Presenter: Dr. Greg Anderson, National Science Foundation, EarthScope
Program Officer
Summary: I know I need to make my proposals to the National Science
Foundation (NSF) as competitive as possible, but how do I do that? How
do I find out what programs are out there? How do I know what a given
program is looking for? Where would be the best "home" for my
proposal? How do I articulate my ideas clearly, powerfully, and
succinctly? What "counts" as broader impacts, and how do I describe
them convincingly? How do I learn what my fellow PIs think makes a
strong proposal? GPG, DCL, REU, why so many acronyms and what do they
mean? Won't my program officer be annoyed if I call with questions?
Greg Anderson, a program officer in the NSF's Division of Earth
Sciences, will share his thoughts on all these questions and more
(spoiler on the last question: No. Really. Promise.) This Webinar is
aimed primarily at early career folks, but established PIs are welcome
and may pick up some useful tips as well.
You may contact Andy Frassetto (andyf<at>iris.edu) with any inquiries.
