The new Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG) 22-1 was released and became effective for proposals submitted or due, and awards made, on or after October 4, 2021.
To assist the UF community, we have highlighted some of the key changes HERE, and have included a few of these policy changes below for reference. You are encouraged to review the by-chapter summary of changes provided in the Introduction section of the PAPPG.
NSF has provided a useful table in support of the changes. See: NSF Pre-award and Post-award Disclosures Relating to the Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending Support
