National Science Foundation

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency which funds research and education in most fields of science and engineering, receiving approximately 40,000 proposals each year. TTU receives most of its awards from NSF. Presenters will provide information on the components and format of a NSF proposal, most common NSF funding programs, current NSF merit review criteria, and other related topics. This is the session to go to if you are interested in applying to NSF.
