Question: What do the vast majority of UCSB's GRFP winners have in common? Answer: Over 90% participated in the GRFP Success Series. Improve your chances of winning by attending our writing workshop that breaks down the two GRFP statements by not only explaining what evaluators look for but also providing you with a framework to write these statements.
Unlike most research fellowships that require detailed proposals that go on for pages, the GRFP requires two short statements that collectively tally five pages. With so much on the line and so little space to address the application's review criteria, you need to know exactly what goes into these different statements and what evaluators look for in a successful statement.
This NSF GRFP Mini Success Series workshop will break down the two GRFP statements by not only explaining what evaluators look for but also providing you with a framework to write these statements. While we cannot tell you what to write about, we can inform you âon how to write about your work. This information is essential as the NSF is âprimed to reward applications in ways unique to its ideology. You cannot merely rely on your success from another application format because the NSF is interested in funding more than great research: you and your work must serve a greater good. Let us walk you through this style of writing and prepare you to craft a winning set of statements.
âWhen:â âTuesday, âMay 14th, 12-1:30 P.M.
Where: âMaterials Research Lab (MRL) Building, Room 2053
