Project pitch
https://seedfund.nsf.gov/apply/full-proposal/
Submit a Project Pitch to see if your idea might be a good fit for NSF funding.
Timing
We accept Project Pitches at any time (24/7) and 365 days a year. Typically, it takes about one month to get an official response from NSF staff.
Instructions
The required Project Pitch allows startups to learn if their proposed project is a good fit for funding from America’s Seed Fund powered by NSF. See four key questions you'll be asked to answer.
Submission
We recommend treating the submission window like a deadline, but you can submit anytime within a year of receiving an official invitation from NSF. (NSF uses quarterly submission windows to help gather and review proposals, but sometimes proposals are reviewed as they are received.)

Processing time: Up to five business days
A DUNS number is a unique, nine-digit number that identifies each physical location of your company. You’ll need one in order to receive government funding. Because you’re applying for a DUNS number for government funding, processing time should take about five business days.

Proposal review & decision
Once you submit your Phase I proposal, NSF finds at least three external experts (in technology, commercialization, or both) to review it and provide feedback.
All proposals are reviewed against the NSF merit review criteria, which cover the quality of research (intellectual or technical merit), its potential impact on society (broader impacts), and the commercial potential of the project (commercial impact).
Proposal documents and status
Review your submission
To
review your submitted Phase I proposal, login to Fastlane
and navigate to the “Proposals, Awards, and Status” tab. The
proposal status is also found on this page and, once a final decision
has been made, the full text of the written (anonymous) reviewer
feedback is available to the Principal Investigator here.
