| Collaboration Event: SUNY ESF/Syracuse University Faculty Research Meeting and NSF Grants Conference Join the Offices of Research at SUNY ESF and Syracuse University on Monday, Nov. 14 for a lunch and facilitated discussion between our Vice Presidents for Research on supporting research collaborations between our institutions, then stay for a National Science Foundation (NSF) Watch Party! After lunch, we will be showing two NSF virtual grants conference sessions as research development training opportunities: - Proposal Preparation: NSF staff will review how and when to prepare a proposal, including discussion of what constitutes a project and a proposal of high quality. Presenters will discuss do’s and don’ts, recent procedural changes and various sources of NSF programmatic opportunities.
- Merit Review Process: Program Officers will discuss the philosophy of merit review and how it works, as well as ad hoc and multi-tiered reviews. Presenters will also cover the role of the program officer, timing of proposal submissions, reviewer selection, release of reviewer comments and conflict-of-interest issues related to merit review.
Submit your registration by Friday, Nov. 4. | | | | | |
