ECCS Unsolicited Proposal Submission Windows
The submission windows for unsolicited proposals in the ECCS Division are: - September 7 - October 7
- January 7 - February 7
Proposals submitted before or after the submission windows will be returned without review. If the deadline date falls on a weekend, it will be extended to the following Monday; if the date falls on a holiday, it will be extended to the following business day. These submission windows do not apply to workshop proposals or proposals for Small Grants for Exploratory Research (SGER). The ECCS Division discourages multiple proposals by the same PI and/or Co-PI within the same submission window. The proposal review is typically accomplished by panels of external experts, and decisions about awards or declinations are made within 6 months of each submission window. For unsolicited proposals, the two NSF merit review criteria of Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts are evaluated explicitly in the review and in considering award recommendations. These criteria are discussed in section 3A of the NSF Grant Proposal Guide. Both merit review criteria must be explicitly addressed in the project summary, or the proposal will be returned without review.
