Gain a competitive edge with the National Science Foundation (NSF)

Learn how to prepare winning proposals for the NSF in four weeks. Webcast live from the NSF, each presentation will have a lengthy Q&A period built in to allow faculty to ask questions of the program officers. Although these sessions are provided by the Transforming Undergraduate Education in STEM (TUES) program, advice and assistance will be helpful across the NSF for a variety of proposals.

Mark your calendars now, and RSVP to orsp@lmu.edu. Lunch will be provided.
