The National Science Foundation (NSF) funds research and education in
most fields of science and engineering. Awardees are wholly responsible
for conducting their project activities and preparing the results for
publication. Thus, the Foundation does not assume responsibility for
such findings or their interpretation.
NSF welcomes proposals
from all qualified scientists, engineers and educators. The Foundation
strongly encourages women, minorities and persons with disabilities to
compete fully in its programs. In accordance with Federal statutes,
regulations and NSF policies, no person on grounds of race, color, age,
sex, national origin or disability shall be excluded from participation
in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under
any program or activity receiving financial assistance from NSF,
although some programs may have special requirements that limit
eligibility.
Facilitation Awards
for Scientists and Engineers with Disabilities (FASED) provide
funding for special assistance or equipment to enable persons with
disabilities (investigators and other staff, including student research
assistants) to work on NSF-supported projects. See the GPG Chapter II,
Section D.2 for instructions regarding preparation of these types of
proposals.
The National Science
Foundation promotes and advances scientific progress in the United
States by competitively awarding grants and cooperative agreements for
research and education in the sciences, mathematics, and engineering.
