Dear Colleague:
Effective November 22, 2021, the National Science Foundation (NSF)
enhanced the Research.gov Proposal Submission System, NSF Public Access
Repository, and NSF.gov Award Search. Here's what to know.
*Research.gov Proposal Submission System Enhancements*
**
·Preliminary proposals and full proposals related to a preliminary
proposal are now supported in Research.gov. The program solicitation
will clearly state whether Research.gov is available for submission.**
·Program solicitations that permit a Project Description to exceed 15
pages are now supported in Research.gov. Proposers must follow the
Project Description page limit requirements in the program solicitation.
Proposers also should be aware that page limit requirements in a
solicitation may vary by track or program. For a program solicitation
that does not include Project Description page limit instructions,
follow the guidance in the /Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures
Guide/ <https://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf22001>
(PAPPG) (NSF 22-1).
·Center and Research Infrastructure proposal types are also now
available for submission in Research.gov.**
·New automated compliance checks and associated error and warning
messages for the newly enabled proposal and submission types were also
implemented. Error messages will prohibit proposal submission to NSF,
whereas warning messages still permit proposal submission. Visit the
Automated Compliance Checking of NSF Proposals
<https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/autocompliance.jsp> page to view
the current compliance checks for Research.gov proposals.
·All supported proposal and submission types and the associated
compliance checks are also in the Research.gov Proposal Preparation Demo
Site. See the demo site frequently asked questions (FAQs) on the
Research.gov About Proposal Preparation and Submission
<https://www.research.gov/research-portal/appmanager/base/desktop?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=research_node_display&_nodePath=/researchGov/Service/Desktop/ProposalPreparationandSubmission.html>
page for information on demo site access and features.
·New FAQs were added to the Research.gov About Proposal Preparation and
Submission
<https://www.research.gov/research-portal/appmanager/base/desktop?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=research_node_display&_nodePath=/researchGov/Service/Desktop/ProposalPreparationandSubmission.html>page
for the above-referenced enhancements, and the Proposal Submission
Capabilities
<https://www.research.gov/research-portal/appmanager/base/desktop?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=research_node_display&_nodePath=/researchGov/Service/Desktop/ProposalPreparationandSubmission.html#capabilities>
page has been updated to reflect the latest development updates.
·NSF is transitioning all proposal preparation and submission from
FastLane to Research.gov by a target date of *December 31, 2022*. NSF
funding opportunities are being enabled in Research.gov as new
functionality is added, and FastLane will continue to be incrementally
removed from funding opportunities as a submission option through
December 31, 2022. We invite you to join our System Updates listserv to
stay updated on the transition by sending a blank email to
system_updates-subscribe-request at listserv.nsf.gov
<mailto:system_updates-subscribe-request at listserv.nsf.gov>.

*NSF Public Access Repository (NSF-PAR) Enhancements*
**
* NSF-PAR functionality has expanded with the ability for Principal
Investigators (PIs) and co-PIs to include NSF-funded datasets in the
PAR and associate them with NSF Award IDs as part of a PAR 2.0 pilot.
* The implementation of PAR 1.0 focused on articles in peer-reviewed
scholarly journals and papers in juried conference proceedings. PAR
2.0 is the next stage of a phased implementation adding the
capability for public access to datasets by enabling researchers to
auto-populate metadata for reposited datasets by means of Digital
Object Identifiers (DOIs). NSF-PAR only stores the metadata and DOI
and not the dataset itself in the repository.
* Dataset reporting in NSF project reports remains optional and adding
datasets to the NSF-PAR is currently *voluntary*. Automatic
population of NSF-PAR datasets into NSF project reports will be
enabled in the Research.gov Project Reporting System in 2022.
*_There are no changes at this time to NSF’s Public Access policy or
project reporting requirements._*
* Training resources including how-to guides with step-by-step
instructions on how to associate datasets to NSF Award IDs in
NSF-PAR and manage products are available on the Research.gov About
Public Access
<https://www.research.gov/research-portal/appmanager/base/desktop?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=research_node_display&_nodePath=/researchGov/Service/Desktop/AboutPublicAccess.html>
page. Information about the NSF Public Access Initiative including
FAQs is available on the NSF Public Access Initiative
<https://beta.nsf.gov/public-access> page.
* The PAR 2.0 pilot is anticipated to continue through calendar year
2022. Although not required, we hope that you will start including
research datasets in PAR and associating them to NSF Award IDs as
soon as possible. NSF is very interested in your feedback during the
pilot to help us make improvements before any changes are made to
the Public Access policy and project reporting requirements in the
future. Feedback may be submitted by email to publicaccess at nsf.gov
<mailto:publicaccess at nsf.gov>.
*NSF.gov Award Search Enhancements*
**
* NSF has added a predefined "American Rescue Plan Awards" search to
the features of Award Search <https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/> to
quickly and easily identify NSF awards that include funding from the
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
* To access and use the new predefined American Rescue Plan search:
o Open the Award Search <https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/> link;
o Select the "Popular Searches" tab on the top navigation bar; and
o Click the predefined "American Rescue Plan Awards" search option.
* American Rescue Fund search results can be viewed in text or table
formats and are sortable by eight key fields. In addition, the
search results can be exported and downloaded, and can be further
refined by state, NSF organization, and other fields. Please refer
to the Overview of Search Features
<https://www.nsf.gov/awards/award-search-guide.jsp> for additional
details.
*Questions?* If you have IT system-related questions regarding any of
these enhancements, please contact the NSF Help Desk at 1-800-381-1532
(7:00 AM - 9:00 PM ET; Monday - Friday except federal holidays) or to
rgov at nsf.gov <mailto:rgov at nsf.gov>. Policy-related questions should be
directed to policy at nsf.gov <mailto:policy at nsf.gov>.
Regards,
National Science Foundation**
