

Submitting your proposal is just the beginning of the process. In this section, we will discuss what to expect after you submit your proposal. You will learn tips on how to:

  • Interpret reviews
  • Meet continued deadlines
  • Decide when to resubmit or give up on a proposal
