Description
The 2020 Jumpstart summer workshops offered by the NSF HSI National STEM Resource Hub provide basic insight and instruction on how to compete for NSF funding (https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2019/nsf19540/nsf19540.htm).
The workshop content prepares attendees to submit applications to the NSF HSI Initiative solicitation NSF 19‐540 that seeks to increase grant support for STEM Education in Hispanic Serving Institutions (due date third Wednesday in September, annually). During the event, participants will have a unique opportunity to seek advice from successful grant applicants, to direct questions to experienced and knowledgeable grant awardees, and to analyze a sample proposal to learn the elements of a grant proposal.
