Here is a first draft of the Summary Page for our proposal. You can take what you need from this to contact people for letters of support. When you have a letter, please send a pdf to me. I am going to add an “broader impact” part to the summary, but it is not really necessary for sending to people. When I have the broader impact, I will post it on FASTLANE and send copies to you, but I will not change this website.
NSF has a required format (listed below) for the Biosketch, with strict 2-page limit. I attach a recent one of mine in .pdf and .tex for people to copy if they wish.
f. Biographical Sketch(es)
(i) Senior Personnel
A biographical sketch (limited to two pages) is required for each individual identified as senior project personnel. (See GPG Exhibit II-7 for the definitions of Senior Personnel.) The following information must be provided in the order and format specified below. Do not submit personal information such as home address; home telephone, fax, or cell phone numbers; home e-mail address; date of birth; citizenship; drivers’ license numbers; marital status; personal hobbies; and the like. Such personal information is irrelevant to the merits of the proposal. If such information is included, NSF will make every effort to prevent unauthorized access to such material, but the Foundation is not responsible or in any way liable for the release of such material. (See also GPG Chapter III.G).
(a) Professional Preparation
A list of the individual’s undergraduate and graduate education and postdoctoral training as indicated below: Undergraduate Institution(s) Major Degree & Year Graduate Institution(s) Major Degree & Year Postdoctoral Institution(s) Area Inclusive Dates (years)
(b) Appointments
A list, in reverse chronological order, of all the individual’s academic/professional appointments beginning with the current appointment.
© Publications
A list of: (i) up to five publications most closely related to the proposed project; and (ii) up to five other significant publications, whether or not related to the proposed project. Each publication identified must include the names of all authors (in the same sequence in which they appear in the publication), the article and journal title, book title, volume number, page numbers, and year of publication. If the document is available electronically, the website address also should be identified. For unpublished manuscripts, list only those submitted or accepted for publication (along with most likely date of publication). Patents, copyrights and software systems developed may be substituted for publications. Additional lists of publications, invited lectures, etc., must not be included.
(d) Synergistic Activities
A list of up to five examples that demonstrate the broader impact of the individual’s professional and scholarly activities that focuses on the integration and transfer of knowledge as well as its creation. Examples could include, among others: innovations in teaching and training (e.g., development of curricular materials and pedagogical methods); contributions to the science of learning; development and/or refinement of research tools; computation methodologies, and algorithms for problem-solving; development of databases to support research and education; broadening the participation of groups underrepresented in science, mathematics, engineering and technology; and service to the scientific and engineering community outside of the individual’s immediate organization.
(e) Collaborators & Other Affiliations
The information in section (e) above of the biographical sketch is used to help identify potential conflicts or the selection of reviewers. See GPG Exhibit II-2 for additional information on potential reviewer conflicts.
