The Workshop for Broadening Participation in the Economics Profession: Proposal Writing and Grants Management will be held on Saturday, October 28, 2017 at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center in Midtown, Atlanta, Georgia.
The meeting is aimed at bringing together research-active faculty, university administrators and NSF Economics Program staff to discuss and develop approaches for increasing the number of awards earned by African American and Hispanic/Latino faculty. The day will be divided in two parts. The first half will be instructions - general principles of cultivating research topics that are in the faculty member's wheelhouse and crafting proposals that both further the proposer's research and directly addresses the goals of a given solicitation. The second half of the day will be active engagement integrating research and proposal design, with newcomers to the grants process matched with seasoned researchers who have been successful at earning NSF grants.
