September 27, 2004 A critical new requirement for proposals received after January 1, 2002, is that (1) the intellectual merit of the proposed activity; and (2) the broader impacts resulting from the proposed activity must be addressed explicitly in both the project summary and project description. While Investigators routinely address the Intellectual Merit criterion, treatment of Broader Impacts has been inconsistent. Both criteria must be addressed. NSF policy states that proposals not consistent with these instructions may not be considered by NSF. Please help us avoid taking this drastic action by ensuring you pay careful attention and address both criteria in your proposal. New Deadline for REU Proposals The deadline date for REU proposals has been changed. The new deadline is August 16th annually. A new program solicitation will be issued in Spring 2004 and will be linked to the NSF REU web site.
