New Grant Guidelines from National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation has published a new Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) and researchers submitting proposals on or after January 30 must follow this new guidance. Of note are the updates to the biographical sketch and current and pending support forms. Please review the updates and find the new fillable PDFs on the biographical sketch webpage and the current and pending support webpage. Note that after October 2023, the NSF will no longer accept fillable PDFs for these documents and is encouraging researchers to begin preparing the biosketch and current and pending support documents through SciENcv now. To learn more about how to create an NSF biosketch in SciENcv, please watch the NSF help video or refer to the UO Libraries Research Guide.
