Events to Help You Develop Your Plans
Departmental BPC Plan Events
The Departmental BPC Plan serves to coordinate BPC activities within a department and provide context for the activities proposed by PIs in their Project BPC Plan.
Project BPC Plan Events
A Project BPC Plan is submitted to NSF as a supplementary document that details the proposed BPC activities of the PIs. A Project BPC Plan may reference and link to one or more Departmental BPC Plans.
Upcoming Departmental BPC Plan Events:
Departmental BPC Plan Writing Workshop
We are offering two free virtual Departmental BPC Plan Events in Summer 2020. Visit this page for more details.
- Based on BPC Plan Workshop participants’ feedback, we are adding a Workshop Day 3 on August 13, 2020, which will be another opportunity for participants to receive feedback on their plans. All July and August BPC Plan Workshop participants are invited to attend Day 3, and have received information about Day 3 via email.
- If you are interested in attending Day 3 but did not attend the July or August BPC Plan Workshops, email bpcinfo@cra.org to determine your eligibility.
