NSF has also taken feedback and made some changes to these documents: 

Biographical Sketch Improvements:

• Permit use of “et al” for publication citations in the Products section in the event that listing multiple authors makes it difficult to fit the information into the allotted space (NSF fillable format and SciENcv format);
• Increased space for the Products section by removing instructional text. Links added to relevant PAPPG sections (NSF fillable format);
• Removed the requirement to include the NSF ID (NSF fillable format); and
• Added a version date to the document (NSF fillable format).

Current and Pending Support Improvements:

• Increased the number of Project/Proposal entries from 10 to 15 to support the majority of proposals submitted to NSF (NSF fillable format);
• Updated the Award Number field to allow entry of both numbers and letters (NSF fillable format and SciENcv format);
• Replaced the “Calendar Year” label with “Year” to be consistent with PAPPG guidance (NSF fillable format and SciENcv format);
• Removed the requirement to include the NSF ID (NSF fillable format); and
• Added a version date to the document (NSF fillable format).

We recommend that any PI planning to submit to NSF after June 1, 2020 take some time to go the approved NSF systems and ensure you are able to use them.  Any questions you may have can be directed to your OSP manager and specialist who will be happy to help.

No matter our situation, we can always change the way we look at it and often times this simple shift allows us to see things differently. Let's not forget grit and greatness...this is how we identify ourselves collectively. How might this mantra serve us now? Keep hanging in there...we will move through this together!
