A panel of faculty who have been successful at winning funding from NSF, have been program officers at NSF and/or have been reviewers at NSF will then discuss lessons learned and answer questions. Discussion topics will be driven by participants, but are expected to include:
- What are reviewers for each directorate looking for?
- What types of research are of particular interest to programs in this directorate?
- How can a new researcher compete successfully for funding?
- What are some common mistakes that researchers make in their proposals?
In the last 20 minutes, we will divide into groups based on directorate in order to answer more specific, disciplinary-specific questions.
NSF Directorates are :
Biology (BIO)
Computer, Information Science and Engineering (CISE)
Education and Human Resources (EHR)
Engineering (ENG)
Geosciences (GEO)
Math and Physical Sciences (MPS)
Polar Research (OPP)
Social, Behavioral and Economics Sciences (SBE)
