Second-Chance Mentoring  (Part 1)
The National Science Foundation’s Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Program encourages prospective grantees to rework and resubmit proposals that were declined when initially submitted. Mentor-Connect supports this proposal re-submission process by offering Second-Chance Mentoring.


Eligible colleges include:
(1) those whose first proposal to the Small Grants for Institutions New to ATE was declined, and
(2) those who successfully completed a Small Grants for Institutions New to ATE project and subsequently submitted a proposal for a full ATE Project that was declined.

This service is available at no cost to the colleges accepted for Second-Chance Mentoring.

This on-line application may be submitted at any time within two years after the date on which a proposal was declined and by April 1 of the year in which the revised proposal will be submitted. (This due date will be extended to May 1 if the proposal was declined during the month of April.)  

Mentor-Connect will provide mentoring by email and telephone conferences for proposals that meet the following criteria:

• The purpose of the original proposal is still valid and it remains essentially the same in the revised proposal.

• The college administration is willing to resubmit the proposal.

• The PI, a Co-PI or another member of the senior personnel in the declined proposal will serve as the PI of the revised proposal.

•      The proposal received reviewer ratings that are mainly “Good” or higher.

The application will include a copy of the declined proposal, as originally submitted, and the reviewer comments generated during the proposal review process.

Mentoring for reworking/resubmitting a proposal will consist of approximately fifteen hours of support from a mentor who will:  
• Study the declined proposal and the reviewer comments.

• Discuss proposed revisions with the PI, Co-PIs, and grant writer.

• Be available for questions by phone and email.

• Provide advice as the proposal is revised.

• Review the submission-ready proposal, no later than two weeks before the deadline.


Those receiving mentoring services will be expected to participate fully in this activity the evaluation of this activity by providing Mentor-Connect with copies of the new proposal and the panel reviews and by participating in surveys and/or individual interviews.
