AAS 2025: Proposal Writing Workshop: Using NASA ROSES as an Example

Abstract of workshops: The success of scientists depends upon their ability to obtain funding. One of the largest challenges is to create strong proposals. Using Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) from NASA as a template, this workshop will focus on teaching the audience key points to communicating science through successful proposal writing. As a result of this session, participants will be able to understand the proposal writing, reviewing, and selection process for federally funded research. This will also help those who have previously submitted proposals improve their performance. How to understand one’s values and maintain those throughout this process will also be focused on. Story tellers will add unique and important lessons learned to the session.

Session organizer: Christina Richey (SETI Institute). Dr. Richey is the Director for partnerships and Business Development at the SETI Institute.  Dr. Richey is PI of the NASA SMD award on proposal writing workshops and trains researchers within the community on best practices for proposal submission and review.
