[Iefac.list] Announcement for 2011 NSF CAREER Proposal Writing Workshop

[career]

Sponsored by NSF, the 2011 NSF CAREER Proposal Writing Workshop will be held
on April 4 and 5, 2011, hosted by the University of Connecticut.  The
workshop venue will be the Sheraton Hotel at the Bradley International
Airport (BDL), near Hartford, CT. 

 

This Workshop will provide future CAREER proposal submitters with proposal
review experience and interactions with NSF program directors and recent NSF
CAREER awardees. Major activities of the Workshop include presentations by
NSF program directors on the key fundamentals of proposal writing,
presentations by recent CAREER awardees on their experiences and best
practices, mock panel reviews of successful and unsuccessful CAREER
proposals, and panel reviews of project summaries of the attendees' own
CAREER proposals. Similar workshops held in the past have typically
attracted twice as many applicants as each workshop could accommodate, and
previous attendees have enjoyed significantly higher proposal success rates,
both with their CAREER and other proposals. Thus, it is expected that this
Workshop will help the attendees write more competitive proposals and
subsequently, improve the quality of their research.

 

The application deadline is February 15, 2011. Application procedure and
tentative agenda for the workshop can be found at

Workshop organizers: 

 

Robert Gao, University of Connecticut
