NBER: Fwd: NSF Deadline Announcement
Subject: Fwd: NSF Deadline Announcement
From: Nancy Rose (nrose@MIT.EDU)

I'm writing to encourage you to take advantage of the NBER's great
support for grants and proposal submission. The service the NBER
provides is really terrific--they understand that your time is scarce and
will help out in any way they can as you navigate the proposal process
and administer your research grants. The overhead rate is quite
attractive, the NBER makes a very generous pension contribution on salary
paid through a grant that they administer, and your overhead supports the
Industrial Organization program and its activities, which I hope you
agree is a wonderful contribution to our field.
Every year I hear from some of you that your university discourages or
prohibits you from applying for grants through third parties like the
NBER. But Marty Feldstein has worked hard to create agreements with
universities that exempt the NBER from such restrictions, and I would be
delighted to put you in touch with researchers in your department who
have successfully done so. The NBER is also open to subcontracting
with your university, if you have a strong reason for dividing the
funding locus (e.g., if the way research assistants are paid at your
university requires them to be university employees).
I hope you'll consider applying for the NSF this round, and doing so
through the NBER IO program. Your activity in and support of the
program is vital to its strength. I've copied below the e-mail from
Alison Oaxaca, the NBER grants administrator, to let you know how to get
started. You should also feel free to contact me with any questions
or concerns.
Thanks! I hope to see you at the program meeting in
February!

Dear Family Members,
I'd like to let you know that the next proposal deadline for NSF's
Economics Program is January 15, 2005. Proposals are submitted
electronically now, through Fastlane
(www.fastlane.nsf.gov ).
PIs are required to complete the following sections -- a 1 page project
summary, a 15 page project description, references, and a 2 page cv, as
well as a form for current and pending support. You may either choose to
work on and upload these sections of the proposal yourself, or e-mail the
sections to me or to Sue Colligan (colligan@nber.org), and we will
assemble the proposal in Fastlane for you. We can work with you and put
together a budget, and complete the other forms. There is no dollar
limit on NSF proposals, but summer support is limited to the lower of
$20,000, or 2 months, per person. Please let me or Sue know if you have
any other questions.
