15 2. Plan the Event Heed Timelines: Proposal & Award Process
16 2. Plan the Event Timelines: Center Proposals
17 3. Balance the Menu Attend to Proposal Review Criteria Intellectual Merit (~12-13 pages) Advancement and contribution of knowledge in its own field or across different disciplines? Creative and original concepts? Well-conceived and organized proposal? Qualifications of the PI? Broader Impacts (~2-3 pages) Advancement of discovery and understanding while promoting teaching, training, & learning? Broad dissemination to enhance scientific and technological understanding, e.g., outreach? Participation of underrepresented groups? Educational Impact, including undergraduate & K-12?
18 3. Balance the Menu Example: NCS specific review criteria Integrative Added Value and Transformative Potential cross temporal/spatial scales, levels of abstraction, levels of analysis, and/or disciplinary and methodological approaches? deep, complementary, synergistic expertise? research theme(s) addressed and advanced in significant way? bold, potentially risky, well beyond typical disciplinary approach? compelling integrative vision, build on the state of the art, sound plans for interdisciplinary collaboration, integrative research? general advances in theory or methods, or significant technological innovations? broadly accessible, high-quality resources that will be useful to the research community at large? unique collaborative research experiences for students and early-career researchers? interdisciplinary workforce for cognitive science, neuroscience, and/or neuroengineering? Applicability and relative weighting of these considerations will vary depending on the nature of the activities being proposed and the proposal class
19 3. Balance the Menu Example: ERC Specific Review Criteria Three Fundamental Questions What is the compelling new idea and how does it relate to national needs? Why is a center necessary to tackle the idea? How will the ERC's infrastructure integrate and implement research, workforce development, and innovation ecosystem development efforts to achieve its vision? Specific Review Criteria Integrated Strategic Plans for Research, Workforce Development, Innovation Leadership: expertise in research, workforce development, and innovation Diversity Director: experienced in activities proven to create culture of inclusion Research: impact, benchmarking, partnerships, system-at-scale Workforce Development: literature-based, inclusive, assessment Innovation: scale-able, sustainable, community Infrastructure: plan for community of inclusion
20 3. Balance the Menu Example: NRT Specific Review Criteria Develop innovative approaches to graduate education for MS and/or PhD students Expand/enhance professional development Encourage strategic collaborations with stakeholders (e.g., university-industry partnerships) Rely on existing evidence of effective practices in STEM education (evidence-based approaches) Generate new knowledge that promotes transformative improvements in graduate education
21 Innovative Concept Well-Conceived Research Plan 4. Prepare the Proposal Competitive Proposal Ingredients Unique, potentially transformative Interdisciplinary, hypothesis driven Significant impact to a real problem Bold advance of discovery, understanding Synergistic: whole > sum of parts Demonstrate knowledge of field (> 50 refs) Demonstrate competence (prior work) Preliminary data (to overcome skepticism) Balanced detail in proposed work plan Critical approach with contingency plans Reasonable scope & budget Compelling Broader Impacts Activities: aligned with research area SMART, leverage institutional resources Assessment: summative, formative, external Engage under-represented groups scalably Include K-12 & undergraduate education & outreach, public outreach, letters of collabor. Get all of this done in the last two pages
22 4. Prepare the Proposal Example: Goal for T-shaped graduates The T-shaped Professional Ready for life-long learning teamwork innovation entrepreneurship building a smarter planet Jim Spohrer, IBM labs
23 Innovation 4. Prepare the Proposal Example: Workforce Development Plan Workforce Development Activity REU Internship Modules Team Project Translational Skills Entrepreneurship Systems analysis Analytical Communication Teamwork Ethics Leadership Professional Skills 2016 D.K.
