| UFE: | Undergraduate Faculty Enhancement | |
| Item 2 | Indicate what Type of submission this is: | |
| PR: | Proposal for a Project (ATE, CETP, CCD, CCD-IR, ILI-IP, ILI-LLD, UFE) | |

| PC: | Preliminary proposal for a Center (ATE only) | |
| CE: | Proposal for a Center (ATE only) | |
| Item 3 | Enter the Name of the Principal Investigator/Project Director. | |
| Item 4 | Enter the Name of the Submitting Institution, including the branch or campus. | |
| Item 5 | List any Other Institutions Involved in the operation of the project: directly, through subcontracts, or through shared use of equipment. | |
| Code A | Select a two-digit Major Discipline Code that corresponds to the Field that is most descriptive of your proposal area (see attached table). Then fill in one or more Sub-fields that best describes the specific area where your proposal applies. The list is not all-inclusive; use other, similar terms if they are more appropriate. Applicants to Advanced Technological Education and others interested in enhancing Engineering Technology programs should select 58 as the major discipline code and then select the appropriate disciplinary code(s) for subfields. For example, a Chemical Engineering Technology program would select 58 as the major code and 53 as the subfield. Those interested in Science Technology programs should select the appropriate major discipline code. For example, a Chemical Technology Program would select 12 as the major code. | |
| Code B | Enter Academic Focus Level Code of the project. That is, the project or workshop will develop or implement curricular or laboratory material for eventual presentation at what academic level: LO = lower division undergraduate courses; UP = upper division undergraduate courses; BO = both divisions of undergraduate courses; PC = pre-college courses (K-12); AL = pre-college and undergraduate courses. | |

| Code D | Enter the proper Category Code depending on the program: | |
| ATE: | Indicate whether this project focuses on a CE = Center; or PR = Project. | |
| CETP: | Indicate whether the project focuses on preparing ET = elementary school teachers, MS = middle school teachers, SS = secondary school teachers, or CM = comprehensive. | |
| CCD: | Indicate whether the project is an IC = individual course project; or a CC = comprehensive curriculum development project. | |
| ILI: | No category code needed. | |
| UFE: | Indicate whether the project is a CO = 2-year college and 4-year college/university coalition; or SP = standard project. | |
| Code E | If the project has major participation by the private sector (commercial and industrial organizations), indicate by entering PS; otherwise leave blank. | |
| Code F | For those proposals where a significant component of the project is the education of the following groups, indicate the proper Audience Code(s). Indicate codes also if the institution has as its mission the education of one or more groups. Each group indicated must be discussed explicitly and substantively in the proposal narrative. Codes: W = Women; M = Minorities; D = Persons with Disabilities; T = Pre-Service Teachers; H = Technicians and Technologists; I = In-Service Teachers; S = Secondary School Students. | |
| Code G | Enter the Institution Code to indicate whether the (lead) institution is: PUBL = Public; PRIV = Private; CONS = Consortium; NACD = Non-academic. | |
| Code H | If applicable, indicate that the project has a strategic area focus by entering an appropriate code according to the following: GC = Global Change; HPC = High Performance Computing; EN = Environment; MA = Manufacturing; BT = Biotechnology; AMP = Advanced Materials and Processing; CI = Civil Infrastructure Systems. | |
| Codes I-L | Give your best estimate of the numbers of persons in the indicated categories who will receive immediate benefit from the project (primary effect) or are likely to immediately benefit as a result of another person's participation (secondary effect) during the period the project is in operation (including intermediate periods for seasonal projects). Note that the period of operation may extend beyond the expected period of NSF funding. | |
| Code M | Give your best estimate of the total dollar value of the cumulative institutional cost-sharing, if any, to be provided. | |
The Summary of the Proposed Work should be a concise description of the project. It is limited to 22 single-spaced lines of standard-sized 12 point font. See the instructions in the subsection on the Project Data and Summary Form.
