27 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program Program Solicitation Proposals to EHR due July 21, 2009 CAREER website Eligibility information Program description, especially integrated research and education plan Award amounts Proposal preparation Project Summary Intellectual Merit and Broader Impact Project Description Advisory Board Integrated Research and Education plan
28 Start EARLY Get acquainted with FASTLANE ( Read the Program Solicitation and follow the guidelines. Spend a few minutes skimming the proposal and familiarizing yourself with its sections. Contact a program officer to discuss your idea; this provides useful information and often helps you to refine your idea; it may also prevent you from applying to the wrong program ( is best). Become an NSF reviewer. The next slide is important. Getting Started
29 SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND It is not enough to write a good proposal. Sometimes it is not enough to write a competitive proposal. A highly competitive proposal always moves forward. An interesting high-risk or highly innovative project always gets our attention. A safe proposal is in limbo. Minimize jargon. Reviewers read 8 to 10 proposals each, so don t test their patience. Ideology minus Data = Annoying Ideology plus Data = Stronger. Next step: Make it interesting. No project is an island. All STEM education projects should have a strong evaluation plan and a strong Advisory Board. Do a literature review with a purpose. Provide details on methodolody (collection, analysis)
30 TRIAGE PRECIS Panel Procedure Default is not to discuss a proposal that receives ratings of Poor or Fair and none higher than Good. Discuss proposal if anyone wants to do so. Primary panelist summarizes proposal for benefit of rest of panel DISCUSSION Primary and secondary panelists, in turn, comment on proposal. All panelists then welcome to join in discussion Primary panelist (Scribe) writes panel summary of discussion OVERALL PANEL RANKING Panel places proposal into one of three discrete funding categories: Highly Competitive / Competitive / Not Competitive Proposals also ranked in analog fashion within category

38 NSF Merit Review Criteria Intellectual merit of proposed activity Important to advancing knowledge and understanding within its own field or across different fields? Qualifications of proposer? Sufficient access to resources? Proposed activity well conceived and organized? Suggest and explore creative, original, or potentially transformative concepts?
39 Transformative Research Transformative Research involves ideas, discoveries, or tools that radically change our understanding of an important existing scientific or engineering concept or educational practice or leads to the creation of a new paradigm or field of science, engineering, or education. Such research challenges current understanding or provides pathways to new frontiers. Transformative research results often do not fit within established models or theories and may initially be unexpected or difficult to interpret: Their transformative nature and utility might not be recognized until years later. Characteristics of transformative research are that it: Challenges conventional wisdom; Leads to unexpected insights that enable new technologies or methodologies; or Redefines the boundaries of science, engineering, or education.
40 NSF Merit Review Criteria Broader impacts Promote teaching, training, and learning? Broaden the participation of underrepresented groups? Enhance the infrastructure for research and education? Disseminate results broadly? Benefit society?
41 What makes a proposal competitive? Do your homework Read the solicitation (more than once) Familiarize yourself with the NSF website, especially the Grant Proposal Guide (GPG) and FastLane Talk to NSF Program Officers about your ideas Ground the proposed project in relevant and appropriate literature Check the NSF Awards Search Page Getting appropriate expertise on advisory board (relevant high profile folks are great) Advisory board can be evaluators Budget for external evaluators (Don t be and do everything.)
42 Necessary conditions for competitive proposals STEM content clearly articulated (include examples!) Research design and methodology sufficiently discussed Strong arguments for importance of the problem Integration of research and education Local and global dissemination
43 Communicate and write clearly More Suggestions Research objectives and questions Focused STEM content Research design and methodology Plans for carrying out the proposed work Links to relevant literatures Addressing the two merit review criteria Ask colleagues to read and critique your proposal (presubmission review)
44 Follow the rules Musts Margins, font size, 15-page limit Allowances for letters of collaboration and other supporting documents Budgetary limitations Project Summary/Project Description Grant Proposal Guidelines: Make sure you are not in violation or risk RWR. GPG: Provision for postdocs GPG: Two-month (and beyond) rule
45 Common reasons for proposals rated noncompetitive Data collection strategies are typically well-articulated, but data analyses plans are thin. Not enough information given about the mathematical content. Relevant literatures not cited. Expertise not represented.
