If you are interested in attending this CAREER Proposal Writing
Workshop, I suggest you act quickly. It fills up fast.
It's possible that it doesn't matter when you apply as long as you meet
the deadline, but that wasn't clear to me from the website mentioned in
the announcement.

Subject: 2018 NSF CAREER Proposal Writing Workshop

From: career <[log in to unmask]>
Sponsored by the NSF Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing
Innovation, the 2018 NSF CAREER Proposal Writing Workshop will be held
March 25-27, 2018 in Charlotte, NC. The workshop will be co-hosted by
the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Kansas State University,
and Texas A&M University. This workshop will cover the basics of CAREER
proposal writing and review. It will include presentations by NSF
Program Officers and recent CAREER awardees, a mock panel review using
actual awarded and declined CAREER proposals, and a feedback session
where small groups will review and discuss the draft CAREER proposal
project summaries that each participant prepared. Participants will also
have an opportunity to meet with current and previous NSF Program
Officers. The workshop will be hands-on, requiring that all
participants read and review six CAREER proposals, actively participate
in the mock panel reviews, which are designed as a realistic simulation
of actual CAREER proposal review panels.
Data from previous workshops suggest that the success rate of the
participants is considerably higher than the overall NSF average.
Correspondingly, this workshop attracts far more applicants than we can
admit (approximately 200 participants will be selected to attend this
workshop), so early application is strongly recommended. To provide
sufficient time for interactions among participants and facilitators,
mealtime activities will be an important activity on the agenda. A
workshop fee of $250 will be charged to help defray the cost of workshop
meals and materials.
The application deadline is January 8, 2018. The application procedure
and tentative agenda for the workshop can be found at:
http://www.ksu.edu/career. Please note that every participant is
required to submit a project summary of their CAREER proposal and an NSF
style biosketch as part of the application package.
