NSF consultation
RED provides one-on-one consultations for investigators preparing NSF proposals. Before participating in NSF Consultations, investigators should familiarize themselves with NSF’s Focus Areas and the NSF Proposal Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG), the official source of proposal preparation and submission guidelines.
Our consultations assist with:
Proposal

Aligning your project with NSF focus areas and funding priorities.
Narrative Development
Structuring the Project Description, Intellectual Merit, and Broader Impacts sections.
Compliance Review
Ensuring adherence to the PAPPG, including investigator documents.
Proposal Copyediting
Refining clarity, consistency, and readability.
Mock
Review
Organizing internal peer-review panels to simulate the NSF merit review process.
