NSF Day at NCSU

=====================================================================
UPDATE: 1/8/2012

The registration fee for this NSF day is $40. I imagine this is so that the organizers and the host, the College of Engineering, can cover their costs. If you wish to attend, and there are no departmental resources for this activity, I can fund your attendance. Please contact me at tom_birkland@ncsu.edu for details.

Colleagues,

Welcome back! The first item to share for 2012 is news about "NSF day at NC State," on February 28--see the note below from Liana Fryer.

Please note that Tom Baerwald, of the Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, will be attending. I worked briefly with Tom at NSF, and he's extremely knowledgeable about funding and about the direction NSF is heading in the social and behavioral sciences. In short, this event is not just for STEM researchers! Please do consider attending if you are interested in NSF funding.

NC State is hosting an NSF Day at the McKimmon Center on Feb 28 for researchers all across NC.  NSF Days are geared toward those who are inexperienced with writing NSF proposals and those interested in hearing from an NSF directorate representative.

The program starts at 8:30am, and representatives from each directorate will be conducting concurrent sessions from 1:30-3pm, including Thomas J. Baerwald of the Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences.

You can read all about it at:

The reception afterwards will be a great opportunity to network with colleagues from across the campus and beyond.
