For Fall 2018, the National Science Foundation (NSF) will live stream their New Orleans Grants Conference for those unable to attend in person. The conference is scheduled for November 8th and 9th from 9 am to 6 pm ET both days.
The conference is primarily designed to give new faculty key insights into a wide range of current issues at NSF, including proposal preparation and merit review basics, award management topics, and other important information. Highlights include:
- New programs and initiatives
- Future directions and strategies to national science policy
- Proposal preparation
- NSF’s merit review process
- Conflict of interest policies
If interested in the live stream, note the following:
- Registration is required and is available at https://nsfgrantsconferences.com/fall-2018-virtual-registration/.
- The Virtual Agenda is available at https://nsfgrantsconferences.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/VirtualAgenda-1.pdf.
- Session speaker bios are available at https://nsfgrantsconferences.com/speakers/.
If you plan to submit a proposal in the next year, it may be worthwhile attending a few of the sessions virtually (especially the merit review session).
