[Flex] NEW GRANT PROPOSAL GUIDE NSF 15-1

[Sheila Clifford]

*Dear Flex-ers**:**
**
**Woohoo!  A new GPG!  It will go into effect Dec 26.**
**
**Lots of changes "above my paygrade", but in a really fast lookover, I 
did notice that there is a sniggly addition to the biosketch:*

*Chapter II.C.2.f, Biographical Sketch(es)*,makes clear that including 
personal information in the biographical sketch is not appropriate nor 
is it relevant to the merits of the proposal. New information is being 
requested in Section II.C.2.f(i)(a), Professional Preparation. The 
location of the individual's undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral 
institution(s) must be provided. Section II.C.2.f(i)(e) *clarifies that 
the total number of collaborators and co-editors, and graduate advisors 
and postdoctoral sponsors, must be identified* in the appropriate areas 
in the Collaborators & Other Affiliations section. In addition, where 
applicable,information on "Other Personnel" biographical information 
(Section II.C.2.f.(ii)) should be clearly identified and uploaded in the 
Biosketches section of the proposal.

*I don't think that we had had to enumerate the collaborators before*!

*Also, I saw this:*

*Chapter II.C.2.d(iii), Results from Prior NSF Support*, has been 
clarified to state that the listing of publications resulting from an 
NSF award must provide a complete bibliographic citation for each 
publication *in either* the Results from Prior NSF Support sectionor in 
the References Cited section of the proposal.

*That will make my PIs happy!*

*Also:*

*Chapter II.C.2.d, Project Description*, has been updated to reflect 
that the project description must now contain, as a separate section 
within the narrative, a section labeled "Broader Impacts of the Proposed 
Work".

*I thought this had been a requirement..? However, maybe now it is more 
of a mandate?  Anyway, I'm sure there is much more.  I just wanted to 
get this out there for your reading pleasure.

Sheila
