Waterfront Place Hotel, Morgantown

The National Science Foundation (NSF), West Virginia Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (WVEPSCoR) and West Virginia University Research Corporation are sponsoring a program to provide an introduction to and overview of the National Science Foundation, its mission, priorities and budget. The session also will cover the NSF proposal and merit review process.

Representatives from the seven NSF directorates (Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Biological Sciences; Engineering; Geosciences; Computer and Information Science and Engineering; Education and Human Resources; and Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences) and the Office of International Science and Engineering will make presentations about their programs and will also be available individually and in breakout sessions for more specific discussions of potential research proposals.

The cost of the workshop is $40, payable at the door; however, advance registration is required. For a copy of the agenda and a registration form, contact Ginny Painter at ginny.painter@wvepscor.org.
