Comprehensive Proposal Development from Start to Finish
Wednesday May 2, 2012, 8:30 a.m - 4:30 p.m. (lunch provided)
Preparing and submitting a grant application is a multi-step process that involves many people. This session will describe the components and purposes of typical grant applications, timelines and responsibilities for preparing successful proposals, and the various submission processes used by public and private grant agencies. Participants will learn the importance of a literature review for grant proposals and the differences between grant proposals and academic publications. Handout materials will include a chart of proposal components, examples of timelines, budget narratives, abstracts, and a four-point checklist to review grant applications before submission to assure that the application is complete and compliant with guidelines. |

NSF – Questions and Answers
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is a major supporter of basic science research and science education, offering opportunities via its many directorates and their programs. Principal investigators can improve their chances of funding with a fuller understanding of how NSF is organized, performs its functions, and interacts with the academic community. This session offers an opportunity to ask questions about NSF programs or questions that remained unanswered from the recent NSF conference in Evanston, IL.
