This workshop aids researchers and practitioners in submitting proposals to federal agencies, such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Institute of Museum and Libraries Services (IMLS). The workshop focuses on: 1) funding programs and opportunities; 2) proposal review process and merit review criteria; 3) characteristics of competitive proposals; and 4) common weaknesses of proposals. The workshop is targeted toward those who have not yet been awarded a federal grant as well as anyone seeking to improve their proposal writing skills. In addition, the National Park Service will discuss mechanisms for conduction research in parks, in-kind support, helping PIs understand science priorities of parks.
