What types of proposals are likely to be reviewed by reverse site visit or site visit?
NSF anticipates that most proposals requesting less than $2,000,000 will not be subjected to a reverse site visit or site visit unless the proposed project is unusually complex or high-risk. Proposals requesting more than $2,000,000, and that receive favorable recommendations in the initial panel review stage, are likely to be subjected to a reverse site visit. NSF anticipates that only a handful of large, complex proposals that have received favorable recommendations in the initial panel review stage and in the reverse site visit stage are likely to be subjected to a site visit.
