Reimagining Your NSF Proposal workshop 2026

Securing NSF funding is highly competitive, and many strong proposals are declined due to limited program resources or specific reviewer concerns. Fortunately, NSF encourages resubmissions and provides detailed feedback to help investigators improve their proposals. National data show that resubmitted proposals—especially those that thoughtfully address reviewer critiques—have significantly higher success rates than first-time submissions.

This in-person interactive workshop Reimaging Your NSF Proposal, aims to support faculty refine and resubmit their NSF proposal with extra support and guidance.
