<p class="MsoNormal">I attached The COA FAQs which has verbiage that might help (fingers crossed). In the top portion, it instructs users not to vary from what is required

<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt">Hi everyone,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt">I am working on an NSF lead proposal with 2 subawards. one of the subs has sent me their C&P's using the NSF template. They uploaded to fastlane with no problem at all, but they have added pages at the end of the template
in a section called current and pending addendum "to provide the scope and delineation of research" for each of the projects on their C&P.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt">Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? I do need some ammunition when speaking to them because they are not very helpful, and I've scoured the PAPPG, C&P instruction and C&P FAQ, proposal checklist, etc and can't
find what I need which is the instruction not to add information that hasn't been requested.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt">Any thoughts welcome</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt">Thanks,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
