Directory         1.     Bill Badecker , NSF Linguistics Proposal Requirement Changes Message 1: NSF Linguistics Proposal Requirement Changes Date: 06-Dec-2010 From: Bill Badecker <wbadeckensf.gov> Subject: NSF Linguistics Proposal Requirement Changes E-mail this message to a friend We would like to bring three items to your attention relating to the NSF Linguistics Program and to a new solicitation from the Office of International Cooperation in Science and Engineering (OISE): 1. New requirements for NSF proposals 2. Target dates for submitting grant proposals 3. OISE solicitation for Catalyzing New International Collaborations New requirements for NSF proposals: NSF recently issued a new Grant Proposal Guide (GPG), the terms of which are effective January, 2011. The New GPG is available on line at: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/policydocs/pappguide/nsf11001/gpg_index.jsp We draw your attention to the following new requirement: beginning with the spring 2011 review cycle, all proposals must contain a ''Data Management Plan'' to be submitted as a supplementary document of up to 2 pages. See: Ch. II, Sec. C.2.j, in the 2011 Grant Proposal Guide. Your Data Management Plan should in some way address the following questions: What kinds of data, software, and other materials will your research produce? How will you manage them (e.g., standards for metadata, format, organization, etc.)? How, if at all, will you give others access to your data, while preserving confidentiality, security, intellectual property, & other rights/requirements? How will you archive data and preserve access? We recognize that Linguistics and related sciences do not have shared standards for data management and that circumstances vary enormously. Your plan should be appropriate to your own situation. For something like a conference/workshop proposal, your data management plan can be as simple as stating that no data will be collected. Further guidance on Data Management Plans is available from the Division of Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/SBE_DataMgmtPlanPolicy.pdf) and in the FAQ on Data Management Plans (http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/dmpfaqs.jsp). Starting on January 18th, FastLane will not accept proposal submissions that do not contain a Data Management Plan. However the requirement is for ALL proposals submitted from the January reviewing cycle on. If a proposal submission that does not have a plan is accepted by FastLane before the 18th it will be returned and if an amended proposal is not received in time it will not be reviewed. Other changes to the Grant Proposal Guide can be found at: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/policydocs/pappguide/nsf11001/gpg_sigchanges.jsp Linguistics Program Target Dates: The annual target dates for submitting proposals to the NSF Linguistics Program are: January 15th and July 15th. However, because January 15th, 2011, falls on a holiday weekend, the first target date for the year will be January 18th, 2011. Catalyzing New International Collaborations: NSF’s Office of International Collaboration in Science and Technology (OISE) aims to identify opportunities for international engagement that will enable transformative research, new modes of investigation and networking, and development of a diverse, globally-engaged workforce. It is in this spirit that OISE has just published a new solicitation, ''Catalyzing New International Collaborations'' (11-508): http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=12815 This solicitation offers support for the exploratory phase of an international collaboration with the strong expectation that the next phase will involve submission of a follow-on proposal for continued funding of the collaborative research. In this model, OISE supports the initial phases of a collaboration which then generates a competitive research proposal to an NSF disciplinary program. International collaboration is a part of NSF's regular approach to doing business, and OISE’s new solicitation is designed to increase the number of proposals NSF receives for collaborative research and education. In addition, the solicitation offers the opportunity to experiment with new modalities for supporting international collaborations. Proposals written in response to solicitation 11-508 should be submitted directly to OISE, and PIs in linguistics should request co-review by the linguistics program. PIs are advised take advantage of the opportunity to submit in FastLane (under “single-copy documents”) a list of suggested reviewers who are qualified to evaluate the intellectual merit of the proposal. The annual submission dates for Catalyzing New International Collaborations (11-508) are March 1st and September 1st. We both plan to be at the annual meeting of the LSA in Pittsburgh in January and will be available there to discuss any questions you have about the NSF Linguistics Program.
