Please be advised that the guidelines contained in nsf 11-1 apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding sharing: the pappg has been revised to implement the national science board's recommendations regarding cost sharing. In order to assess the scope of the project, all organizational resources necessary for the project must be described in the facilities, equipment and other resources section of the proposal. Xi) for further information about the implementation of these ctoral researcher mentoring plan: as a reminder, each proposal that requests funding to support postdoctoral researchers must include, as a supplementary document, a description of the mentoring activities that will be provided for such individuals. Please be advised that if required, fastlane will not permit submission of a proposal that is missing a postdoctoral researcher mentoring plan. This solicitation features two mechanisms for support of student research: (1) reu sites are based on independent proposals to initiate and conduct projects that engage a number of students in research. 2) reu supplements may be included as a component of proposals for new or renewal nsf grants or cooperative agreements or may be requested for ongoing nsf-funded research raduate student participants in either reu sites or reu supplements must be u.

Although interdisciplinary or multi-department proposals must be submitted to a single nsf disciplinary unit, these proposals are often reviewed by two or more nsf units, at the discretion of the nsf program officer who manages the proposal. A proposal should reflect the unique combination of the proposing organization's interests and capabilities and those of any partnering organizations. They should also encourage continued interaction of mentors with students during the academic year, to the extent practicable, to help connect students' research experiences to their overall course of study and to help the students achieve success in courses of study leading to a baccalaureate degree in a stem gh proposals for the renewal of successful reu sites are welcome, investigators are reminded that such proposals will be reviewed through the normal merit review process and there is no guarantee that a renewal grant will be reu supplement typically provides support for one or two undergraduate students to participate in research as part of a new or ongoing nsf-funded research project. Quality mentoring is important in reu supplements, just as it is in reu sites, and investigators should give serious attention not only to developing students' research skills but also to involving them in the culture of research in the discipline and connecting their research experience with their overall course of igators are reminded that support for undergraduate students involved in carrying out research under nsf awards should be included as part of the research proposal itself instead of as a post-award supplement to the research proposal, unless such undergraduate participation was not foreseeable at the time of the original supplements may be obtained in either of two ways: (1) proposers may include an reu supplement activity as a component of a new (or renewal) research proposal to nsf. For guidance, contact the program officer who manages the research program to which the proposal would be submitted. These are optional; proposals are not required to respond to any of rship with the department of engages in a partnership with the department of defense (dod) to expand undergraduate research opportunities in dod-relevant research areas through the reu sites program. Any proposal submitted to nsf for the reu sites program that is recommended for funding through the nsf merit review process will be considered by dod representatives for possible support through assure. Proposals that are selected for the dod funding will involve dod-relevant research and may come from any of the nsf directorates or offices that handle reu site proposals. Department of energy's geothermal technologies program (gtp) intends to expand undergraduate research opportunities in the area of geothermal energy by providing funds to nsf for meritorious reu site proposals with that focus. Gtp is interested in proposals aimed at a range of geothermal technologies, including geothermal heat pumps, binary cycle electricity generation systems, direct use, conventional hydrothermal, and enhanced geothermal systems (egs). Reu site proposals with a focus on geothermal energy will automatically be considered for gtp ational reu program encourages projects with an international dimension.
Appropriate reu site and reu supplement proposals can be considered for co-funding by nsf's office of international science and engineering (oise). Proposals should provide sufficient detail to demonstrate the feasibility of such als should include a description of the foreign collaborator's role in the project, a two-page biographical sketch for the foreign collaborator, and a letter of commitment from the foreign institution or organization, which assures that the foreign institution or organization is committed to the collaboration and will give students appropriate access to ch experiences for encourages research experiences for k-12 teachers of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and the coordination of these experiences with reu projects.

