The second National Science Foundation Regional Grants Conference of fiscal year 2008 will be held in Providence, RI and hosted by the University of Rhode Island on April 7-8, 2008, with optional FastLane/Grants.gov sessions on the April 6.
Key representatives from the National Science Foundation as well as your colleagues — faculty, researchers and grant administrators — representing colleges and universities from around the US will participate.
This two-day conference is a must, especially for new faculty, researchers, educators, and administrators who want to gain key insight into a wide range of current issues at NSF including the state of current funding; new and current policies and procedures; and pertinent administrative issues. NSF program officers representing each NSF directorate will be on hand to provide up-to-date information about specific funding opportunities and answer your questions.
Highlights include:
FastLane and Grants.gov can both be used to prepare and submit proposals to NSF. This session is designed for research administrators who are new to both systems or are in need of a refresher. The NSF/FastLane and Grants.gov websites will be explored showing attendees how to find funding opportunities and other information on both sites. Major differences between preparing a FastLane proposal and Grants.gov application will be highlighted. Topics will cover pre-submission, submission, and post-award activities as they apply to research administrators. In addition, these sessions will review the research administrator's role in the following FastLane processes: proposal status, proposal update, budget revision, project report submission, and award modifications.
