NSF’s Implementation of the NSTC-Approved Common Forms

April 26, 2024

Announcement: The National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced that the NSTC-approved Common Forms for the Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support which are compliant with the new NSF Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 24-1), are now available in SciENcv. Major changes to the Biographical Sketch include reformatting so that the 3-page limit is removed and Synergistic Activities are listed in a separate document. These revised formats will be required for proposals submitted or due on or after May 20, 2024. While these revised formats cannot be uploaded in Research.gov or Grants.gov until May 20, 2024, NSF encourages proposers to become familiar with them in preparation for proposal submissions in May.

The Department of Contracts and Grants (DCG) will be offering live training on the changes to the NSF Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 24-1) on Friday, May 10th, 3:00 – 4:00 @ https://usc.zoom.us/j/3436532845. 

We hope you can join us!
