NSF funds research and education in most
fields of science and engineering.
Grantees 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 on behalf of all
qualified scientists, engineers, and
science educators and strongly
encourages women, minorities, and
persons with disabilities to participate
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 subject to
discrimination under any program or
activity receiving financial assistance
from NSF.
Facilitation Awards for Scientists and
Engineers with Disabilities provide
funding for special assistance or
equipment to enable persons with
disabilities to work on NSF-supported
projects. For more information, see the
program announcement (NSF 91-54), or
contact the program coordinator at 306-
1636.
Privacy Act and Public Burden. The
information requested on proposal forms
is solicited under the authority of the
National Science Foundation Act of 1950,
as amended. It will be used in
connection with the selection of
qualified proposals and may be disclosed
to qualified reviewers and staff
assistants as part of the review
process; to applicant
institutions/grantees to provide or
obtain data regarding the application
review process, award decisions, or the
administration of awards; to government
contractors, experts, volunteers, and
researchers as necessary to complete
assigned work; and to other government
agencies in order to coordinate
programs. See Systems of Records, NSF-
50, Principal Investigators/Proposal
File and Associated Records, 60 Federal
Register 4449 (Jan. 23, 1995), and NSF-
51, Reviewer/Proposal File and
Associated Records, 59 Federal Register
8031 (Feb. 17, 1994). Submission of the
information is voluntary. Failure to
provide full and complete information,
however, may reduce the possibility of
your receiving an award.
The public reporting burden for this
collection of information is estimated
to average 120 hours per response,
including the time for reviewing
instructions. Send comments regarding
this burden estimate or any other aspect
of this collection of information,
including suggestions for reducing this
burden, to Herman G. Fleming, Reports

Program Deadlines and Target Dates for
Proposals
The Bulletin gives key dates on which
grant proposals are due at NSF for the
next 4 months. These dates are subject
to change. Further information on the
programs in this publication is
available from the staff members or
offices listed for each entry; from the
NSF Guide to Programs (NSF 97-30); or
from the NSF Home Page on the Web.
Unless otherwise indicated, brochures in
parentheses are available from NSF's
Publications Office and may be requested
by filling out the Publications Order
Form located in the back of this
Bulletin. In addition, many of NSF's
publications are available
electronically on the Web. The number
and letter codes after some
announcements refer to listings in the
publication Keyword Thesaurus. They are
used by the research management offices
of colleges and universities to target
NSF Bulletin information to potential
users.
* * * * *
Program Deadlines: Unless otherwise
stated in announcements or
solicitations, proposals postmarked
after these cutoff dates generally will
be returned to the proposer.
Target Dates: Unless otherwise stated in
announcements or solicitations,
proposals postmarked after these cutoff
dates will be reviewed, although they
may miss a particular panel meeting.
Most NSF programs that do not have a
specific deadline or target date will
accept proposals at any time of the
year. These programs do not appear in
the Bulletin. It takes approximately 6
months to process a proposal.

and (b) demonstrate the effectiveness of
existing activities with the same goals.
These goals can be achieved through
evaluation, refinement, and expansion,
or replication with a different
population or setting. Formal proposals
are due October 1, 1997. Contact the

Instructional Materials Development.
Preliminary Proposals. (Brochure NSF 97-
20.) This program supports the
development of instructional materials
that will promote the systemic
improvement of science, mathematics, and
technology instruction in grades pre-K
through 12. The projects emphasize the
connections within and among science,
mathematics, technology, and other areas
of study. The materials should have a
broad impact on education and should
make positive, long-term changes in
student learning. Formal proposals are
due August 15, 1997. Contact the
Division of Elementary, Secondary, and
Informal Education at 306-1614. [P.T.25;

Informal Science Education. Formal
Proposals. (Brochure NSF 97-20.) This
program promotes a better understanding
of the process of science and scientific
thinking through learning that is
voluntary, self-directed, and long term.
Informal science programs are often
visual or object-oriented and operate
through a variety of media and
organizations, including television,
film, museums, nature centers, parks,
and libraries. The projects are designed
to reach a large national or regional
audience for maximum impact and seek to
promote new relationships between
informal and formal education.
Preliminary proposals were due March 3,
1997. Contact the Division of
Elementary, Secondary, and Informal
Education at 306-1616. [P.T.25;
