The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is releasing a Policy Notice for its 2024 Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG). The PAPPG documents the agency's proposal and award process, which govern the management of grants and cooperative agreements.

NSF will defer release of the 26-1 version of the PAPPG, previously developed and planned for publication in Fiscal Year 2026, to ensure alignment with forthcoming Uniform Grant Guidance updates. NSF will issue policy revisions via supplemental Policy Notices in the interim.

Please refer to the full notice linked above for specific changes.

If you have questions, please contact the Office of Sponsored Programs.
