New PAPPG

The National Science Foundation has just recently issued the NEW (2024) Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 24-1). The new PAPPG will be effective for proposals submitted or due on or after May 20, 2024.

We highly recommend reviewing the by-chapter Summary of Changes provided in the PAPPG. It provides a great snapshot and some in-depth detail into new changes and revisions over previous versions.

Additionally, NSF is providing a special PAPPG Webinar -- Updates to the NSF Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 24-1 )-- which will cover the changes and clarifications to the PAPPG. The webinar will be held on Tuesday, March 12, from 2:00 – 3:00 PM EST.

There is no cost to participate in the webinar. Please feel free to register by clicking on the button below:

New NSF Research Security Training Modules

NSF has launched four interactive online research security training modules, now available to researchers and institutions across the U.S. These modules are designed to facilitate principled international collaboration in an open, transparent and secure environment that safeguards the nation's research ecosystem.

Fueled by the "CHIPS and Science Act of 2022," these training modules signify a major first step in reconciling the needs of the research, law enforcement and intelligence communities to pursue trusted relationships in the global research community while minimizing economic and security risks. They provide researchers with clear guidelines and effective strategies to protect against existing and emerging research security threats. The modules also reinforce NSF's commitment to President Biden's priorities to strengthen protections of U.S. government-supported research as outlined in the National Security Presidential Memorandum-33.

MODULES:

Module 1: Introduction to Research Security

Module 2: The Importance of Disclosure

Module 3: Manage and Mitigate Risk

Module 4: The Importance of International Collaboration

These training modules can be taken online, and users can download a completion certificate. The modules are also free to download for institutions to integrate into their learning management systems.
