The NSF Research Proposal mGuide teaches research administrators the skills they’ll need to assist a Principal Investigator (PI) in preparing, writing, and submitting a full research proposal to the National Science Foundation (NSF). This mGuide will focus on the process of submitting an NSF proposal and highlight the submission guidelines and common errors so you can avoid a Return without Review. The NSF has carefully created guidelines, processes, and systems to assist the proposal development process—knowing these guidelines inside and out will help ensure that you put your PI in the best possible position to be funded. This interactive mGuide is designed to be completed in 1-2 hours.
At the end of this mGuide, you’ll be able to:
- Interpret requirements of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Program Description.
- Employ project management skills in developing a Full Research Proposal.
- Complete an NSF Collaborative Full Research Proposal using Research.gov.
- Explain how internal policies and procedures affect the development of a Full Research Proposal.
- Recognize common errors that may contribute to a Full Research Proposal being returned.
- Apply NSF proposal development skills to other NSF Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOA).
