The first NSF Regional Grants Seminar was hosted by the University of
Washington and was well received. I recommend these for achieving a broad
understanding of how NSF operates and for the "helpful hints" that one
gets for writing and submitting proposals. After the Seminar I prepared a
"helpful hints" sheet that I dispense to potential PIs along with the
application forms. Most have found it to be useful.

thanks,
