In this session, National Science Foundation (NSF) program director Dr. Kathryn Jablokow and five faculty awardees of early career research grants from the NSF, DARPA, and NASA will share their experiences with their respective programs. Participants will have the chance to ask questions of the previous awardees, and then develop, share, and discuss their own ideas for future grant proposals. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will have knowledge and feedback to support their development of quality proposals.
