The
National Science Foundation (NSF) has issued a new version of the Proposal
& Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG),
(NSF 14-1). The PAPPG consists of the (1) Grant Proposal
Guide (GPG) for guidance on the preparation and submission of proposals to
NSF and (2) Award & Administration Guide (AAG) to guide, manage, and
monitor the award and administration of grants and cooperative agreements made
by NSF. Summaries of the significant changes are attached for reference.
This new version of the PAPPG will be effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after February 24, 2014. In the interim, the guidelines contained in the current PAPPG (NSF 13-1) continue to apply.

OSPA
is in the process of evaluating these updates. Any affected campus procedures
will be revised, with a separate announcement outlining the changes to follow.
Please contact me should you have questions in the meantime.
As
a follow-up to the note below, OSPA submitted an institutional response to NSF
on Friday regarding the anticipated new PAPPG. Upon careful review with a
number of campus offices, we found that most revisions will be helpful
clarifications, specifically related to proposal preparation and submission and
updates on reporting requirements and financial payments. We took special note
of the proposed new requirements for environmental compliance and will watch
for how those are ultimately implemented.
NSF intends to release the new PAPPG in October 2013, with an anticipated effective date of January 2014. OSPA will send notice to the Grants Community of that release and any additional information we receive between now and then.
