Contact program directors

Email the listed contacts on the program page with a brief description of your project idea to get advice about the program scope. Send a ~1-page summary of the idea including proposed research objectives, intellectual merit and broader impacts.

Volunteer to be a reviewer

The success of NSF's peer review process depends on the willingness of qualified reviewers like yourself to share your time and expertise.

Those who serve on a review panel will gain insights into what makes a good NSF proposal and the NSF merit review criteria. Reviewers can also network with other researchers in their field. Learn more about the benefits of becoming a reviewer.
