SUMMARY:Write Winning NSF Grant Proposals with Dr. John D. Robertson
DESCRIPTION:This widely acclaimed seminar comprehensively addresses both practical and conceptual aspects that are important to proposal-writing success. It is designed for faculty members and administrative staff who have had some exposure to writing grant applications. This seminar will focus on writing an NSF grant proposal\, with specific strategies geared toward the NSF application. Topics covered include idea development\, maximizing programmatic relevance to the targeted agency\, selecting the correct grant mechanism in which to package and present the idea\, use of the review process to inform writing of the application\, and how to write for reviewers. In addition\, strategies for writing each part of the application are presented\, along with examples that illustrate how each section should be crafted. Attendees are taught to write with a linear progression of logic that leads reviewers through their applications – i.e.\, that makes them want to read the proposal. A copy of The Grant Application Writer’s Workbook\, which has been written to complement and extend the seminar\, will be provided to each attendee. \nJohn D. RobertsonPh.D.Dr. John D.