Proposal preparation proposal preparation instructions: proposers may opt to submit proposals in response to this program solicitation via or via the nsf fastlane determining which method to utilize in the electronic preparation and submission of the proposal, please note the following:Collaborative proposals. All collaborative proposals submitted as separate submissions from multiple organizations must be submitted via the nsf fastlane system. Of the grant proposal guide provides additional information on collaborative al for reu following instructions supplement those found in the gpg or nsf application sheet. When preparing the cover sheet in fastlane's proposal preparation module, select the program announcement/solicitation no. If the proposal has a cross-disciplinary research focus, choose the division(s) that seems most relevant (often this is the division corresponding to the departmental affiliation of the principal investigator), and nsf staff will ensure that the proposal is reviewed by people who have expertise that is appropriate to the proposal's content.
So that program officers can sort proposals efficiently and accurately for review, please structure this section as follows, with a list of "project elements"--formatted as a bulleted list, not as a paragraph--followed by a short, narrative "project summary":New reu site, or renewal of previously funded reu site (provide previous nsf award no. Proposals that do not separately address both merit review criteria within the one-page project summary will be returned without t description. Proposals should address the approach to undergraduate research training being taken and should provide detailed descriptions of examples of research projects that students will pursue. Proposals must present plans that will ensure the development of student-faculty interaction and student-student communication. The overall quality of the student recruitment and selection processes and criteria will be an important element in the evaluation of the proposal. Proposals involving fewer than six students per year are raduate student participants supported with nsf funds in either reu sites or reu supplements must be u. If the submitting organization has received prior support through an reu site award in the disciplinary area(s) of the proposal, the project description must include a subsection entitled "results from prior nsf support," which may occupy up to five pages of the 15-page project description. An reu site may not charge students tuition, or include tuition in the proposal budget, as a requirement for participation (although it is permissible to offer students the option of earning academic credit for participation). In addition to the postdoctoral researcher mentoring plan (if applicable) and the data management plan, the proposal may include up to five signed letters of commitment documenting collaborative arrangements of significance to the proposal. Other letters--for example, letters of endorsement--are not t for reu of the research programs throughout the foundation support reu activities that are requested either (1) as a component of a new (or renewal) research proposal or (2) as a post-award supplement to an existing grant or cooperative agreement. Are reminded that support for undergraduate students involved in carrying out research under nsf awards should be included as part of the research proposal itself instead of as a post-award supplement to the research proposal, unless such undergraduate participation was not foreseeable at the time of the original less of which mechanism is used to request an reu supplement, the description of the reu activity should discuss the following: (1) the nature of each prospective student's involvement in the research project; (2) the experience of the pi (or other prospective research mentors) in involving undergraduates in research, including any previous reu supplement support and the outcomes from that support; (3) the nature of the mentoring that the student(s) will receive; and (4) the process and criteria for selecting the student(s).
Request for an reu supplement as part of a proposal for a new or renewal grant or cooperative agreement should be embedded in the proposal as follows. If the intent is to engage students as technicians, then an reu supplement is not the appropriate support mechanism; instead, support should be entered on the undergraduate students line of the proposal budget. Request for an reu supplement to an existing nsf award should be submitted if the need for the undergraduate student support was not foreseen at the time of the original proposal submission, and should be prepared by the pi in fastlane in accordance with the guidelines found in the gpg. All student costs should be entered as participant support costs (line f) in the proposal budget.

Nsf proposal processing and review als received by nsf are assigned to the appropriate nsf program where they will be reviewed if they meet nsf proposal preparation requirements. All proposals are carefully reviewed by a scientist, engineer, or educator serving as an nsf program officer, and usually by three to ten other persons outside nsf who are experts in the particular fields represented by the proposal.
Proposers are invited to suggest names of persons they believe are especially well qualified to review the proposal and/or persons they would prefer not review the proposal. Care is taken to ensure that reviewers have no conflicts of interest with the proposal. Nsf merit review nsf proposals are evaluated through use of the two national science board (nsb)-approved merit review criteria: intellectual merit and the broader impacts of the proposed effort. While proposers must address both merit review criteria, reviewers will be asked to address only those considerations that are relevant to the proposal being considered and for which the reviewer is qualified to make is the intellectual merit of the proposed activity? Review and selection als submitted in response to this program solicitation will be reviewed by ad hoc review and/or panel ers will be asked to formulate a recommendation to either support or decline each proposal. The program officer assigned to manage the proposal's review will consider the advice of reviewers and will formulate a scientific, technical and programmatic review and consideration of appropriate factors, the nsf program officer recommends to the cognizant division director whether the proposal should be declined or recommended for award. Nsf is striving to be able to tell applicants whether their proposals have been declined or recommended for funding within six months. In addition, the proposer will receive an explanation of the decision to award or decline all cases, after programmatic approval has been obtained, the proposals recommended for funding will be forwarded to the division of grants and agreements for review of business, financial, and policy implications and the processing and issuance of a grant or other agreement. Organizations whose proposals are declined will be advised as promptly as possible by the cognizant nsf program administering the program. Nsf award consists of: (1) the award letter, which includes any special provisions applicable to the award and any numbered amendments thereto; (2) the budget, which indicates the amounts, by categories of expense, on which nsf has based its support (or otherwise communicates any specific approvals or disapprovals of proposed expenditures); (3) the proposal referenced in the award letter; (4) the applicable award conditions, such as grant general conditions (gc-1); * or research terms and conditions * and (5) any announcement or other nsf issuance that may be incorporated by reference in the award letter. Within 90 days after expiration of a grant, the pi also is required to submit a final project report, and a project outcomes report for the general e to provide the required annual or final project reports, or the project outcomes report will delay nsf review and processing of any future funding increments as well as any pending proposals for that pi.
