How to Write a Successful Grant Application
Dr. Stephen Steadman
Thu Jan 31, 01-02:00pm, 26-414, Kolker Room
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Many researchers writing grant applications make serious errors despite having outstanding ideas that are well worth support by federal agencies. These include sending the proposal to the wrong program, missing deadlines for proposal submission, and submitting incomplete or poorly written proposals. A description of the proposal process will be presented with information to help avoid these and other errors, with particular emphasis on funding in the physical sciences by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. Dr. Steadman has been a Program Director/Manager in both agencies. Please send email request by Tuesday, Jan. 29 for a copy of handout materials. Video conferencing of presentation may be arranged -- please contact S. Steadman.

Tour of the MIT-Bates Electron Linear Accelerator Center
Dr. Stephen Steadman, Prof. Robert Redwine
Tue Jan 29, 01-04:30pm, Bldg 26 Loading dock
Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Signup by: 28-Jan-2008
Limited to 25 participants.
Single session event
The MIT Bates Linear Accelerator Center, supported primarily by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science and located in Middleton, provides up to 1 GeV beams of electrons. The facility is now being used in new ways as an interdisciplinary center for research and development in accelerator science and technology and for development of new detectors for nuclear and particle physics. A brief general description of the facility and its research will be followed by a tour of the facility. (It's impressive -- see the web link below for details.) Transportation to Bates will be provided; signup needed to have ride available. (The facility is in Middleton, about 22 miles from the MIT Cambridge campus.)
