As part of its mission to foster high-quality scientific and engineering research, the National Science Foundation (NSF) plans, grants, and administers major awards to universities and other research institutions for national research facilities, multidisciplinary research centers, and other large-scale research projects. Although few in number, less than 100, such projects account for about 30 percent of NSF's annual research budget.This book provides a useful overview of how such projects are planned, reviews proposals for merit, and evaluates ongoing projects for renewal awards. The panel makes a series of recommendations for strengthening major award decisionmaking.Table of ContentsFRONT MATTEREXECUTIVE SUMMARY1 MAJOR AWARDS AT NSF2 PLANNING MAJOR PROJECTS3 AWARDING MAJOR PROJECTS: CRITERIA AND REVIEW PROCEDURES4 AWARDING MAJOR PROJECTS: NSB ROLE, REVIEW PROCESS DESIGN, AND DECISION...5 RECOMPETITION OF AWARDS6 LOOKING TO THE FUTUREAPPENDIXESREFERENCES
