The new PAPPG (NSF 20-1) will go into effect on June 1, 2020. However due to the disruption caused by COVID-19 in doing proper outreach and training on the new requirements for the Biographical Sketch, and Current and Pending documents, the requirement to use NSF approved generation tools has been delayed to October 1, 2020.
NSF will continue to implement all other changes to the PAPPG beginning June 1, 2020, including the following:
- New requirement for proposing organizations to submit government-wide representations and certifications in the System for Award Management (SAM);
- New requirement for providing e-mail documentation of Program Officer approval for the submission of RAPID and EAGER proposals; and
- Clarifications to current and pending support coverage as well as other changes throughout the document.
