The Build and Broaden Program in the Directorate of Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences will host its second annual program symposium on November 2 from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm EST.
Build and Broaden aims to broaden participation in the social, behavioral and economic sciences through support for research, training and research infrastructure at minority-serving institutions, including partnerships with and among those institutions.
The event will provide information about the program funding, best practices, submission preparation, post submissions and budgets. In addition, a diverse group of PIs will discuss how NSF funding supports the implementation of their projects. Finally, there will be a conversation about additional funding opportunities throughout the foundation.
