Presenter: Dr. Greg Anderson, National Science Foundation, EarthScope 
Program Officer

Summary: I know I need to make my proposals to the National Science 
Foundation (NSF) as competitive as possible, but how do I do that? How 
do I find out what programs are out there? How do I know what a given 
program is looking for? Where would be the best "home" for my proposal? 
How do I articulate my ideas clearly, powerfully, and succinctly? What 
"counts" as broader impacts, and how do I describe them convincingly? 
How do I learn what my fellow PIs think makes a strong proposal? GPG, 
DCL, REU, why so many acronyms and what do they mean? Won't my program 
officer be annoyed if I call with questions? Greg Anderson, a program 
officer in the NSF's Division of Earth Sciences, will share his thoughts 
on all these questions and more (spoiler on the last question: No. 
Really. Promise.) This Webinar is aimed primarily at early career folks, 
but established PIs are welcome and may pick up some useful tips as well.
