Proposed Project

‘‘National Sciences Foundation

Proposal/Award Information—Grant

Proposal Guide.’’ The missions of the

NSF are to:increase the Nation’s base of

scientific and engineering knowledge

and strengthen its ability to support

research in all areas of science and

engineering; and promote innovative

science and engineering education

programs that can better prepare the

Nation to meet the challenges of the

future. The Foundation is committed to

ensuring the Nation’s supply of

scientists, engineers, and science

educators, In its role as leading Federal

supporter of science and engineering,

NSF also has an important role in

national science policy planning.

Use of the Information

The regular submission of proposals

to the Foundation is part of the

collection of information and is used to

help NSF fulfill this responsibility by

initating and supporting merit-selected

research and education projects in all

the scientific and engeering disciplines.

NSF receives more than 30,000

proposals annually for new projects,

and makes approximately 10,000 new

awards. Support is made primarily

through grants, contracts, and other

agreements awarded to approximately

2,800 colleges, universities, academic

consortia, nonprofit institutions, and

small businesses. The awards are based

mainly on evaluations of proposal merit

submitted to the Foundation (proposal

review is cleared under OMB Control

No. 3145–0060).

The Foundation has a continuing

commitment to monitor the operations

of its information collection to identify

and address excessive reporting burdens

as well as to identify any real or

apparent inequities based on gender,

race, ethnicity, or disability of the

proposed principal investigator(s)/

project director(s) or the co-principal

investigator(s)/co-project director(s).

Burden on the Public

The Foundation estimates that an

average of 120 hours is expended for

each proposal submitted. An estimated

38,000 proposals are expected during

the course of one year. These figures

compute to an estimated 4,560,000

public burden hours annually.
