This informative report extends prior reports on the Future of Work to address issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in light of recent historical events.

This report provides an overview of the ITEST portfolio's current projects. The information included was curated with new ITEST proposal writers in mind so that you can become more familiar with the program and current project trends. We used several data sources to compile this information; NSF's Award Search database, and project survey data collected by STELAR (the New Project Survey and Annual ITEST Survey).

The NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) is comprised of documents relating to the Foundation's proposal and award process for the assistance programs of NSF. 

This version (NSF 22-1) is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after October 4, 2021.
