These one-pagers help PIs organize their thoughts and help Program Directors prepare to give useful feedback. One-pagers are often discussed within and across programs, so NSF can provide general feedback to the research team and/or request additional information. Feedback can include an evaluation of the fit to the NSF program, suggestions of other programs to consider, and/or reminders to focus on developing testable hypotheses and a feasible research design to answer the overarching scientific question.\nWhat should be included in a one-pager?: The document should mirror the format of the NSF \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://new.nsf.gov/policies/pappg/23-1/ch-2-proposal-preparation\" \\l \"2D2b\" \u0014Project Summary\u0015 of an NSF proposal. This means it includes a brief overview, a statement of the intellectual merit of the proposed research activity, and a statement on the broader impacts of the proposed activity.  Good one-pagers include:\nYour overarching question\nThe big picture of your research area and knowledge gaps you are addressing\nThe hypotheses you will use to address this question\nBriefly describe the specific aims and what you are planning to do\nAny key preliminary data\nDon’t forget & things to consider:\nOne-pagers should be specific to the program. Read the solicitation thoroughly and be sure that your project aligns with the scope of the program. If you aren’t sure if it is a fit, point this out when you write to the Program Director and note any other programs you might be considering.\nUse your one page strategically to tell us what you are proposing to do! You can do this by keeping background information to a minimum, briefly describing why the research is important and how it advances current knowledge. Use most of the page to explain your hypotheses and your approach(es) to addressing them.\nSolicitation specific criteria should be addressed in the one-pager. In addition to the two merit review criteria (Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts), many programs evaluate proposals using additional solicitation specific review criteria described in the program solicitation. To be competitive, this additional information must be addressed in your proposal.\nDon’t forget the Broader Impacts in your 1-pager. They are part of the review criteria, so address them in your one-pager without providing extensive details.\nResponses to one-pager queries typically take a week because they may need to be discussed in weekly program meetings and/or sent to Program Directors in other programs. If you do not hear back within two weeks, then please send a gentle reminder—we all get busy and we don’t want things to fall through the cracks!\nAfter you hear back about your one-pager, you may want to consider scheduling a meeting with a Program Director. This meeting can provide an opportunity to ask specific clarifying questions about the solicitation, (including solicitation specific criteria); about your proposal ideas and preparation; and about other NSF funding opportunities that may be appropriate for your project. Please note: Program Directors are here to help you figure out the best “home” for your ideas at NSF, but they will not provide the type of detailed feedback on your proposal that you would expect from a mentor or colleague.\u000f\nNSF One-Pager Example Template\nFirst Name, Last Name, Organization Name, Email\nTarget Program, Potential Secondary Program(s)\nProposal Type\nThis may vary depending on the program but common proposal types include: Research, Rapid Response Research (RAPID), Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER), Research Advanced by Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering (RAISE), Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI), Conferenc","cbCaihUyHilKNrQv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihUyHilKNrQv","docx",26972,"English","# Purpose\n## What should be included in a one-pager?\n## Don’t forget & things to consider\n## NSF One-Pager Example Template","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of an NSF one-pager?\",\"answer\":\"An NSF one-pager helps Program Directors determine whether a proposed research idea fits the scope of their program and helps PIs organize key concepts for useful feedback.\"},{\"question\":\"What sections should a strong one-pager include?\",\"answer\":\"It should cover the overarching question, research area context and knowledge gaps, hypotheses, specific aims and planned activities, and any key preliminary data, aligned with NSF Program Summary requirements.\"},{\"question\":\"How should applicants handle solicitation-specific criteria and broader impacts?\",\"answer\":\"The one-pager should address solicitation-specific review criteria beyond the two core merit review factors, and it must include broader impacts without excessive detail.\"}]","NSF One-Pager - Description, Suggestions, and Example Template | DOCX",1788103885]
