NSF Day at Illinois State University

About this event

This NSF Day is a one-day workshop providing an introduction to and overview of the National Science Foundation. Additionally, there will be presentations on the programs of five NSF directorates: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Biological Sciences; Computer & Information Science & Engineering; Education & Human Resources, and Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences.  There will also be time for participants to chat informally with NSF program managers.

The National Science Foundation is charged with keeping our nation's science and engineering enterprise healthy, dynamic, and relevant and with advancing science, mathematics, engineering, and technology education at all levels from pre-K through postdoctoral.  It is our hope that events such as this will stimulate new interest in NSF programs at institutions that have not been among our traditional customers, as well as at premier research institutions.

There is no registration fee for this workshop; however, pre-registration is required.
