Dear University Business and Grant Administrators, Please find below a message from NSF regarding the roll out of a new NSF PAPPG effective starting 1/29/2018. As is NSFs practice there is a nice list of the significant changes and clarifications for ease in knowing these updates at the beginning of the document. "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=nsf18001> (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://nsf.gov/awards/managing/rtc.jsp> 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 2 PM EST. Sign up to be notified when registration is available on the outreach notifications website<https://nsfgrantsconferences.com/get-notified/>, 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 [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
