  2. About the NSF • NSF Vision: Advancing discovery, innovation and education beyond the frontiers of current knowledge and empowering future generations in science and engineering

  3. President’s Plan for NSF Funding

  4. # NSF Competitive Proposals, Awards and Funding Rate

  5. Finding Funding Opportunities • NSF website www.nsf.gov • Grants.gov www.grants.gov

  6. Finding Funding Opportunities Find Funding http://www.nsf.gov/funding/ NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5257&org=NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5517&org=NSF Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Talent Expansion Program (STEP) http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5488&org=NSF Transforming Undergraduate Education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (TUES) (formerly CCLI) http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5741&org=NSF Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5518&org=NSF

  7. Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) • Objectives and General Features of RUI • support high-quality research by faculty members of predominantly undergraduate institutions • strengthen the research environment in academic departments that are oriented primarily toward undergraduate instruction • promote the integration of research and education

  8. Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) • Must include an RUI Impact Statement that describes the expected effects of the proposed research on the research and educational environment of the institution • Awards for faculty research projects will usually be for a period of 3 years, whereas awards for shared-use major instrumentation are usually for a period of 1 to 2 years. In recent years, the annual award size of individual investigator RUI projects has ranged from approximately $10,000 to over $100,000.

  9. Finding Funding Opportunities • Active Funding Opportunities by Due Date http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_list.jsp?org=NSF&ord=date

  10. Finding Funding Opportunities • NSF website www.nsf.gov • Grants.gov www.grants.gov

  11. Finding Funding Opportunities • Search • Browse by Agency • Email Subscription

  12. Preparing an NSF Proposal • Have a good idea • Select an RFP or Program for your idea. • Read the RFP or Program Announcement • Contact a program officer with questions about the RFP or program or to ask about the fit between your idea and the program.

  13. Preparing an NSF Proposal • Carefully read the RFP or Program Announcement • Read it again • Respond to everything in the RFP and in the order of the proposal – make it easy for the reviewer. • Follow all the requirements in the Grant Proposal Guide.
