Follow the Money: How to Successfully Budget and complete Budget Forms for NSF ATE Proposals

 

 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  common errors that can be avoided
