> This week, NSF announced a revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG; NSF 15-1) which includes the Grant Proposal Guide that you use to prepare your proposals. Some of these revisions have been mandated by the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as part of the largest government-wide change to Federal grants policy in over 30 years. As mandated by OMB, the new PAPPG will be effective December 26, 2014. Other revisions incorporate significant NSF-specific changes and clarifications, including:
>   
> ·        Acknowledgement of the implementation of NSF's new financial system (iTRAK);
> ·        Addition of an NSF electronic capabilities modernization status matrix to assist the community as NSF transitions our electronic capabilities to Research.gov;
> ·        Additional compliance checking regarding the type of proposal mechanism used;
> ·        Expansion of the budget justification section to reflect that each subaward must include a separate budget justification of no more than three pages;
> ·        New coverage on the Ideas Lab funding mechanism;
> ·        Description of new prior approval requirements; and
> ·        Numerous clarifications throughout the document.
