1 NSF-BSF COLLABORATIONS IN BIOLOGY Theresa Good Acting Division Director Molecular and Cellular Biosciences September 2017
2 NSF Mission (from 1950 Act) To promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; and to secure the national defense; and for all other purposes. NSF Vision [to enable the USA to become a] nation that creates and exploits new concepts in science and engineering and provides global leadership in research and education. Core Values Scientific Excellence Organizational Excellence Learning Inclusiveness Accountability for Public Benefit Strategic Goals Transform the frontiers of science and engineering Stimulate innovation and address societal needs through research and education Excel as a Federal Science Agency Source: NSF Strategic Plan for ; available at
3
4 NSF IS UNIQUE AMONG FEDERAL RESEARCH FUNDING AGENCIES Mandate to fund both research and education Focus on basic research in all areas of science All areas of science, engineering and computer science are housed in one agency Funding decisions are based on advisory peer review to program directors. Program Directors have discretion to set direction/balance portfolio
5 Where Does NSF Fit? Basic Translation (NIH, USDA,DOE etc) US PI and ISRAELI COLLABORATOR SHOULD TALK TO A PROGRAM DIRECTOR IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT FIT Utility
6 NSF-BSF DEAR COLLEAGUE LETTER There is one Dear Colleague Letter & one set of instructions that apply to all of NSF Directorates (Divisions &Programs) Included: BIO (Division of Environmental Biology; Integrative Organismal Systems; Molecular and Cellular Bioscience) CISE (Computing and Communications Foundations; Computer and Network Systems; Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace; Information and Intelligent Systems; Collaborative Research in Computational Neuroscience) For all CISE submissions, the proposal should be in the SMALL category (up to $500,000 over 3 years for the NSF-funded portion) ENG (Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems; Electrical, Communication and Cyber Systems) GEO (Ocean Sciences, Earth Sciences) MPS (Materials Research, Physics)
7 NSF-BSF DEAR COLLEAGUE LETTER Read the Instructions both for NSF-BSF and for the Core NSF Program List Israeli PI as Senior Personnel BioSketch is uploaded in same section as US PI BioSketch BSF budget (in US dollars) included as supplemental documentation Make sure you include nature of collaboration & history of collaboration
8 WHERE DOES YOUR SCIENCE FIT?
9 WHERE DO I FIND INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT IS BEING FUNDED?
10
11
12 NOT SURE? ASK A PROGRAM DIRECTOR COMMUNICATION IS AN IMPORATANT PART OF THE NSF CULTURE NSF Program Directors will be happy to talk with your US collaborator (lead) and you prior to submission US PI should send to Program Director to set up a time, cc collaborator Can Skype or WebEx or Call so all can be involved
13 PICKING A U.S. COLLABORATOR Useful if he/she has previous NSF experience, but not required May or may not already have NSF funding Programmatic considerations may affect likelihood of funding to someone who has NSF funding NO preference for established investigators pick the best skills/expertise for the project not necessarily the biggest name. Looking for a real collaboration! Commitment from US PI is important. NSF has NO preference for particular institutions; NSF funds all sizes and types. Cannot submit the same proposal to more than one part of NSF, or to multiple American agencies* The programs within the Biology Directorate do NOT support biomedical research Lead PI must work at a US academic or non-profit institution (can not work for a federal lab or as an NIH intramural researcher).
14 WHAT IS THE PROCESS? Preliminary Proposals due in January Invitations issued in May Invited Full Proposals due in August Accepts only full proposals Due date: November 20, 2017 (FY 2018) Core Programs in DEB, IOS and MCB are considering going to full proposals, no deadline Look for the Dear Colleague Letter!
15 A STRONG FULL PROPOSAL.... addresses an important problem in the introduction AND maintains the high enthusiasm for the proposed activities even after the full implementation plan is articulated in detail.
