Fri, 22 May 2020 12:04:41 -0400

The new PAPPG (NSF 20-1) will go into effect on June 1, 2020. However due to the disruption caused by COVID-19 in doing proper outreach and training on the new requirements for the Biographical Sketch, and Current and Pending documents, the requirement to use NSF approved generation tools has been delayed to October 1, 2020.

NSF will continue to implement all other changes to the PAPPG beginning June 1, 2020, including the following:

New requirement for proposing organizations to submit government-wide representations and certifications in the System for Award Management (SAM);

New requirement for providing e-mail documentation of Program Officer approval for the submission of RAPID and EAGER proposals; and

Clarifications to current and pending support coverage as well as other changes throughout the document.

Webinars covering the use of NSF-approved formats as well as all of the significant changes to the PAPPG are available on the NSF Policy Outreach website.

If you have any questions regarding the changes with the new PAPPG please reach out to your OSP manager or specialist and they will be happy to assist.
