This section of the proposal is used to assess the adequacy of the
resources available to perform the effort proposed to satisfy both the
Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts review criteria. Proposers
should describe only those resources that are directly
applicable. Proposers should include an aggregated description of the
internal and external resources (both physical and personnel) that the
organization and its collaborators will provide to the project, should
it be funded. Such information must be provided in this section, in
lieu of other parts of the proposal (e.g., budget justification,
project description). The description should be narrative in nature
and must not include any quantifiable financial information. Reviewers
will evaluate the information during the merit review process and the
cognizant NSF Program Officer will review it for programmatic and
technical sufficiency.

Although these resources are not considered cost sharing as defined in
2 CFR \S 200.306, the Foundation does expect that the resources
identified in the Facilities, Equipment, and Other Resources section
will be provided, or made available, should the proposal be
funded. AAG Chapter II.B.1 specifies procedures for use by the awardee
when there are postaward changes to objective, scope or methodology.
