I've only dabbled in the Sciencv application - I'm happy about the CV 
pdf, but not the C&P

>>     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
