Important Notice to Proposers
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG), NSF 13-1, was issued on October 4, 2012 and is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 14, 2013. Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 13-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
Please be aware that significant changes have been made to the PAPPG to implement revised merit review criteria based on the National Science Board (NSB) report, National Science Foundation's Merit Review Criteria: Review and Revisions. While the two merit review criteria remain unchanged (Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts), guidance has been provided to clarify and improve the function of the criteria. Changes will affect the project summary and project description sections of proposals. Annual and final reports also will be affected.
A by-chapter summary of this and other significant changes is provided at the beginning of both the Grant Proposal Guide and the Award & Administration Guide.

SYNOPSIS
This Networking Research program seeks to establish
a sound scientific foundation and technological basis needed to
facilitate the efficient transfer of information through
large-scale, high-speed networks and enable new kinds of
communications-oriented service protocols and architectures in
highly heterogeneous and ubiquitous networking and distributed
environments. The focus will be on the capability to securely and
robustly accommodate extreme ranges of user demands and quality of
service requirements. This research is needed to build the next
generation communications and networking infrastructure required
for a current and future, highly connected, IT-enabled society. The
program seeks to fund innovative research that spans the entire
spectrum, from network design and performance evaluation to
middleware and software frameworks capable of providing the
security assurances and adaptability necessary to support various
types of distributed applications and application oriented network
services, as well as tools and analytical models for managing and
analyzing large-scale, highly complex
networks.
