NSF GRANT WRITING WORKSHOP (WEBINAR)
 
   The workshop will first present data from an analysis of the engineering proposals submitted in the National Science Foundation’s Course, Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement (CCLI) Phase 1 competition in 2005 and 2006. The data identify the most common strengths and weaknesses cited by the review panels in discussing these proposals. Following this, the workshop will explore a systematic process for converting an idea into a competitive proposal. The interactive Think-Share-Report-Learn (TSRL) format will enable participants to develop an understanding of the data and to identify approaches for enhancing these strengths and dealing with these weaknesses as they develop their ideas. Led by the Engineering Program Directors of the NSF Division of Undergraduate Education, the workshop will use a series of interactive exercises in which participants first reflect on their own current understanding of the issue (Think), then share these ideas in small groups (Share), report to the entire group (Report), and finally hear an expert`s opinion (Learn). Local facilitators will engage the WSU participants. Anyone interested in developing competitive grant proposals for course, curriculum, or laboratory improvement is encouraged to attend this 3-hr workshop.
