How much time would you say you spent on the NSF application?

The NIH F31 fellowship was slightly over 100 hours.

I also had an NSF GRFP (I applied as an undergrad). That was probably 20-30 hours although I didn't keep track of it at the time.

Thanks! From the post here, https://denovo.substack.com/p/applying-for-nih-funding-part-1, it looked like NIH's paperwork requirements were about 5x what NSF asked for.
