About the series
The National Science Foundation and Indiana University of Pennsylvania will be holding a one-day workshop on Wednesday, September 21, 2011. This workshop is primarily designed for researchers and educators less experienced in proposing to the NSF; however, more experienced proposers and NSF grantees may well find the workshop useful and informative. 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. We want to extend an invitation to you and to anyone else at your institution who would like to attend this workshop and learn more about the NSF and its programs.
The workshop will provide an overview of the Foundation, its mission, priorities, and budget. It will cover the NSF proposal and merit review process and NSF programs that cut across disciplines. Additionally, representatives from the seven NSF directorates and the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Office of Integrative Activities will make presentations on their programs and will also be available informally and in breakout sessions for discussions of potential research proposals.
The workshop will be held at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex, 711 Pratt Drive, Indiana, Pennsylvania. There is a registration fee of $15.00 for this workshop and preregistration is required. You can register on Kovalchich Conference Center web site using the link below. Please register by Tuesday, September 13, 2011. Registration is limited, so please register early. We hope to see you there.
