Prospective Grantees
Welcome to the NSF ECR:Core and ECR:BCSER Prospective Grantee Community!
This community supports researchers who are interested in developing a proposal for ECR:Core and ECR:BCSER from concept to proposal.
Step 1.
I have a research idea. How do I know if ECR:Core or ECR:BCSER is the right fit?
I know that I would like to submit a proposal to either ECR:Core or ECR:BCSER and would like to learn more about the different solicitations.
Step 2.
I would like to develop a one-pager to submit to NSF.
I am ready to start working on a proposal and would like to share a one-pager with an NSF program officer for review.
Step 3.
I would like to get better connected with NSF.
I would like resources on getting better connected with NSF and program officers (i.e., talking to program officers, joining a review panel, etc.).
Step 4a.
I submitted my proposal and received the award - now what? (Congratulations!)
My proposal was successful and I would like some resources to help me as I start to work on this project.
Step 4b.
I submitted my proposal and didn’t receive the award - now what?
My proposal was declined and I would like some resources to work through the feedback I received.
