Good morning. 

You will find copied below an invitation, agenda, and registration form
for a National Science Foundation Day workshop to be held at Cal Poly
Pomona on Tuesday, November 18, 2008.  Please feel free to forward this
message to anyone at your institution who might benefit from the
workshop.  Registrations should be made by emailing the information
requested on the registration form below to me or by faxing or mailing
the form as indicated on the form.  Preregistration with NSF is
required. Please note, however, that the registration fee must be paid
to Cal Poly Pomona through their web site at 
http://www.csupomona.edu/nsfday.  While this workshop is primarily
intended for junior faculty and others beginning or restarting a
research career, we believe that those more experienced with NSF would
benefit from attending as well.  Thank you.

The National Science Foundation and Cal Poly Pomona will be holding a
one-day workshop on Tuesday, November 18, 2008. This workshop is
primarily designed for researchers and educators less experienced in
proposing to the NSF; however, more experienced proposers and NSF
grantees may well find the workshop useful and informative.  It is our
hope that events such as this will stimulate new interest in NSF
programs at institutions that have not been among our traditional
customers, as well as at premier research institutions. We want to
extend an invitation to you and to anyone else at your institution who
would like to attend this workshop and learn more about the NSF and its
programs.  

The workshop will provide an overview of the Foundation, its mission,
priorities, and budget.  It will cover the NSF proposal and merit review
process and NSF programs that cut across disciplines.  Additionally,
representatives from the seven NSF directorates and the Office of
International Science and Engineering will make presentations on their
programs and will also be available informally and in breakout sessions
for discussions of potential research proposals.  

The National Science Foundation is charged with keeping our nation's
science and engineering enterprise healthy, dynamic, and relevant and
with advancing science, mathematics, engineering, and technology
education at all levels from pre-K through postdoctoral.  

The workshop will be held at the Bronco Student Center. Preregistration
is required. Please register by Monday, November 10, 2008. A
registration form is enclosed. You can register by sending the requested
information by email to gwilson at nsf.gov or by faxing or mailing the
registration as indicated on the form.  Registration is limited, so
please register early. There is a $35.00 registration fee for this
workshop. Payment must be made, and additional event information is
available, via the Cal Poly workshop web site at 
www.csupomona.edu/nsfday.   You must register with both the NSF form and
via the Cal Poly Pomona web site.  We hope to see you there. 

                                                Sincerely,
