Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to submit a brief preapplication. A response to the preapplications encouraging or discouraging a formal application generally will be communicated to the applicant within 21 days of receipt. This address must also be used when submitting applications by U.S. Postal Service Express, any commercial mail delivery service, or when hand carried by the applicant. Two recent reports prepared by the BES program, which address both NSET research and broader program goals that are dependent on nanoscale understanding, are available on the internet. These reports detail current topics supported by BES in the area of NSET, describe future research directions, and should be used as a guide to appropriate proposal topics.
