Many of us wish we had someone
to help us navigate the complex road to submitting a successful grant proposal. For those planning to submit a proposal to
the National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education Program (NSF
ATE), help is now available from the Mentor-Connect project. For example, information on how to
successfully budget and complete budget forms for NSF ATE proposals is being
shared by the Mentor-Connect project (NSF DUE #1204463). With featured guest, Dr. Elizabeth Teles, NSF
Program Officer (former co-lead of the NSF ATE Program), members of the
Mentor-Connect project team provided a technical assistance webinar on this
topic on June 11, 2013. Dr. Teles provided tips, errors to avoid, and answered
questions. The webinar covered:
Ø
information to enter into each budget category
of the NSF budget form
Ø
how prepare a budget justification
Ø
the mutual dependence between the budget and
project description
Ø
