Care is taken to ensure that reviewers accept no conflicts of absorption with the proposal. In addition, Affairs Officers may admission comments from armpit visits afore advising final action on proposals. Senior NSF agents added assay recommendations for awards. A flowchart that depicts the absolute NSF angle and accolade action (and associated timeline) is included in PAPPG Exhibit III-1.
A absolute description of the Foundation’s arete assay action is accessible on the NSF website at: https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/merit_review/.
Proposers should additionally be acquainted of amount strategies that are capital to the accomplishment of NSF’s mission, as articulate in Architecture the Future: Beforehand in Discovery and Accession – NSF Cardinal Plan for Fiscal Years (FY) 2018 – 2022. These strategies are chip in the affairs planning and accomplishing process, of which angle assay is one part. NSF’s mission is decidedly well-implemented through the affiliation of assay and apprenticeship and adorning accord in NSF programs, projects, and activities.
One of the cardinal objectives in abutment of NSF’s mission is to beforehand affiliation of assay and apprenticeship through the programs, projects, and activities it supports at bookish and assay institutions. These institutions charge recruit, train, and adapt a assorted STEM workforce to beforehand the frontiers of science and participate in the U.S. technology-based economy. NSF’s accession to the civic accession ecosystem is to accommodate cutting-edge assay beneath the advice of the Nation’s best artistic scientists and engineers. NSF additionally supports development of a able science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce by beforehand in architecture the ability that informs improvements in STEM teaching and learning.
NSF’s mission calls for the adorning of opportunities and accretion accord of groups, institutions, and geographic regions that are underrepresented in STEM disciplines, which is capital to the bloom and animation of science and engineering. NSF is committed to this assumption of assortment and deems it axial to the programs, projects, and activities it considers and supports.
The Civic Science Foundation strives to beforehand in a able-bodied and assorted portfolio of projects that creates new ability and enables breakthroughs in compassionate beyond all areas of science and engineering assay and education. To analyze which projects to support, NSF relies on a arete assay action that incorporates appliance of both the abstruse aspects of a proposed action and its abeyant to accord added broadly to advancing NSF’s mission “to beforehand the beforehand of science; to beforehand the civic health, prosperity, and welfare; to defended the civic defense; and for added purposes.” NSF makes every accomplishment to conduct a fair, competitive, cellophane arete assay action for the addition of projects.
1. Arete Assay Principles
These attempt are to be accustomed due action by PIs and organizations back advancing proposals and managing projects, by reviewers back account and evaluating proposals, and by NSF affairs agents back free whether or not to acclaim proposals for allotment and while administering awards. Accustomed that NSF is the primary federal bureau answerable with adorning and acknowledging arete in basal assay and education, the afterward three attempt apply:
With account to the third principle, alike if appraisal of Broader Impacts outcomes for authentic projects is done at an aggregated level, PIs are accepted to be answerable for accustomed out the activities declared in the adjourned project. Thus, alone projects should accommodate acutely declared goals, specific descriptions of the activities that the PI intends to do, and a plan in abode to certificate the outputs of those activities.
These three arete assay attempt accommodate the base for the arete assay criteria, as able-bodied as a ambience aural which the users of the belief can bigger accept their intent.
2. Arete Assay Criteria
All NSF proposals are evaluated through use of the two Civic Science Board accustomed arete assay criteria. In some instances, however, NSF will administer added belief as adapted to highlight the specific objectives of assertive programs and activities.
The two arete assay belief are listed below. Both belief are to be accustomed abounding appliance during the assay and controlling processes; anniversary archetype is all-important but neither, by itself, is sufficient. Therefore, proposers charge absolutely abode both criteria. (PAPPG Chapter II.C.2.d(i). contains added advice for use by proposers in development of the Action Description area of the proposal). Reviewers are acerb encouraged to assay the criteria, including PAPPG Chapter II.C.2.d(i), above-mentioned to the assay of a proposal.
When evaluating NSF proposals, reviewers will be asked to accede what the proposers appetite to do, why they appetite to do it, how they plan to do it, how they will apperceive if they succeed, and what allowances could accumulate if the action is successful. These issues administer both to the abstruse aspects of the angle and the way in which the action may achieve broader contributions. To that end, reviewers will be asked to appraise all proposals adjoin two criteria:
The afterward elements should be brash in the assay for both criteria:
Broader impacts may be able through the assay itself, through the activities that are anon accompanying to specific assay projects, or through activities that are authentic by, but are commutual to, the project. NSF ethics the beforehand of authentic ability and activities that accord to accomplishment of societally accordant outcomes. Such outcomes include, but are not bound to: abounding accord of women, bodies with disabilities, and underrepresented minorities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM); bigger STEM apprenticeship and drillmaster development at any level; added accessible authentic articulacy and accessible assurance with science and technology; bigger abundance of individuals in society; development of a diverse, globally aggressive STEM workforce; added partnerships amid academia, industry, and others; bigger civic security; added bread-and-butter competitiveness of the United States; and added basement for assay and education.
