Crafting Competitive Proposals for NSF Programs Related to Engineering and Computing Education

The goal of this workshop is to provide guidance to participants on engineering and computing education funding opportunities at NSF and provide insights on preparing competitive proposals. This will be accomplished through a series of engaging activities including (i) interactive presentations by NSF program directors; (ii) a lively mock proposal review session in which participants work in small groups on a real NSF proposal previously emailed to registrants; (iii) an interactive question and answer sessionin which participants will have the opportunity to hear from a panel of current NSF grantees and (iv) conversations with NSF program directors about funding opportunities. The workshop will describe current funding opportunities related to improving engineering education. Guidance will be provided on how to write persuasive and competitive proposals. Participants will have the opportunity to network with peers and connect with NSF program directors.
