Enhancing the Quality of NSF Proposals from Accredited Engineering and Computer Science Programs of Minority Serving Colleges and Universities

工程-其他（59）该项目为少数民族服务学院和大学（MSIs）认可的工程和计算机科学项目的教职员工提供两个赠款写作研讨会的支持。讲习班的目标是提高国家科学基金会提案的质量，主要是这些机构提交的教育发展工作提案。通过与NSF项目负责人的结构化和非正式互动，研讨会讨论了处理更广泛影响和项目评估的提案写作策略和方法。 这些努力旨在增加这些机构提交的提案数量，参与机构之间的合作提案数量以及提交提案的成功率。参加讲习班也有望增加来自这些机构的教师在国家科学基金会审查过程中的人数。研讨会结束后，参与者将与校园内的同事分享他们在提案写作方面的知识和见解，以扩大影响。 由公共政策研究所规划和评估办公室的一名专家领导的评估工作正在利用讲习班后的态度调查以及随后关于提案提交和成功率的后续调查来确定讲习班的有效性。

Engineering - Other (59)This project is providing support for two grant writing workshops for faculty members from accredited engineering and computer science programs at minority serving colleges and universities (MSIs). The goal of the workshops is to enhance the quality of NSF proposals, primarily proposals for education development efforts, submitted by these institutions. The workshops, through structured and informal interactions with NSF program directors, addresses proposal writing strategies and approaches for dealing with broader impacts and project evaluation. These efforts are intended to increase the number of proposal submitted by these institutions, the number of collaborative proposals among the participating institutions, and the success rate of the submitted proposals. Participation in the workshops also is expected to increase the number of faculty members from these institutions in the NSF review process. After the workshops, the participants are sharing their knowledge and insights on proposal writing with colleagues on their campuses in order to widen the impact. Evaluation efforts, led by an expert from the planning and assessment office at the PI's institution, are using post-workshop attitude surveys and a later follow-up survey on proposal submission and success rates to determine the effectiveness of the workshops.
