Updates to Existing Proposal & Award Policy-related Guidance

Dear Colleagues:

The Foundation has made updates to the following guidance on the NSF website based on inquiries that we are receiving from the community:

• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on NSF’s Implementation of OMB Memorandum M-20-26;
• FAQs on Current & Pending Support; and
• NSF-approved Formats for the Biographical Sketch website.

Updated guidance includes clarifications on professional appointments, research endeavors, principal investigators working outside the U.S. for an extended period of time, and reporting on in-kind support and outside consulting activities.

Please direct any questions to policy@nsf.gov.

Best,
Jean
