An informational meeting on the Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN) program for faculty who are considering submitting proposals for these grants. Writing a successful GAANN proposal is very different from writing a proposal to NSF or NIH. We will discuss strategies for writing competitive GAANN proposals. In addition, Dr. Paulo Lima-Filho, PI of the currently-funded GAANN in the Department of Mathematics, will discuss what PIs should be aware of when planning a GAANN program and will answer questions.
Registration is encouraged but not required.
To register, send an e-mail opd@tamu.edu with subject "GAANN".
Background on the GAANN
The GAANN program provides fellowships for graduate students with excellent academic records and financial need to pursue graduate study in one or more of the following areas of national need: Biology, Chemistry, Computer and Informational Sciences, Engineering, Mathematics, Nursing, Physics, and Educational Assessment, Evaluation, and Research. This year's invitational priority is for Educational, Assessment, Evaluation, and Research Programs that focus on preparing students at the Master's or Ph.D. level who will be trained in statistics and measurement theory to become psychometricians.
The Estimated Range of Awards is $128,628 - $214,380 and Estimated Average Size of Awards is $213,000. Typical awards fund 4 - 6 fellowships per year. Stipends can be up to $30,000 (depending on need), with an additional institutional payment of about $12,876.
GAANN proposals are due March 16, 2009; however, because they must be submitted via Grants.gov, which has been running very slowly recently, grants should be ready to submit several days before the deadline. (Check with your proposal administrator for more information regarding schedule for submission of the proposal.)
