John Cavazos Dept of Computer & Information Sciences University of Delaware Strategies for Writing a Successful NSF Career Proposal

“Submit your first Career proposal as early as possible …”

“Submit your first Career proposal as early as possible … so you can get your first rejection quickly!” Note: Few get award in first try!

Basic Advice 10 year vision; 5 year plan Convince reviewer Novel ideas and inventions Research is important You are right person Taking a risk; not safe

Things not to do Big implementation project Incremental over previous work

Wrong vs Right Words Be careful using words like: Implement, increment, develop Instead, use Words Like: Invent, create, novel

Advice from a PM Visit your PM Discuss your ideas Get to know your PM Your research may be appropriate to another PM They can tell if idea needs work. PMs are very busy; be persistent

Ask for help Get people to review your proposal An ex-PM One or more colleagues The more experienced the better Ask a friend University editing services
