NSF
The National Science Foundation (NSF) funds research and education in science and engineering through grants, contracts and cooperative agreements. NSF accounts for about 20 percent of federal support to academic institutions for basic research. The following link provides information about NSF's active funding opportunities:
NSF reviewers benefit from reviewing requests and serving on NSF panels. Reviewers gain first-hand knowledge of the peer-review process; learn about common problems with proposals; discover strategies to write strong proposals; and meet colleagues and NSF program officers managing programs related to your interests.
All proposals submitted to NSF are reviewed according to the two merit review criteria: Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts. Learn more about NSF merits and impacts and learn why most NSF proposals that are awarded funding do not receive all "Excellent" ratings.
