In accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92–

Foundation (NSF) announces its intent 

to hold proposal review meetings 

throughout the year. The purpose of 

these meetings is to provide advice and 

recommendations concerning proposals

meetings is to review and evaluate

evaluation may also include assessment 

of the progress of awarded proposals. 

The majority of these meetings will take
