F National Science Foundation Proposal Success Rates The raw data on NSF proposal success rates for research proposals, for all of the Division of Astronomical Sciences (AST) and by field including ATI, are given in Table F.1. For the figures, proposal success fraction represents the number accepted versus the number received, but the average proposal size has been normalized to 1997 dollars using the deflators given in Appendix C. Data were assembled by R. Konkel, an NRC contractor, who served as a consultant to the committee and obtained data from M. Aizenman, deputy director of the NSF AST, and Guenther Riegler, director of the Research Program Management Division at NASA's Office of Space Science.
