Dear Colleagues:
We are pleased to announce the availability of both NSF-approved formats
for the Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending Support sections of
National Science Foundation (NSF) proposals that fall under the revised
/Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide/
<https://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf20001&org=NSF>
(PAPPG) (NSF 20-1) (see the February 6, 2020 webinar
<https://www.nsfpolicyoutreach.com/resources/2-20-pappg-webinar/> for
complete details on all revisions to the PAPPG).
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.
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.
_NSF-approved Formats_
* *_SciENcv_*: NSF has partnered with the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) to use SciENcv: Science Experts Network Curriculum
Vitae <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sciencv/> as an NSF-approved
format for use in preparation of both the Biographical Sketch and
Current and Pending Support sections of an NSF proposal. SciENcv
will produce an NSF-compliant PDF version of the documents which
proposers can save and submit as part of their proposals via
FastLane, Research.gov or Grants.gov. Additional information about
the NSF-approved SciENcv formats is available on the NSF
biographical sketch
<https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/biosketch.jsp> and current and
pending support <https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/cps.jsp> websites.
The SciENcv tool integrates with ORCID, enabling proposers to populate
their Biographical Sketches by importing data directly from their ORCID
records rather than having to manually enter all the required
information. Additionally, Biographical Sketch data maintained in
SciENcv can be quickly and easily updated on an ongoing basis for
subsequent proposal submissions.
* *_NSF Fillable PDF_*: NSF is also providing a fillable PDF as an
NSF-approved format for use to prepare both the Biographical Sketch
and Current and Pending Support sections of an NSF proposal.
Proposers can download the respective fillable PDF form from the NSF
biographical sketch
<https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/biosketch.jsp> and current and
pending support <https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/cps.jsp>
websites and then submit the completed forms as part of their
proposals via FastLane, Research.gov or Grants.gov. Note that the
NSF fillable PDF for the Biographical Sketch does not integrate with
ORCID.
It is important to note that *beginning June 1, 2020*, proposers will be
required to use one of the NSF-approved formats for both the
Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending Support sections of NSF
proposals. Proposals submitted via FastLane, Research.gov and Grants.gov
will be compliance checked to ensure that the documents were prepared in
accordance with this new policy.
_We Want Your Feedback_
Although not required for proposal submission until June 1, 2020, we
hope that you will start using the NSF-approved formats for Biographical
Sketch and Current and Pending Support as soon as possible. If you have
any feedback that would help us make improvements to the two formats in
the future, please let us know. Feedback may be submitted by email to
policy at nsf.gov <mailto:policy at nsf.gov> or via the Research.gov Feedback
<https://www.research.gov/research-portal/appmanager/base/desktop?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=research_home_page&_eventName=research_feedback_event>
page (select “Biographical Sketch” or "Current & Pending Support" under
the Site Area dropdown menu).

_Upcoming Webinars_
To assist the community about these new requirements and to start using
SciENcv now, NSF and NIH are planning to conduct a joint webinar that
will include a walk-through of how to prepare the Biographical Sketch
and Current and Pending Support documents in SciENcv. Information will
be provided as soon as it is available, and we encourage you to sign up
for notifications <https://www.nsfpolicyoutreach.com/get-notified/>_._
We also invite you to participate in the next NSF Electronic Research
Administration (ERA) Forum
<https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/era_forum.jsp> on *May 14, 2020 at
1:00PM – 2:30PM EDT* where we will discuss the NSF-approved format
requirements, as well as the new capability to prepare and submit
separately submitted collaborative proposals in Research.gov. To sign up
for ERA Forum notifications including registration availability for the
May 14 event, please send a blank email to
NSF-ERA-FORUM-subscribe-request at listserv.nsf.gov
<mailto:NSF-ERA-FORUM-subscribe-request at listserv.nsf.gov>and you will be
automatically enrolled. __
