The Recovery Act supplements NSF
fiscal year 2009 funding by $3.0 billion. NSF currently has many
highly rated proposals that it has not been able to fund. For this
reason, NSF is planning to use the majority of the $2 billion
available in Research and Related Activities for proposals that are
already in house and will be reviewed and/or awarded prior to
September 30, 2009.
The Foundation also expects to expeditiously
award funds as specified in the Recovery Act for: the Math and
Science Partnership program (funded at $25 million); the Robert
Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (funded at $60 million); the
Major Research Equipment and Facilities Construction Account
(funded at $400 million); the Academic Research Infrastructure
(ARI) program (funded at $200 million); and the Science Masters
program, (funded at $15 million). Solicitations for these latter
two programs will be posted this spring.
NSF will post a solicitation this spring for the
Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI) in order to make a
sufficient number of awards to utilize the $300 million provided in
the legislation. The Foundation currently anticipates that no other
solicitations will be posted that are solely in response to the
Recovery Act."
