The National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) of the National Science Foundation (NSF) is one of the thirteen principal federal statistical agencies within the United States. It is responsible for the collection, acquisition, analysis, reporting and dissemination of objective, statistical data related to the science and technology (S&T) enterprise in the United States and other nations that is relevant and useful to practitioners, researchers, policymakers and the public. NCSES uses this information to prepare a number of statistical data reports including Women, Minorities and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering and the National Science Board's biennial report, Science and Engineering (S&E) Indicators. The Center would like to enhance its efforts to support analytic and methodological research in support of its surveys as well as promote the education and training of researchers in the use of large-scale nationally representative datasets. NCSES welcomes efforts by the research community to use NCSES or other data to conduct research on the S&T enterprise, develop improved survey methodologies that could benefit NCSES surveys, explore alternate data sources that could supplement NCSES data, create and improve indicators of S&T activities and resources, strengthen methodologies to analyze S&T statistical data, and explore innovative ways to communicate S&T statistics. To that end, NCSES invites proposals for individual or multi-investigator research projects, doctoral dissertation improvement awards, conferences, experimental research, survey research and data collection, and dissemination projects under its program for Research on the Science and Technology Enterprise: Indicators, Statistics, and Methods (NCSES S&T).

Read articleOn October 28, 2026, NSF sent its revised Guidance on Financial Assistance to OMB after 3,277 public responses. The revision drops four provisions borrowed from OMB's unfinished 2 CFR 200 rewrite: no fixed-price awards, no publication costs, termination for convenience, and indirect costs subject to available funds. The final 30-day comment period runs through about November 27. Here is what changed, what didn't, and what research offices should do before the December 11 funding cliff.
Read articleNSF 26-022, the July 8, 2026 Dear Colleague Letter last updated October 27, says NSF will prohibit its funds from supporting research collaborations with entities on U.S. restricted-party lists in FY2027, on the same timeline as the Guidance on Financial Assistance. Authorized organizational representatives and senior/key personnel will certify compliance at proposal submission. Here is what is covered, what is still undefined, and a 60-day plan for research offices and PIs.
