Developing and Writing NSF Proposals:
A Virtual Workshop for 2YC Geoscience Faculty  

• Are you interested in writing a grant proposal for a STEM education project? 

• Do you want to learn more about NSF grant opportunities that are suitable for two-year colleges (2YCs) as the lead institution? 

• Would you like support in developing, writing, and submitting an NSF proposal? 

• Do you want to expand your professional network and find collaborators for your ideas? 

This workshop aims to build the capacity of 2YC geoscience faculty to develop, write, and submit National Science Foundation (NSF) proposals. It will support and mentor 2YC geoscience faculty to develop grant proposals for submission to relevant programs in the NSF Division of Undergraduate Education (e.g., Innovations in Two-Year College STEM Education (ITYC), Improving Undergradute STEM Education (IUSE), NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (S-STEM), and the Directorate for Geosciences. The workshop will:

1. Introduce workshop participants to NSF grant opportunities that are particularly suitable for 2YCs as the lead institution; 

2. Support 2YC faculty in developing, writing, and submitting NSF proposals, thus increasing the number of 2YC proposal submissions to NSF; and 

3. Provide a space for 2YC faculty to build a community of peer collaborators for single or multi-institutional grants, conference proposals, and planning grants.
