Slide 18: nsf merit review criteria
- Criteria include:
- What is the intellectual merit and quality of the proposed activity?
- What are the broader impacts of the proposed activity?
Slide 19: what is the intellectual merit of the proposed activity?
- Potential Considerations:
- How important is the proposed activity to advancing knowledge and understanding within its own field or across different fields?
- How well qualified is the proposer (individual or team) to conduct the project? (If appropriate, the reviewer will comment on the quality of prior work.)
- To what extent does the proposed activity suggest and explore creative and original concepts?
- How well conceived and organized is the proposed activity?
- Is there sufficient access to resources?
Slide 20: what are the broader impacts of the proposed activity?
- Potential Considerations:
- How well does the activity advance discovery and understanding while promoting teaching, training and learning?
- How well does the activity broaden the participation of underrepresented groups (e.g., gender, ethnicity, disability, geographic, etc.)?
- To what extent will it enhance the infrastructure for research and education, such as facilities, instrumentation, networks and partnerships?
- Will the results be disseminated broadly to enhance scientific and technological understanding?
- What may be the benefits of the proposed activity to society?
Slide 21: tips for successful proposal writing
- Determine if your project is relevant to the program
- Get in touch with the Program Director
- Program Director:
