Announcement  12-515

Important Notice to Proposers

A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG), NSF 13-1, was issued on October 4, 2012 and is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 14, 2013. Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 13-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.

Please be aware that significant changes have been made to the PAPPG to implement revised merit review criteria based on the National Science Board (NSB) report, National Science Foundation's Merit Review Criteria: Review and Revisions. While the two merit review criteria remain unchanged (Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts), guidance has been provided to clarify and improve the function of the criteria. Changes will affect the project summary and project description sections of proposals. Annual and final reports also will be affected.

A by-chapter summary of this and other significant changes is provided at the beginning of both the Grant Proposal Guide and the Award & Administration Guide.

SYNOPSIS

NSF, in collaboration with the Health Information Technology (IT) Portfolio at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), will accept and review investigator-initiated proposals that address systems modeling in health services research. The Service Enterprise Systems program in the Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) division of the Engineering Directorate will be the lead program on this interdisciplinary topic. Through this partnership, NSF and AHRQ look to foster new collaborations among health services researchers and industrial and systems engineers with a specific emphasis on the supportive role of health IT.
