Like most other grantors, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has specific instructions on how you should develop, write and submit your proposals. Perhaps the most important elements that the NSF wants to see in your proposals are the merit-review criteria developed by the National Science Board (NSB).
Addressing Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts in your NSF grant application is the crucial element to drafting not only a proposal that reviewers will view favorably, but also one that the agency won’t return to you without even reviewing it.
