The National Science Foundation (NSF) is requesting the higher education community’s feedback on its merit review polices and processes. Written comments are due by Friday, September 20, 2024.

NSF is interested in knowing whether there are any misunderstandings or lack of clarity about the Merit Review criteria and process and if so, what the agency can do to provide clarity to the higher education community. In addition, NSF is interested in learning more about the experiences and perspectives of those who have reviewed proposals submitted to NSF, as well as how NSF could better support awardees in demonstrating and documenting outcomes of their awards in advancing knowledge.

The original request for information is published in the Federal Register. (PDF)

Note that the deadline for comments has been extended to 9/20, and the form for comments is online here.
