the Dissertation Improvement Programs in the Social Sciences are as
follows:

 Although these application deadlines are several months away, it is
probably best to attend a workshop closer to your application deadline.

This workshop is designed to help graduate students prepare for
the NSF Dissertation Improvement Grants for Graduate Students.  In this
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.)
