| Additional Information on Eligibility: | *Organization Limit: Proposals may only be submitted by the following: – EFRI proposals may be submitted by a single organization or a group of organizations consisting of a lead organization in partnership with one or more partner organizations. Only U.S. academic institutions which perform research and with degree-granting education programs in disciplines normally supported by NSF are eligible to be the lead organization. Academic institutions are defined as universities and two- and four-year colleges (including community colleges) accredited in, and having a campus located in the United States, acting on behalf of their faculty members. Principal investigators are encouraged to form synergistic collaborations with government laboratories, industrial researchers, and scientists and engineers at foreign organizations where appropriate, though no NSF funds will be provided togovernment labs, industry, or foreign organizations. For interaction with industry, when appropriate for the proposed research, the GOALI mechanism (Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry <a href="http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf09516">http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf09516</a>) may be used. *PI Limit: |
