    The National Science Foundation (NSF) is planning to hold several proposal review meetings throughout the year. These meetings aim to provide advice on proposals submitted to the NSF for funding and to assess ongoing projects. The meetings will be held at the NSF's headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia, and will not be open to the public due to confidential information being discussed. Information about these meetings, including changes and schedules, will be available on the NSF website, and similar notices will be published quarterly.