16 NSF REVIEW CRITERIA ALIGN WITH STRATEGIC GOALS AND MISSION Strategic Goals Review Criteria Intellectual Merit Broader Impact Transform the frontiers of science and engineering Stimulate innovation and address societal needs through research and education NSF Mission (from 1950 Act) To promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; and to secure the national defense; and for all other purposes. Source: NSF Strategic Plan for ; available at
17 WHAT IS INTELLECTUAL MERIT? Quality of the science Does it answer a large important question in basic biology? Is it novel and exciting? Will it move the field forward? Is it well conceived and well planned? Experimental Design is feasible, has well thought out alternatives, and tests the questions asked
18 WHAT ARE BROADER IMPACTS? Integrated activities that: Promote teaching, training and learning Broaden participation of underrepresented groups Enhance infrastructure for research and education Broadly disseminate findings Benefit society Can include potential applied uses
19 EXAMPLES OF BROADER IMPACTS ACTIVITIES Partner with museums, nature centers, science centers, and similar institutions to develop exhibits in science, math, and engineering. Citizen Science Activities involve the public where possible, in research and education activities. Give science and engineering presentations to the broader community (e.g., at museums and libraries, on radio shows, and in other such venues). Participate in multi- and interdisciplinary conferences, workshops, and research activities. Integrate research with education activities. For more information visit the National Alliance for Broader Impacts at
20 POTENTIALLY TRANSFORMATIVE RESEARCH NIH translational NSF transformative Is it transformative? Transformative research involves ideas, discoveries, or tools that radically change our understanding of an important existing scientific or engineering concept or educational practice or leads to the creation of a new paradigm or field of science, engineering, or education. Such research challenges current understanding or provides pathways to new frontiers. A proposal does NOT have to be deemed potentially transformative to be funded, but should have strong potential for impact on the field
21 Who Evaluates Your Proposal? Overview of Review Process Program Director Approves Panel Summary Evaluates panel recommendations Makes analysis & recommendation (award, decline) Principal Investigator Identify relevant NSF program Develop proposal & load into NSF Fastlane Get feedback before you submit Program Director Reads your proposal Determines if it is relevant to program Develops thematic Panels Assigns your proposal to a Panel Recruits the Panelists Assigns reviewers to proposal based on interest & expertise of panelist Review Panel Composed of the Reviewers Discuss Strengths/Weaknesses of Intellectual Merit & Broader Impacts Assigned Scribe writes Panel Summary Ranks your proposal Individual Reviewers (at least 3) Prepare written reviews based on NSF Criteria (Intellectual Merit, Broader Impacts) Have expertise in subject of proposal Faculty (mostly), Gov t (sometimes)
22 HOW THE PANEL RATES YOUR PROPOSAL High Priority Strongest in both intellectual merit and broader impacts Most likely to contain transformative ideas Medium Priority Strong in both intellectual merit and broader impacts, but... Low Priority Weaknesses in intellectual merit or broader impacts or both and/or Likely to have incremental impact Non-competitive Seriously flawed in some fundamental way and/or Missing some crucial element or idea
23 HOW DID NSF-BSF PROPOSALS DO IN MCB? (MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR BIOSCIENCES) MCB supports quantitative, predictive, and theory-driven research and related activities designed to decipher the molecular underpinnings of complex living systems. MCB encourages proposals that address major biological questions using approaches at the intersections of biology with other disciplines.
24 FIRST, THE NUMBERS: Proposals 4 Awarded 31 Declined 2 Returned w/out review Proposals submitted 7 Awarded 20 Declined 1 Returned w/out review Funding rate = 11% Funding rate = 25%
25 THE PROPOSALS GOT BETTER! BSF Proposal Rankings MCB Proposal Rankings High Medium Low Non Comp 0 High Medium Low Non Comp BSF FY16 BSF FY17
26 COMMENTS FROM PANEL- WHY A PROPOSAL SCORED POORLY IM: Proposal Set up % Preliminary data does not justify the experiment 14% There is not a clear hypothesis 11% Background and literature search not sufficiently broad % Preliminary data does not justify the experiment 15% Question is not important 15% Research won t move the science forward 15% Findings won t be applicable to broader science
27 COMMENTS FROM PANEL- WHY A PROPOSAL SCORED POORLY IM: Experimental Plan % Experimental plan is not clear 39% Aims are not clearly justified/explained 33% Technical concerns (expertise, equipment, time, funding) 28% Computational methods are not suitable for the work % Technical concerns (expertise, equipment, time, funding) 18% Experimental plan is not clear 18% Aim won t answer the question 15% Aims are not clearly justified/explained
28 COMMENTS FROM PANEL: WHY A PROPOSAL SCORED POORLY BI: % BI activities are not sufficiently explained 11% There is no assessment plan 8% Activities do not reach a sufficiently broad audience % BI activities are not sufficiently explained 12% There is not a clear plan for collaboration between the two labs 15% There is no assessment plan
29 RECOMMENDATIONS: Intellectual Merit Create a strong, clear, testable hypothesis Provide comprehensive background and preliminary data to justify the hypothesis, specific aims and experimental plan Write the experimental plan as if reviewers do not know what you know about the technology, computational methods, etc Demonstrate that each (and every) aim supports the hypothesis Solve a problem that is important
30 RECOMMENDATIONS: Broader Impacts Describe broader impact activities as if reviewers do not know what you know about your BI plan If your outreach is limited to a specific group, clearly justify how this will be a broader impact Spell out plans for collaboration between the two labs (and include funding for this) Include plans for assessing the results of your outreach plan Solve an important societal problem
