Dear Colleagues:

We are pleased to announce that a revised version of the NSF /Proposal & 
Award Policies & Procedures Guide 
<https://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf22001&org=NSF>/ 
(PAPPG) (NSF 22-1) has been issued.

The new PAPPG will be effective for *proposals submitted or due on or 
after October 4, 2021*. Significant changes include:

  * A new section covering requests for reasonable and accessibility
    accommodations regarding the proposal process or requests for
    accessibility accommodations to access NSF’s electronic systems,
    websites and other digital content;
  * A table entitled, /NSF Pre-award and Post-award Disclosures Relating
    to the Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending Support
    <https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/disclosures_table/june2021.pdf>/.
    This table identifies where pre- and post-award current and pending
    support disclosure information must be provided. Proposers and
    awardees may begin using this table immediately;
  * Increasing the page limit for the biographical sketch from two to
    three pages;
  * Updates to the current and pending support section of NSF proposals
    to require that information on objectives and overlap with other
    projects is provided to help NSF and reviewers assess
    overlap/duplication;
  * Adding planning proposals and Career-Life Balance supplemental
    funding requests as new proposal types;
  * Updates to travel proposals will require that AORs certify that
    prior to the proposer’s participation in the meeting for which NSF
    travel support is being requested, the proposer will assure that the
    meeting organizer has a written policy or code-of-conduct addressing
    harassment.

You are encouraged to review the by-chapter summary of changes provided 
in the Introduction section of the PAPPG.

NSF plans to conduct a webinar covering these changes. Visit the NSF 
policy outreach website <https://nsfpolicyoutreach.com/get-notified/> to 
sign up for notifications about this and other outreach events.

While this version of the PAPPG becomes effective on October 4, 2021, in 
the interim, the guidelines contained in the current PAPPG (NSF 20-1) 
continue to apply.

If you have any questions regarding these changes, please contact the 
DIAS/Policy Office at policy at nsf.gov <mailto:policy at nsf.gov>.
