NSF Foundation's Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate at Hispanic Serving Institutions

Presenter: Program Officer Dr. Chinonye Nnakwe Whitley

Program Officers from the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) will describe opportunities in the Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Program (S-STEM) and the Advancing Innovation and Impact in Undergraduate STEM Education at Two-Year Institutions of Higher Education Program Description. The S-STEM program has a solicitation to guide proposal submission. The Program Description, however, is more of an open call for submissions that will benefit undergraduate STEM education at community colleges.

Fay Cobb Payton, Computer and Network Systems, Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate, National Science Foundation.

This talk will discuss an overview of the NSF/CISE Directorate funding opportunities. Details on different NSF funding mechanisms will also be covered. Attendees are free to ask questions to engage in an open dialogue.

The NSF HSI STEM Resource Hub hosts grantsmanship webinars to support grant writing efforts for those planning on writing their first grant or engaged in writing a grant for submission. The Fall 2021 Grant Writer Webinar Series features speakers and panelists from the National Science Foundation for sharing important information for writing a competitive NSF grant. Dr. Martha Desmond and Dr. Delia Valles are the hosts for this series. The HSI STEM Hub recommends participation in these webinars if you are currently writing a proposal or are interested in grant writing.

Should you resubmit that rejected proposal? Yes! This workshop will demystify the NSF merit review process, provide effective strategies for responding to reviews, and help you develop a plan to revise and strengthen your proposal for resubmission.

Gain insight into what makes a good research question. Using tools such as a gap and SWOT analysis, we will develop the tools necessary to identify your grant’s core research topic and then hone a set of clear and grant-appropriate research questions.

This 90 minute workshop is offered by Dr. Karen Mabry, an HSI faculty member. Dr. Mabry will bring her experience as an NSF Program Officer who has been tasked with reviewing annual reports. The session will include an overview of the annual report content followed by a Q&A where workshop attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions about report preparation. A breakout session will allow attendees to network and share project information with other HSI awardees.

The Fall 2021 NSF Virtual Grants Conference is designed to give new faculty, researchers, and administrators key insights into a wide range of current issues at NSF. NSF program officers will be providing up-to-date information about specific funding opportunities and answering attendee questions.
