 Title:  Celebrate Science! 
 Program Solicitation:  NSF 05-544 
 
 Dear Dr.  White , 

 
 Our staff has reviewed the preliminary proposal (FastLane&rsquo;s preproposal ) that you submitted to the Informal Science Education (ISE) program.   I regret to inform you that, in the opinion of the reviewers, the concept presented does not match our program objectives and we would discourage further development and submission of a formal proposal.   

 This review is not a formal evaluation of the proposed project, and is not intended as a substitute for the merit review that would be applied to a full proposal.   This evaluation is based on two or more Program Officers&rsquo; judgments of how successfully your preliminary proposal reflects the criteria of the ISE program.   You should be aware that you are not precluded from submitting a full proposal for the June 13, 2005 deadline.   We recommend, however, that you give these comments serious consideration in deciding whether or not to proceed with submission of a full proposal.   

 Review(s) have been entered into NSF&rsquo;s FastLane system.   Within 48 hours of receipt of this message, you will be able to access them at http://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/a2/PropInq.htm  using your FastLane password.   If you do not have, or cannot remember, your password, please follow the instructions provided at that site for resetting it. 

 Please note that NSF requires the return of a proposal without review if  National Science Board merit review criteria (i.e., intellectual merit, broader impacts) are not separately addressed within the Project Summary .   This guidance along with other changes can be found in the revised version of the NSF Grant Proposal Guide (GPG) (NSF 04-23).    The GPG can be accessed at: http://www.nsg.gov/pubsys/ods/getpub.cfm?gpg >.    

 If you would like further information regarding the evaluation of your preliminary proposal, please contact the Cognizant Program Officer whose name, telephone number, and email address are given below.