Proposers are reminded that reviewers will additionally be asked to assay the Abstracts Administering Plan and the Postdoctoral Researcher Mentoring Plan, as appropriate.
Additional Abode Specific Assay Criteria
Proposals submitted to this antagonism will be evaluated based on their amount in advancing the authentic base of science and accession policy, as able-bodied as their appulse on the assay of important aspects of the biomedical assay enterprise. Both NIH and NSF assay belief will be used. Back responding to the NIH assay criteria, reviewers will accommodate an all-embracing NIH appulse account to reflect their appraisal of the likelihood for the action to apply a sustained, able admission on the assay field(s) involved, in appliance of the afterward bristles denticulate assay criteria, and added assay criteria. Reviewers will accede anniversary of the assay belief beneath in the assurance of authentic merit. A angle does not charge to be able in all categories to be brash acceptable to accept above authentic impact.
The bristles amount assay belief for NIH are:
Significance: Does the action abode an important botheration or a analytical barrier to beforehand in the field? Is the above-mentioned assay that serves as the key abutment for the proposed action rigorous? If the aims of the action are achieved, how will authentic knowledge, abstruse capability, and/or analytic convenance be improved? How will acknowledged achievement of the aims change the concepts, methods, technologies, treatments, services, or bactericide interventions that drive this field?

Accept the board presented able affairs to abode accordant biological variables, such as sex, or for studies that accommodate bearcat animals or animal subjects?
If the action involves animal accommodation and/or NIH-defined analytic research, are the affairs to address:
Environment: Will the authentic ambiance in which the assignment will be done accord to the anticipation of success? Are the institutional support, equipment, and added concrete assets accessible to the board able for the action proposed? Will the action account from different appearance of the authentic environment, answerable populations, or collaborative arrangements?
Protections for Animal Subjects: For assay that involves animal accommodation but does not absorb one of the categories of assay that are absolved beneath 45 CFR Allotment 46, the board will appraise the absolution for captivation of animal accommodation and the proposed protections from assay accident apropos to their accord according to the afterward bristles assay criteria: 1) accident to subjects, 2) adequacy of aegis adjoin risks, 3) abeyant allowances to the accommodation and others, 4) accent of the ability to be gained, and 5) abstracts and assurance ecology for analytic trials.
For assay that involves animal accommodation and meets the belief for one or added of the categories of assay that are absolved beneath 45 CFR Allotment 46, the board will evaluate: 1) the absolution for the exemption, 2) animal accommodation captivation and characteristics, and 3) sources of materials. For added advice on assay of the Animal Accommodation section, amuse accredit to the Guidelines for the Assay of Animal Accommodation and the accordant sections of the NSF PAPPG.
Inclusion of Women, Minorities, and Individuals Beyond the Lifespan: Back the proposed action involves animal accommodation and/or NIH-defined analytic research, the board will appraise the proposed affairs for the admittance (or exclusion) of individuals on the base of sex/gender, race, and ethnicity, as able-bodied as the admittance (or exclusion) of individuals of all ages (including accouchement and earlier adults) to actuate if it is justified in acceding of the authentic goals and assay action proposed. For added advice on assay of the Admittance section, amuse accredit to the Guidelines for the Assay of Admittance in Analytic Research.
Vertebrate Animals: The board will appraise the captivation of alive bearcat animals as allotment of the authentic appraisal according to the afterward criteria: (1) description of proposed procedures involving animals, including species, strains, ages, sex, and absolute cardinal to be used; (2) justifications for the use of animals against addition models and for the account of the breed proposed; (3) interventions to abbreviate discomfort, distress, affliction and injury; and (4) absolution for afterlife adjustment if NOT constant with the AVMA Guidelines for the Afterlife of Animals. Reviewers will appraise the use of chimpanzees as they would any added appliance proposing the use of bearcat animals. For added advice on assay of the Bearcat Animals section, amuse accredit to the Worksheet for Assay of the Bearcat Animal Section.
Biohazards: If abstracts or procedures are proposed that are potentially chancy to assay cadre and/or the environment, the adequacy of the proposed aegis will be assessed.
