Dear Colleagues:

Based on feedback from the community, NSF has made a number of 
improvements to the NSF-approved formats for the biographical sketch and 
current and pending support sections of proposals. As a reminder, in 
accordance with the /Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide/ 
<https://na.eventscloud.com/emarketing/go.php?i=768615&e=c2NsaWZmb3JkQHdob2kuZWR1&l=https://nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp|Q|ods_key|E|nsf20001>// 
(PAPPG) (NSF 20-1), these formats will be required for proposals 
submitted or due on or after June 1, 2020. NSF also has updated the 
websites for the Biographical Sketch 
<https://na.eventscloud.com/emarketing/go.php?i=768615&e=c2NsaWZmb3JkQHdob2kuZWR1&l=https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/biosketch.jsp> 
and Current and Pending Support 
<https://na.eventscloud.com/emarketing/go.php?i=768615&e=c2NsaWZmb3JkQHdob2kuZWR1&l=https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/cps.jsp>to 
further inform the community about these improvements, including updated 
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

_*Biographical Sketch Improvements*_:

  * Permit use of“et al” for publication citations in the Products
    section in the event that listing multiple authors makes it
    difficult to fit the information into the allotted space (NSF
    fillable format and SciENcv format);
  * Increased space for the Products section by removing instructional
    text. Links added to relevant PAPPG sections (NSF fillable format);
  * Removed the requirement to include the NSF ID (NSF fillable format); and
  * Added a version date to the document (NSF fillable format).

_*Current and Pending Support Improvements*_:

  * Increased the number of Project/Proposal entries from 10 to 15 to
    support the majority of proposals submitted to NSF (NSF fillable
    format);
  * Updated the Award Number field to allow entry of both numbers and
    letters (NSF fillable format and SciENcv format);
  * Replaced the “Calendar Year” label with “Year” to be consistent with
    PAPPG guidance (NSF fillable format and SciENcv format);
  * Removed the requirement to include the NSF ID (NSF fillable format); and
  * Added a version date to the document (NSF fillable format).

We look forward to you continued suggestions and improvements. Please 
continue to provide comments to policy at nsf.gov <mailto:policy at nsf.gov>.

Jean Feldman
