There has been great confusion about submitting proposals to the National Science Foundation from members in the Smithsonian community. Fellows (as well as trust employees, research collaborators, research associates, adjunct scientists, and other honorary appointments) may submit proposals to NSF without special restrictions. Federal employees may submit proposals as Co-Principal Investigators (Co-PIs) by collaborating with other organizations that can serve as the lead applicant. In these cases, the Smithsonian would receive a subaward.
