This page features the most recent Fiscal Year's funding rate data for the U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Engineering (ENG).
Proposal funding rates for a given period, sometimes referred to as "success rates," are calculated by dividing the number of new, competitively reviewed awards made in a Fiscal Year by the number of competitive awards and declines made in that Fiscal Year.
Proposal actions, which include proposals that reach final decision for award or decline, are displayed for full proposals, but not preliminary proposals, contracts, IPA agreements, supplements, continuing grant increments, graduate research fellowships or similar categories.
A proposal is included in a given year based on whether final decision was taken that year and not whether the proposal was received that year.
Overall ENG funding rate:
In FY 2024, ENG's funding rate was 23%.
Funding rates by division:
