SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: NSF Proposal
Review Process.
OMB Control No.: 3145–0060.
Proposed Project Proposal Evaluation
Process
The National Science Foundation
(NSF) is an independent Federal agency
created by the National Science
Foundation Act of 1950, as amended (42
U.S.C. 1861–75). The Act states the
purpose of the NSF is ‘‘to promote the
progress of science; [and] to advance the
national health, prosperity, and
welfare’’ by supporting research and
education in all fields of science and
engineering.’’
From those first days, NSF has had a
unique place in the Federal
Government: It is responsible for the
overall health of science and

engineering across all disciplines. In
contrast, other Federal agencies support
research focused on specific missions
such as health or defense. The
Foundation also is committed to
ensuring the nation’s supply of
scientists, engineers, and science and
engineering educators.
The Foundation fulfills this
responsibility by initiating and
supporting merit-selected research and
education projects in all the scientific
and engineering disciplines. It does this
through grants and cooperative
agreements to more than 2,000 colleges,
universities, K–12 school systems,
businesses, informal science
organizations and other research
institutions throughout the U.S. The
Foundation accounts for about onefourth of Federal support to academic
institutions for basic research.
The Foundation relies heavily on the
advice and assistance of external
advisory committees, ad-hoc proposal
reviewers, and to other experts to ensure
that the Foundation is able to reach fair
and knowledgeable judgments. These
scientists and educators come from
colleges and universities, nonprofit
research and education organizations,
industry, and other Government
agencies.
In making its decisions on proposals,
the counsel of these merit reviewers has
proven invaluable to the Foundation in
the identification of meritorious
projects.
Review of proposals may involve
large panel sessions, small groups, use
of individuals, ad hoc ‘‘mail reviews’’
by three or more reviewers, or some
combination of these peer review
methods. Proposals are reviewed
carefully by scientists or engineers who
are expert in the particular field
represented by the proposal. About 50%
are reviewed exclusively by panels of
reviewers who gather, usually in
Arlington, VA, to discuss their advice as
well as to deliver it. About 35% are
reviewed first by mail reviewers expert
in the particular field, then by panels,
usually of persons with more diverse
expertise, who help the NSF decide
among proposals from multiple fields or
sub-fields. Finally, about 15% are
reviewed exclusively by mail.
Use of the Information
The information collected on the
proposal evaluation forms is used by the
Foundation in applying the following
criteria when awarding or declining
proposals submitted to the Agency: (1)
What is the intellectual merit of the
proposed activity? (2) What are the
broader impacts of the proposed
activity?
