==== RESOURCES ====
  * AAS Executive Office can help (Joel Parriott): For example, it could be that answering some of the demographic questions will require the assistance of department chairs (astro and physics), possibly funding an AIP survey of those chairs to as high of a completion rate as possible.  (Should arms need twisting, the AAS is also hosting its bi-annual astro department chairs meeting on November 1st in Chicago.)

=== Other Practices ===
  * **NSF Physics Division, Program Solicitation 14-576:** No Limit on Number of Proposals per PI or Co-PI.  However, the Physics Division strongly encourages single proposal submission for possible co-review rather than multiple submissions of proposals with slight differences to several programs.

  * **Division of Materials Research, top level web page:** DMR discourages the submission across DMR's program of more than one proposal from the same Principal Investigator during the DMR Annual proposal-submission window each fall.

  * **Division of Chemistry, top level web page:** CHE discourages the submission of more than one proposal from the same Principal Investigator during the proposal-submission window. Note that proposals that are a duplicate of, or substantially similar to, a proposal already under consideration by NSF from the same submitter are subject to return without review. This also applies to proposals that were previously reviewed and declined and have not been substantially revised as well as to duplicates of other proposals that were already awarded.

  * **Math also claims to discourage multiple proposals**, but Jim Ulvestad couldn’t find it in an obvious place on their web site.
