<p class="MsoNormal">Although use of an NSF-approved
format for submission of these proposal sections is
not required until implementation of the revised PAPPG
(NSF 20-1) on June 1, 2020, NSF is encouraging
proposers to begin using the NSF-approved formats now.
NSF values the feedback from the research community,
and we would like to hear about your experience with
the new NSF-approved formats. Information about how to
provide feedback is included below.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Use of an NSF-approved format aims
to reduce administrative burden and improve
efficiencies by providing proposers with a compliant
and reusable way to maintain this information for
subsequent proposal submissions to NSF, while also
ensuring that the information is submitted in a
standard and searchable composition.<o:p></o:p></p>
