<br>
Sorry if this is old news, but the new NSF PPG (19-1) is out, and
looks - to me - to become active on Jan 28, 2019:<br>

I haven't gone through it carefully to see if there are significant
changes for us. I would note that they seem to want us to trim down
the "Synergistic Activities" on Biosketches:<br>
<br>
<font color="#3333ff">A list of up to five distinct examples that
demonstrate the broader impact of the individual's professional
and scholarly activities that focuses on the integration and
transfer of knowledge as well as its creation. Examples should be
specific and could include, among others: innovations in teaching
and training (e.g., development of curricular materials and
pedagogical methods); contributions to the science of learning;
development and/or refinement of research tools; computation
methodologies and algorithms for problem-solving; development of
databases to support research and education; broadening the
participation of groups underrepresented in STEM; and service to
the scientific and engineering community outside of the
individual’s immediate organization.</font> <font color="#ff0000"><b>Examples
