NSF Merit Review
What happens when you submit a proposal to NSF?How are the reviewers selected to review proposals?Who decides whether a proposal is awarded or declined?What type of information does one receive once a proposal has been reviewed?How long does the entire merit review process take?
http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/meritreview/index.jsp
NSF ensures that proposals submitted are reviewed in a fair, competitive, transparent, and in-depth manner. The goal of this Merit Review website is to help our community better understand the NSF merit review process, as well as identify resources for additional information.
