Slide 18: nsf merit review criteria

  • Criteria include:
    • What is the intellectual merit and quality of the proposed activity?
    • What are the broader impacts of the proposed activity?

Slide 19: what is the intellectual merit of the proposed activity?

  • Potential Considerations:
    • How important is the proposed activity to advancing knowledge and understanding within its own field or across different fields?
    • How well qualified is the proposer (individual or team) to conduct the project? (If appropriate, the reviewer will comment on the quality of prior work.)
    • To what extent does the proposed activity suggest and explore creative and original concepts?
    • How well conceived and organized is the proposed activity?
    • Is there sufficient access to resources?

Slide 20: what are the broader impacts of the proposed activity?

  • Potential Considerations:
    • How well does the activity advance discovery and understanding while promoting teaching, training and learning?
    • How well does the activity broaden the participation of underrepresented groups (e.g., gender, ethnicity, disability, geographic, etc.)?
    • To what extent will it enhance the infrastructure for research and education, such as facilities, instrumentation, networks and partnerships?
    • Will the results be disseminated broadly to enhance scientific and technological understanding?
    • What may be the benefits of the proposed activity to society?

Slide 21: tips for successful proposal writing

  • Determine if your project is relevant to the program
    • Get in touch with the Program Director
    • Program Director:
      • Review Panels
      • Award/decline recommendation
      • Post management of the awards (progress report)
  • Follow the instructions posted by the agency
    • Format, sections, project plan
    • Agency’s Review Criteria (NSF Merit Review Criteria)
    • Priority Areas for the agency
  • Respond to a solicitation
    • Deadlines (pre-proposal, letter of intent, full proposal)
    • Additional review criteria and requirements
  • Read “successful” proposals of your colleagues
  • Have your proposal reviewed by collaborators or colleagues before submitting
  • Do not submit on the day of the deadline
  • Volunteer to serve on a review panel

Lindiwe Reply
In economics, a perfect market refers to a theoretical construct where all participants have perfect information, goods are homogenous, there are no barriers to entry or exit, and prices are determined solely by supply and demand. It's an idealized model used for analysis,

What is different between quantity demand and demand?
Shukri Reply
Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded

sir...I just want to ask one question... Define the term contract curve? if you are free please help me to find this answer 🙏

it is a curve that we get after connecting the pareto optimal combinations of two consumers after their mutually beneficial trade offs

In economics, the contract curve refers to the set of points in an Edgeworth box diagram where both parties involved in a trade cannot be made better off without making one of them worse off. It represents the Pareto efficient allocations of goods between two individuals or entities, where neither p
