 The Research Community  EVERY proposal (44,000!) receives no fewer than 3 reviews, often ~6 reviews  Written reviews  Panels review and recommend  The Program Directors Recommend  Research Futures  Balance the Portfolio

I. What is the intellectual merit of the proposed activity? II. What are the broader impacts of the proposed activity? At NSF, these are considered equally important merit criteria

 Timely and compelling idea; transformative research  Sound justification for the work  Simple hypothesis(es)  Clear, succinct experimental design and realistic scope of work  Preliminary data or record of publication  Clear management plan  Goals for future work  Written and proofread carefully

How Many Iterations?

How Many Awards/Principal Investigator at any One Time?

 Probably at least 2 nd resubmission  One of the <20%  3 years duration/grant  months’ salary  6X more senior personnel and students supported vs postdoctoral associates  4X as many men as women proposers  Equal success
