The National Science Foundation and the University of San Diego will be
holding a one-day workshop on Wednesday, January 19, 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 and Engineering and the Office of Integrative
Activities 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 Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and
Justice on the University of San Diego Campus. There is no registration fee
for this workshop but preregistration is required. You can register on the
NSF web site at
http://www.nsf.gov/events/registrations_forms/index.cfm?wkshop_id=32
<http://www.nsf.gov/events/registrations_forms/index.cfm?wkshop_id=32&cntn_i
d=117579> &cntn_id=117579. Please register by Tuesday, January 11, 2011.
Registration is limited, so please register early. We hope to see you there.
