Title: Navigating NSF: Funding Opportunities, Proposal Preparation, and the Merit Review Process
Author: Dr. Irina Dolinskaya
Location: College Hall (CH) Room 101
Date: Wednesday, September 27
Time: 1:15pm – 2:15pm
Abstract: The first part of this talk will give an overview of Dr. Dolinskaya’s research on adaptive modeling and solution approaches with applications to humanitarian logistics, optimal vessel navigation and electric vehicle routing. The second part of the presentation will focus on the funding opportunities offered by the Division of Civil, Mechanical & Manufacturing Innovation within the disciplinary programs and through crosscutting initiatives across the National Science Foundation. This presentation will describe opportunities that are relevant to the operation research, industrial engineering, and dynamics and controls communities. Operation Engineering (OE) and Dynamics, Controls and Systems Diagnostics (DCSD) programs, as well as programs targeted toward junior investigators will be discussed. The talk will also describe guidelines for proposal preparation and NSF’s Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts criteria.
Bio: Dr. Irina Dolinskaya is an associate program director at the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the Division of Civil, Mechanical & Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI).
