American Competitiveness Initiative ACI doubles federal investment in key
agencies that support basic research in physical sciences and engineering.
Over the next 10 years, the Federal
agencies impacted are NSF, DOE Science, and NIST.
ACI includes three broad components: Research in physical sciences and engineering
(including 12 specific goals with 7 related to NSF) Research and Development tax incentives Education and workforce

Don’t promise too much, too little
Unsubmitted proposals are not funded
Submit early
Proposal Tips
20
Tell a Good Story!
• It should be written for a wide audience• Well written• Mix in…
– A good part mystery (we should not know early that the butler did it)
– A tad autobiographical (get your chair to “help”)
– Healthy amounts of history and reference book– A good journalistic style– Two parts coffee table book– A smidgeon of science fiction

FAQ (05-027) www.nsf.gov/eng/cbet/presentations/ (T. Anderson minority_faculty_workshop_31jul06.ppt and G. Prentice)
22
How to Contact your PD •Email
•Phone call– Prepare questions in advance… listen too!
– Be professional, but be yourself
•Personal Visit– By appointment (one stop shopping) – During related activity (panel, workshop)– Show presentation slides on laptop, emphasize Q&A
• White paper / pre-proposal (2 pg max)• Meet at workshops, conferences• Invite for campus seminar• Volunteer to be panel reviewer For CBET: www.nsf.gov/eng/cbet/reviewer/
23
The most important things I’ve learned from panelists this year
• Proposals should be hypothesis-driven
• Broader impacts, fonts, etc. are taken seriously
• Need modeling/experiment connection
• Make life easier for panelists (they are not journal reviewers)
24
Is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for tenure…
Although it can seem like it is necessary …at least a badge of honor.
Instead, NSF and your University hope it is a good jump start to your career.
Hence, since you only have three chances, the answer to the question…
The CAREER Award
25
Should I wait to “establish myself” before submitting a CAREER Proposal?
NO!!
Should I ask the PD, for a SGER or two first, to get more preliminary results?
NO!!Get in as soon as you can so you can get that “jump start” when it is needed.

Cyber-Enabled Discovery & Innovation (CDI)
“Broaden the Nation’s capability for innovation by developing a new generation of computationally based
discovery concepts and tools to deal with complex, data-rich, and interacting systems.”
CDI investments areas include: Interacting elements – improve the understanding of complex
systems Computational experimentation – allows insight into
complex, real-world systems Knowledge extraction – data mining, visualization, utilization
of basic concepts from computation, geometry and topology Virtual environments – permit collaboration among diverse
populations Education in computational discovery – integrate
techniques into the basic education of all scientists and engineers

NSF Important Message 130
The term “transformative research” is being used to describe a range of endeavors which promise extraordinary outcomes, such as revolutionizing entire disciplines; creating entirely new fields; or disrupting accepted theories and perspectives – in other words [those] with potential to change the way we address challenges in science, engineering, and innovation. -- NSB

Advice on SOTL(Scholarship on Teaching & Learning)
Decide your level of activity, but do some
CAREER panels impressed with existing activities with something new
Sound authentic and realistic
Ensure chair is aware of your plans (post-tenure?)
Focus on an area you enjoyLearning styles, tech communications, experiential
learning, multidisciplinary design, K-12 outreach, . . .
IRB approval probably necessary for assessment
Get help from Pros and your students
Publish in ASEE J, Wikis, Conferences, …
