The BIO Directorate manages proposals submitted to all NSF Priority Areas, including ITR, in its Emerging Frontiers Division. Program Officers from all Biology Divisions will participate in the management of ITR proposals that fall into their areas of expertise. This allows flexibility in assignment of proposals to specific panels. Other Directorates prefer that you choose the Division (or Program) that you deem closest to the areas of science and/or engineering in your proposal.
