===============================================

Dear Colleagues:
We are pleased to announce that a revised version of the NSF
 Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.nsf.gov_publications_pub-5Fsumm.jsp-3Fods-5Fkey-3Dnsf18001&d=DwMGaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=x2H5_y5sYCstJk6kSkTsMKGAf-9gGa6G3Vl05S1apHSlPUVvQWInqkOq1Scvem9E&m=ZXVwlwV79i7CuDkDkAQa9JWf6Kfly-hqFB-ukBNEkqg&s=AgSpXZjX1KgRaOINo3qyN7vTfe52b8QJdK-d8oZ_s5E&e=> (PAPPG), (NSF 18-1) has been issued.
The new PAPPG will be effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 29, 2018.
Significant changes include:


  *   Addition of a new eligibility subcategory on international branch campuses of U.S. Institutions of Higher Education;
  *   Revision of eligibility standards for foreign organizations;
  *   Implementation of the standard Collaborators and Other Affiliations (COA) template that has been in pilot phase since April;
  *   Increase in the Budget Justification page limitation from three pages to five pages;
  *   Restructuring of coverage on grantee notifications to and requests for approval from NSF, including referral to the Prior Approval Matrix<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nsf.gov_awards_managing_rtc.jsp&d=DwMGaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=x2H5_y5sYCstJk6kSkTsMKGAf-9gGa6G3Vl05S1apHSlPUVvQWInqkOq1Scvem9E&m=ZXVwlwV79i7CuDkDkAQa9JWf6Kfly-hqFB-ukBNEkqg&s=V8uHSx15-igN-ALtNcktPOSobe46bwfJ88U7PRUEw7I&e=> available on the NSF website; and
  *   Numerous clarifications and other changes throughout the document.

You are encouraged to review the by-chapter summary of changes provided in the Introduction section of the PAPPG.
A webinar to brief the community on the new PAPPG will be held on December 8 at 1 PM CST.  Sign up to be notified when registration is available on the outreach notifications website<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nsfgrantsconferences.com_get-2Dnotified_&d=DwMGaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=x2H5_y5sYCstJk6kSkTsMKGAf-9gGa6G3Vl05S1apHSlPUVvQWInqkOq1Scvem9E&m=ZXVwlwV79i7CuDkDkAQa9JWf6Kfly-hqFB-ukBNEkqg&s=-xP7X12SmHZ7C6qkf2hI_lSWRF8LzAn7IIQYc-PW7XA&e=>, by selecting “All NSF Grants and Policy Outreach Events & Notifications.”

While this version of the PAPPG becomes effective on January 29, 2018, in the interim, the guidelines contained in the current PAPPG (NSF 17-1) continue to apply.  We will ensure that the current version of the PAPPG remains on the NSF website, with a notation to proposers that specifies when the new PAPPG (including a link to the new Guide) will become effective.
If you have any questions regarding these changes, please contact the Policy Office on (703) 292-8243 or by e-mail to policy at nsf.gov<mailto:policy at nsf.gov>.

Jean Feldman
