The NSF CAREER Proposal mGuide is designed to teach you the skills you need to assist a Principal Investigator in preparing, writing, and submitting a CAREER proposal to the NSF. This mGuide walks you through each step of the CAREER Proposal process, from determining PI eligibility, to drafting budgets and justifications, and even best practices post submission. Not only will you learn how to complete a CAREER proposal, but you will also learn proposal and PI management tips that transcend CAREER Proposals. The mGuide is interactive, and can be completed in 1-2 hours.
