Note About Grants.gov:
Grants.gov-submitted proposals are not compliance-checked by the FastLane
system and therefore do not undergo the same set of automated compliance
checks at submission as those submitted directly via FastLane. If NSF receives a
proposal via Grants.gov that is not compliant, it will be returned without review.

Merit Review https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/merit_review/
• Through its merit review process, the National Science Foundation (NSF) ensures that
proposals submitted are reviewed in a fair, competitive, transparent, and in-depth
manner. The merit review process is described in detail in the NSF Proposal & Award
Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG). The PAPPG provides guidance for the
preparation and submission of proposals to NSF.
• The goal of this Merit Review website is to help you better understand the NSF merit
review process as well as identify resources for additional information. Sections of
