Event Description

Have you had an EDU Core Research (ECR) proposal declined? Join the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) for tips and techniques for improving and resubmitting a previously declined ECR proposal. 

NSF program officers will share information about (a) NSF funding rates, (b) common reasons for declinations, (c) how to separate useful reviewer feedback from idiosyncratic feedback, and (d) how to prepare your proposal for resubmission. Facilitators will also share tips for dealing with the painful initial sting of declination, soliciting input from the cognizant program officer, and serving on NSF review panels to learn more about NSF’s merit review processes. 

Who should attend? STEM education researchers interested in the ECR:Core solicitation, especially those who plan to resubmit a previously declined proposal.
