Some 58% of the respondents expect the U.S. to weaken on one or both of

b**********0 发帖数: 53 | 11 I think this may be dependent on program/dvision. For instance, in CISE CNS,
many "competitive" proposals are funded. In the several panels I attended,
usually only 1-2 are rated as highly competitive, and there are usually 3-4
competitive proposals that may be funded.
On the other hand, things appear to be different in CISE IIS. My colleague
just got a "highly competitive" proposal declined there. In CNS, I have not
heard this happened to any one.
Any different experience? |

"highly competitive" and "competitive" will be less than 30%... Yes, NSF POs
can select any proposal from the "HC" and "C" pool to fund. They still
typically choose the "HC" ones...But they do have the power to choose to
fund some "C" ones (over "HC").
The difference between CNS and IIS is, CNS has a much higher funded rate

This scenario is very very rare though. Highly competitive means top 15% in
most programs, and in my experience as a panelist, this ~15% ratio is
strictly enforced.
however, since you can't get exact 15% due to rounding errors, in practice
it's often 13%~16% (e.g. 2 out of 13, or 3 out of 19), and the unlucky ones
happen to be those on the borderline. |
