NSF Demystified: Preparing a competitive proposal to the National Science Foundation 

Tuesday, May 2nd | 12:30 - 1:20pm | Zoom

RSVP HERE

Interested in pursuing support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) – which funds 27% of all federally-supported research at U.S. colleges and universities and over 25% of current externally-funded dollars at SU – but slightly overwhelmed by what can feel like an intimidating process? It is more manageable than one might think!

Join us as we ‘demystify’ the NSF by guiding participants to:

  • Understand the objectives and structure of the NSF
  • Identify promising NSF funding opportunities
  • Delve into NSF opportunities that are particularly well-suited for the SU context, including the Research at Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) program
  • Break down the components of NSF proposals
  • Gain critical insights into developing and writing a competitive NSF proposal
