Abstract: An overview of the National Science Foundation (NSF) and federal funding opportunities will be discussed in the presentation. Synopsis of ENG/CBET, Fluid Dynamics, CAREER, ISS, ERI, fellowships, and other programs will be discussed during this open exchange of Q&A. The discussion will transition to a partnership activity with the International Space Station (ISS), the Department of Energy, and other partnerships with U.S. and international agencies and how to get funding from these partnership opportunities. The talk will highlight a few of the Foundation wide programs in Diversity and Inclusion. Finally, some recommendations will be made on how to success in obtaining federal funding for research.
