More on NSF CAREER proposals
Okay, I hate my proposal a little less now, but it was very difficult to put together. I am writing about a new topic so there was a lot of background to go through. Also, these proposals are comprehensive so you need to include research and teaching as well, but you are limited to the same 15 pages as always. AND the money has shrunk to such low levels that the yearly amount can barely fund 1 student and supplies, hardly a "Career." But it is worth it for the prestige of winning at any rate.
I have been chugging away on this thing for about 3 weeks, minus a nasty bout with a cold. It is due in a few more, wish me luck!!

Good luck! My adviser applied for that last year, but no luck. I think it was her 2nd time trying, too.
Good luck, good luck, good luck!
You're right, it's a big feather in your cap if you can get it. . . and I bet you can!
It will be a huge inspiration for those who follow your blog if you can get it. I'll keep my fingers crossed! I am submitting a manuscript hopefully tomorrow, so hopefully we can both get some good news in the coming months!
Dear authors. Join in all the words of gratitude, expressed in the reviews on the site. Your work - priceless! :)
