  • It seems people want to not critique.
  • Mathematical biology needs validation.

Highly compettitive proposal:

  1. MATH
  2. BIOLOGY
  3. INTEGRATION
  4. VALIDATION
  5. BROADER IMPACTS

Reviews

Broader impacts

  • scientific literacy, wonen , education, minorities
  • economic status improvemnt of US

Additional criteria?

  • solicitation
  • DCL
  • home at NSF

How to write competitive proposal

  • READ solicitation (additional requirements)
  • Webinars
  • send most creative idea
  • identify transformative potential and impact, change the paradigm
  • logical, well organized, well illustrated, easily readable (figures must be readable)
  • maybe prepare data management paln, post doc mentoring and grad student mentoring plan.
  • Intellectual Merit
    • thorough well referenced background
    • place proposal clearly in the context (stota, unsolved questions)
    • convincin description of proposed research (hypothesis, preliminary results, approach)
    • bottle necks or deadends and offer alternatives (what if its a method we are proposing?)
    • demonstrate expertise and capabilities (include standard letters confirming collaboration hwre necessarry)
    • formulate compelling conclusions (what will change in teh field if you suceed)
    • lastly write the project summary highlighting teh advances you plan to make
  • Broader Impacts
    • what does NSF mean?
    • consider what your project contributes inherently (integration of research with education, diversity ehancement, broader scientoifc ans social impacts, technological relevance)
    • additional focused broader activities, outreach, broadening participation, of underpresented groups, reserach experiences of undergraduates or teachers
    • do not present a laundry list, choose judicioulsy ans develop broader aspects in depth
    • demonstrate commitment, and depth
    • working with undergraduates
    • 1 to 2 pages, and add budget justification
    • xxxx
    • original and creative, not ncessarily of the instituition
    • research acitvities, or even complementary to research
    • inclusion, engagement, STEM education, societal well-being,
    • name journals where papers will be published
  • submit to the appropriate division and program
    • do nsf awardsearch, use advanced search with key words www.nsf.gov/awardsearch
    • talk to program officers
    • suggest reviewers
    • revise based on panel reviews

what is this? apparently this program must exist in the first place

Is seeking a devlop algorithm neroimaging data to classify patients. ENIGMA Innovation: good

Inntellectual Merit: Combination of TDA and ?. Linking might be missing.

streangths: application of TDA is innovative. There is a datasite, levergiung data. large datasize, global

weakness: missing link "how to apply TDA to real problem". hetergenous data, demographic variability. How will TDA be used to analyze this data. Previous work not mentioned.

Educational impact: Diagnosis and treatment for public health. camn improve quality of health.

Weakness: no specific plan More specific plan for health policy will be useful

  • Mathematical innovation: maybe, can be better
  • Biological innovation: yes
  • Integation: yes

Proposal Panel Summary

  • Real time data is confused with digital twins.
  • Need to make sure to highlight how that is applied
  • State of the art
  • Definition of digital twins
