February 2, 2018 webinar on applying for NSF Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants. Featuring Colleen Fitzgerald, National Science Foundation, and successful faculty mentor and student applicants Jeff Good (University at Buffalo) and Megan Figueroa (University of Arizona).

Webinar: NSF Funding Through a First-Generation Lens

This webinar is a collaboration between the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the First-Generation Access & Equity committee in the LSA. The Directors for the Linguistics and Dynamic Language Infrastructure – Documenting Endangered Language Programs at NSF, Dr. Rachel M. Theodore and Dr. Jorge Valdés Kroff, will lead a panel discussion on the NSF application process with graduate students and junior faculty in mind. While the focus will be on the first-generation experience, we believe the whole linguistics community will be able to benefit from this event. Some of the topics that will be covered include support in the grant-writing process, exposing the “hidden” curriculum, aligning proposals with target audiences, grant cycle timelines, and different funding mechanisms.


Webinar: Applying for NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowships
Are you about to receive, or have you recently been awarded, a Ph.D? Are you interested in independent, advanced training under the direction of a sponsor? Looking to launch a career in academia, industry, the private sector, or government? Then the LSA's August 6 webinar on "Applying for NSF Postdoctroral Research Fellowships" will be of interest!

The webinar took place on August 6, 2018 and included a presentation on the aims of the program, a program description, elements of the proposals, review criteria, and strategies for putting together a competitive proposal. There will also be a discussion on program-specific considerations like submitting proposals as an individual or solicitation-specific criterion used by reviewers.

The webinar is likely to be of interest to current doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, and potential faculty sponsors so both faculty and students are welcome.
