Abstract
This clinic will review best practices for preparing and submitting an NSF grant proposal. We will discuss what to do before you start writing, how to tackle the different required documents, ideas for making your proposal stand out, follow-up once the proposal is submitted, and what to do if your proposal is or is not selected for funding.


Most of the content is general and could be applied to grant applications in response to calls for proposals from other agencies and foundations. This clinic is geared towards early career scientists who have never submitted a grant proposal or have only submitted a few. However, participants with all levels of experience are welcome to attend and share their personal best practices.

To get the most out of this clinic, you will receive suggestions of material to prepare before the clinic. The degree of advanced preparation is up to the attendee. All attendees are welcome, even if they are not able to prepare in advance. Preparation details will be sent out once clinic attendees are assigned.

About the clinic leader: Dr. Nicole Gasparini has submitted numerous (~25) NSF proposals and has had an ~50% success in funding rate. She has served on ~10 NSF panels; she has not kept track of the number of proposals she has reviewed. She spent 2024 as a visiting NSF program officer in the Division of Earth Sciences. She will provide insights from all sides of the proposal process.
