Other Programs of Interest
The NSF Guide to Programs is a compilation of
funding for research and education in science, mathematics, and engineering.
The NSF Guide to Programs is available electronically at http://www.nsf.gov/cgi-bin/getpub?gp.
General descriptions of NSF programs, research areas, and eligibility
information for proposal submission are provided in each chapter.
Many NSF programs offer announcements or
solicitations concerning specific proposal requirements. To obtain additional
information about these requirements, contact the appropriate NSF program
offices. Any changes in NSF's fiscal year programs occurring after press time
for the Guide to Programs will be announced in the NSF E-Bulletin, which is updated daily
on the NSF Website at http://www.nsf.gov/home/ebulletin,
and in individual program announcements/solicitations. Subscribers can also
sign up for NSF's Custom News

to be notified of new funding opportunities that become available.
