RIO's 2023 NSF CAREER Commit-to-Submit Writing Program

RIO Webinars & Workshops

Interested in applying for a Packard Fellowship or a Keck Research Grant? Faculty are invited to a conversation on the David and Lucile Packard Foundation Fellowships and the W.M. Keck Foundation Research Grants. Previous Packard Fellows and Keck grant recipients will share their successful experiences and be available to answer questions. CU Boulder's Office of Advancement will also provide information about what types of projects each foundation is looking to fund, and how to put together a successful application.

Please note that the Packard Fellowships and Keck Research Grants are limited submission funding opportunities, requiring an internal competition to determine the applicant(s) that will submit proposals to each foundation. This workshop will be a great opportunity to learn about how to put together a competitive proposal in advance of the internal competition deadline for each opportunity.

Broader impacts are one of two criterion used by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to evaluate every grant proposal. In addition, increasingly broader and societal impacts are becoming more common in funders across government, industry and philanthropy. As a PI, describing the broader social impact of your research and achieving specific educational outcomes can be a challenge. Luckily, CU Boulder is overflowing with resources to help you with broader impacts plans, efforts and activities! Come join us for a session on broader and societal impacts with experts and to meet our wonderful Broader Impacts Providers from across campus! Free boxed lunches will be available!
