The National Science Foundation and Texas State University-San Marcos will
be holding an “NSF Day” workshop on Friday, February 18, 2011. This workshop
is primarily designed for researchers and educators less experienced in
proposing to the NSF; however, more experienced proposers and NSF grantees
may well find the workshop useful and informative.  It is our hope that
events such as this will stimulate new interest in NSF programs at
institutions that have not been among our traditional customers, as well as
at premier research institutions. We want to extend an invitation to you and
to anyone else at your institution who would like to attend this workshop
and learn more about the NSF and its programs.

The workshop will provide an overview of the Foundation, its mission,
priorities, and budget.  It will cover the NSF proposal and merit review
process and NSF programs that cut across disciplines.  Additionally,
representatives from the seven NSF directorates and the Office of
International Science will make presentations on their programs and will
also be available informally and in breakout sessions for discussions of
potential research proposals.

The National Science Foundation is charged with keeping our nation’s science
and engineering enterprise healthy, dynamic, and relevant and with advancing
science, mathematics, engineering, and technology education at all levels
from pre-K through postdoctoral.

The workshop will be held at the LBJ Student Center on the San Marcos
campus. There is no registration fee for this workshop, but preregistration
is required. Please register by Friday, February 11, 2011. You can register
through the NSF event announcement page for this workshop at *
