This document provides guidance for researchers on determining if a proposal would fit within the NSF SaTC program. It recommends checking if results would be appropriate for related conferences like WEIS or SOUPS, searching the NSF website to find previously funded related work, and directly asking a program officer in the relevant field. Contact information is given for several program officers across different NSF directorates that may provide input on proposal fit.
