Dear Colleagues:<br>
<br>
Based on feedback from the community, NSF has made a
number of improvements to the NSF-approved formats for
the biographical sketch and current and pending support
sections of proposals. As a reminder, in accordance with
the <a
href="https://na.eventscloud.com/emarketing/go.php?i=768615&e=c2NsaWZmb3JkQHdob2kuZWR1&l=https://nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp|Q|ods_key|E|nsf20001"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true"><em>Proposal
and Award Policies and Procedures Guide</em></a><em></em>
(PAPPG) (NSF 20-1), these formats will be required for
proposals submitted or due on or after June 1, 2020. NSF
also has updated the websites for the <a
href="https://na.eventscloud.com/emarketing/go.php?i=768615&e=c2NsaWZmb3JkQHdob2kuZWR1&l=https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/biosketch.jsp"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">Biographical
Sketch</a> and <a

target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">Current and
Pending Support </a>to further inform the community
about these improvements, including updated Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs).<br>
<br>
<u><strong>Biographical Sketch Improvements</strong></u>:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Permit use of<font color="#0000ff"> “et al”</font>
for publication citations in the Products section in
the event that listing multiple authors makes it
difficult to fit the information into the allotted
space (NSF fillable format and SciENcv format);</li>
<li>Increased space for the Products section by removing
instructional text. Links added to relevant PAPPG
sections (NSF fillable format);</li>
<li>Removed the requirement to include the NSF ID (NSF
fillable format); and</li>
<li>Added a version date to the document (NSF fillable
format).</li>
</ul>
<p><u><strong>Current and Pending Support Improvements</strong></u>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Increased the number of Project/Proposal entries
from <font color="#0000ff">10 to 15 </font>to
support the majority of proposals submitted to NSF
(NSF fillable format);</li>
<li>Updated the Award Number field to allow entry of
both numbers and letters (NSF fillable format and
SciENcv format);</li>
<li>Replaced the “Calendar Year” label with “Year” to be
consistent with PAPPG guidance (NSF fillable format
and SciENcv format); </li>
<li>Removed the requirement to include the NSF ID (NSF
fillable format); and</li>
<li>Added a version date to the document (NSF fillable
format).<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>We look forward to you continued suggestions and
improvements. Please continue to provide comments to <a
