Important information for proposers

All proposals must be submitted in accordance with the requirements specified in this funding opportunity and in the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) that is in effect for the relevant due date to which the proposal is being submitted. It is the responsibility of the proposer to ensure that the proposal meets these requirements. Submitting a proposal prior to a specified deadline does not negate this requirement.

AISL: Program Webinars and Resources

The AISL program team has put together a series of recorded presentations and live webinars designed to support submitters in the preparation of proposals for the AISL program (NSF 22-626). There are six topic-focused recorded webinars plus five office hour-type sessions where AISL program officers will be available to respond to questions from participants about topics covered in the recordings. Please prepare for the live webinars by watching the recorded webinars in advance.

Some recorded webinars are available now at Informalscience.org and all will be available in October 2023. Please sign up for the REVISE newsletter here to be notified when all recorded webinars are available on the REVISE website. To attend the live webinars, you must register by using the links provided in the webinar descriptions below.
