• Identify funding sources of researchers in your area.
• Search NSF’s web site: www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/– Check out research programs, read what research
topics they support• Consider contacting an appropriate program
officers– Be prepared to answer the question: “What is your
research objective?” (25 words or less)

Should I Meet My Program Officer?
• Why? What do you intend to gain?• Doesn’t hurt. Probably doesn’t help. • Or is your goal to schmooze? (It doesn’t help)
– Don’t even think about taking your program officer to lunch
• If you decide to meet:– Be prepared to listen (you don’t learn by talking)– Don’t ask questions answered in program guide– Remember, the program officer is not the panel– You can get a free trip to NSF (more later)

Advice from Ken and Mike:
1. Solicit anecdotal experiences from awardees.
2. Find the funding sources of people in your field by looking at acknowledgements in journal articles.
3. The list of funded projects will give you the best feel for the scope of the program (www.nsf.gov/awardsearch).
4. It is YOUR responsibility to determine which NSF program is best fit for your proposal.
