PROGRAM GUIDELINES
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies &
Procedures Guide (PAPPG), NSF 09-1, was issued on October 1, 2008
and is effective for proposals submitted on or after January 5, 2009. Please be
advised that the guidelines contained in NSF 09-1 apply to proposals submitted
in response to this funding opportunity. Proposers who opt to submit
prior to January 5th, 2009, must also follow the guidelines
contained in NSF 09-1.
One of the most significant changes to the PAPPG is
implementation of the mentoring provisions of the America COMPETES Act.
Each proposal that requests funding to support postdoctoral researchers must
include, as a separate section within the 15-page project description, a
description of the mentoring activities that will be provided for such
individuals. Proposals that do not include a separate section on
mentoring activities within the Project Description will be returned without
review (see the PAPP Guide Part I: Grant Proposal Guide Chapter
II.C.2.d for further information).

SYNOPSIS
The Division of Science Resources Statistics (SRS) of the National Science Foundation (NSF) is responsible for the design, development, implementation, and continuous quality improvement of data collections, generally in the form of surveys on the science and engineering enterprise. SRS uses these data collections to prepare a number of statistical data reports as well as analytical reports including the National Science Board's biennial report, Science and Engineering (S&E) Indicators, and Women, Minorities and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering. As part of the Division's efforts to maintain ongoing quality in its surveys and data products, SRS supports efforts by the research community to develop improved survey methodologies, create and improve indicators of S&T activities and resources, and strengthen methodologies to analyze and disseminate S&T statistical data. To that end, SRS invites proposals for survey research, workshops, and analytical studies under its program for Research on Science and Technology Surveys and Statistics. (This grants program supercedes "Grants for the Analysis of Science and Technology (S&T) Resources.")
