- Gain insight on NSF programs, funding trends and long-range strategy.
- Leverage your funding and program strategic vision.
- Discover free and low-cost resources on campus that advance your scientific program goals and enhance your broader impacts.
- Get practical experience on creating a compelling message, writing to review panels and making the most of your budget.
- Learn how to develop effective collaborations.
- Gain a better understanding of education, broader impacts and diversity requirements.
- Network with other successful faculty and programs at ASU.
Research Administrative staff and other support staff may register to attend, but will be required to volunteer for a minimum of one hour during the event. Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers may register to attend, but these programs/fellowships will NOT be the focus of the clinic.
