Special Report: How to Write a Winning NSF Proposal (a $199 value)

Like most other grantors, the NSF has specific instructions on how you should develop, write and submit your proposals. Perhaps the most important elements that the agency wants to see in your proposals are the merit-review criteria developed by the National Science Board (NSB).

This executive report has been designed to help you better understand — and more successfully complete — the Project Summary, Intellectual Merit and Broader Impact portions of your NSF grant proposal.  Learn More.

On-Demand Webinar: Building a Better NSF Proposal (a $197 value)

All NSF proposals are evaluated using the two National Science Board (NSB)-approved merit review criteria: intellectual merit and the broader impacts.

Proposers can have difficulty understanding how to frame their goals and activities in light of these criteria. Beyond this base requirement, the summary page helps to get the reviewers on your side. They most often turn first to the project summary page. It should clearly and briefly communicate and set the stage for what is to come. Learn more.

Special Report: Prepare a More Competitive MRI Grant Application (a $129 value)

Competition for NSF’s Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) grants is tougher than ever. The complex proposal format is significantly different from the standard research grant application, and you need every increment of improvement that you can get. If you don’t address those key differences in your MRI application, your funding request will be shot down before it even gets started.

The MRI program supports acquiring and developing instruments that are too expensive or not appropriate for other NSF programs. It is intended to raise the overall quality of research and promote the integration of research and education. Learn more.

Special Report: Communicate Your Broader Impacts Successfully (a $129 value)

The concept of “broader impacts” is tricky for most researchers to understand — much less communicate it effectively in their NSF grant proposals.

The agency even admits that broader impacts is a tough concept for researchers. “Experience shows that while most proposers have little difficulty responding to the criterion relating to intellectual merit, many proposers have difficulty understanding how to frame the broader impacts of the activities they propose to undertake.”

On-Demand Webinar: NSF Criteria: Successfully Communicating Broader Impacts (a $197 value)

When you submit a proposal to the National Science Foundation, reviewers evaluate it using two criteria that all proposals must clearly address. The first is “Intellectual Merit,” which most researchers have little difficulty substantiating. However, the second criterion—requiring PIs to frame the broader impacts of the proposed research—has proven to be problematic for many.

This Webinar will empower you with step-by-step tools to successfully identify, distill and communicate your project’s broader impacts to the NSF reviewers, improving your funding chances. Our NSF funding expert will also discuss how to incorporate ideas and examples of “broader impact” beyond those cited in NSF’s 2007 publication, Merit Review Impacts Criterion: Representative Activities.  Learn More.
