NSF CAREER Proposal Development

The Office of Research Advancement and Partnership (ORAP) is beginning enrollment into its eight week proposal development program for NSF CAREER proposals. We offer this to all faculty at all locations and it is FREE! This course is not open to postdoctoral fellows or graduate students. The course will meet every Wednesday, starting on February 15 at 11:30 a.m. in Lighty 280.

Contact Emily Brashear (emily.brashear@wsu.edu) for a synopsis of the program and a registration form. Enrollment is limited, so please contact us as soon as possible to reserve your spot in the course. The program is relatively intense. It is designed to not only assist you with developing a stellar CAREER proposal, but also to provide you with grantsmanship skills applicable to other grant mechanisms.

For those that participated in last year’s session, the session this year will go beyond the last year’s scope. There will be even more focus on how to distinguish your proposal from the myriad of other proposals that reviewers will see. There will also be more emphasis on integrating the scientific merit with broader impacts, and writing these components will be done simultaneously with guidance from the ORAP group. Accordingly, we believe you will find additional value and we encourage you to enroll.

Skype for Business is available for those interested in attending off the Pullman campus.
