workshop you will learn:

  • the submission process (Duke SPS system & NSF Fastlane, deadlines, etc.)
  • how to get a Fastlane account, if you don't already have one (mandatory for submission)
  • tips on how to use Fastlane
  • NSF guidelines for this opportunity
  • feedback from a peer who has gone through the process
  • plenty of time for Q&A (use of human subjects, budgets, etc.)
