NSF Proposal Development Course from STELAR

Are you thinking of writing an NSF grant proposal? 

The STEM Learning and Research Center (STELAR) is offering a course on this very topic.  STELAR's course is geared towards the NSF ITEST program, but most of the information should apply to any type of educational NSF grant.

STELAR’s ITEST Proposal Development Course is an online, self-paced, and resource-rich course in which novice NSF proposal writers will develop a full proposal for the ITEST program to be submitted for the August 13th, 2021 solicitation deadline.   

Informed by STELAR’s expertise in supporting and encouraging those new to the program, the course has been developed and piloted by our staff and colleagues over the past four years. The goal of the course is to highlight key aspects of writing a competitive and complete response to the NSF ITEST Program Solicitation.  Each module will cover a different topic as listed below: 

• Orientation
