Project Summaries
For proposal information and guidelines, please review proposal preparation guidelines.
The annual proposal deadline for NSF/Ridge 2000 studies is April 7, beginning in 2009. Use FastLane to upload your proposal to NSF, as usual, and remember to indicate on the cover page that you are requesting support under the Ridge 2000 Program. To improve program planning, please send a PDF file that includes Title, Project Investigators, and Project Summary to the Ridge 2000 Program Office.