As applicative for the action proposed, reviewers will abode anniversary of the afterward assay considerations, but will not accede them in accouterment an all-embracing NIH appulse score.
Budget and Aeon Support: Reviewers will accede whether the account and the requested aeon of abutment are absolutely justified and reasonable in affiliation to the proposed research.
Prospective board are acerb encouraged to altercate their proposals with the acquainted Affairs Officers afore acquiescence to actuate action appliance to the priorities of both SBE and NIGMS. Specific questions pertaining to this abode can additionally be directed to the acquainted Affairs Officers.
Proposals submitted in acknowledgment to this affairs abode will be brash by Ad hoc Assay and/or Console Review.
The arete assay will be conducted by NSF with the accord of an NIH authentic assay officer, and affairs agents from NIGMS will be accustomed admission to anniversary angle submitted to this initiative, as able-bodied as to all assay information. Reviewers will be asked to appraise proposals appliance two Civic Science Board accustomed arete assay belief as able-bodied as the NIH belief of Significance, Investigators, Innovation, Approach, and Ambiance and the added affairs specific criteria. A arbitrary appraisement and accompanying anecdotal will about be completed and submitted by anniversary analyst and/or panel.
Upon cessation of the assay process, admirable proposals may be recommended for allotment by either NIGMS or NSF, at the advantage of the agencies, not the proposer. SciSIP and NIGMS will accordingly baddest assay projects for allotment from amid those appointed as recommended for allotment by the assay process. Subsequent admission administering procedures will be in accordance with the alone behavior of the appliance agency.
NSF Process: After scientific, abstruse and programmatic assay and appliance of adapted factors, the NSF Affairs Administrator recommends to the acquainted Division Director whether the angle should be beneath or recommended for award. NSF strives to be able to acquaint applicants whether their proposals accept been beneath or recommended for allotment aural six months. Large or decidedly circuitous proposals or proposals from new awardees may crave added assay and processing time. The time breach begins on the borderline or ambition date, or cancellation date, whichever is later. The breach ends back the Division Director acts aloft the Affairs Officer’s recommendation.
After programmatic approval has been obtained, the proposals recommended for allotment will be forwarded to the Division of Grants and Agreements for assay of business, financial, and action implications. After an authoritative assay has occurred, Grants and Agreements Officers accomplish the processing and arising of a admission or added agreement. Proposers are cautioned that alone a Grants and Agreements Administrator may achieve commitments, obligations or awards on account of NSF or accredit the amount of funds. No charge on the allotment of NSF should be accepted from abstruse or bread-and-butter discussions with a NSF Affairs Officer. A Principal Investigator or alignment that makes banking or cadre commitments in the absence of a admission or accommodating acceding active by the NSF Grants and Agreements Administrator does so at their own risk.
Once an accolade or atrophy accommodation has been made, Principal Board are provided acknowledgment about their proposals. In all cases, reviews are brash as arcane documents. Verbatim copies of reviews, excluding the names of the reviewers or any reviewer-identifying information, are beatific to the Principal Investigator/Project Director by the Affairs Officer. In addition, the apostle will accept an account of the accommodation to accolade or abatement funding.
NIH Process: Proposals to be brash for allotment by NIGMS will crave the acquiescence of an NIH R01 assay admission appliance by the appellant organization. Those admission applications to be recommended for accolade by NIGMS will be answerable to a added akin of assay by the Civic Advising Accepted Medical Sciences Council. Any applications after called for allotment will be answerable to NIH accolade administering as abundant in the NIH Grants Action Statement (https://grants.nih.gov/policy/nihgps/index.htm).
Notification of the accolade is fabricated to the appointment alignment by a Grants Administrator in the Division of Grants and Agreements. Organizations whose proposals are beneath will be brash as promptly as accessible by the acquainted NSF Affairs administering the program. Verbatim copies of reviews, not including the character of the reviewer, will be provided automatically to the Principal Investigator. (See Area VI.B. for added advice on the assay process).
An NSF accolade consists of: (1) the accolade notice, which includes any appropriate accoutrement applicative to the accolade and any numbered amendments thereto; (2) the budget, which indicates the amounts, by categories of expense, on which NSF has based its abutment (or contrarily communicates any specific approvals or disapprovals of proposed expenditures); (3) the angle referenced in the accolade notice; (4) the applicative accolade conditions, such as Admission Accepted Altitude (GC-1)*; or Assay Acceding and Conditions* and (5) any advertisement or added NSF arising that may be congenital by advertence in the accolade notice.
