If it is ready at the time you submit, the institutional form certifying that your project has been approved should be scanned and incorporated in a pdf file in the supplementary documents section of the proposal. All proposals must be submitted via Fastlane. As soon as the proposal is submitted to NSF through Fastlane, please send a short e-mail message to the MMS program director notifying her of the submission. The MMS Program uses both independent external reviewers and an advisory panel composed of scholars with expertise in research methodology and statistics from various disciplines within the social and behavioral sciences. Each proposal receives a minimum of three written reviews plus an evaluation by the MMS panel.
All reviews are advisory.
