Good morning....we've received an update from NSF regarding PAPPG 19-1. Joan ==================== Due to the recent lapse in appropriations, implementation of the revised NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nsf.gov%2Fpublications%2Fpub_summ.jsp%3Fods_key%3Dnsf19001&data=02%7C01%7Cj.cyr%40northeastern.edu%7Cca03131abc5f4e40dfde08d691fd2fdf%7Ca8eec281aaa34daeac9b9a398b9215e7%7C0%7C1%7C636856913947206296&sdata=%2BtHLBZvABwFq3BICIoBEsSMU9bYeD%2BD76owXHKG40Qc%3D&reserved=0> (PAPPG), (NSF 19-1) was postponed. We are pleased to announce that the revised PAPPG will now be effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after February 25, 2019. Significant changes include: * Addition of Research.gov as an option for proposal preparation and submission, and proposal file updates; * Revision of eligibility standards for unaffiliated individuals; * Specification that conference proposals over $50,000 and all equipment proposals must include the Collaborators and Other Affiliations information in the proposal submission; * Revision of resubmission guidelines for NSF programs that accept proposals at any time; * Implementation of NSF's policy on sexual harassment and other forms of harassment, or sexual assault; * Specification that proposers are required to have a policy or code-of-conduct that addresses sexual harassment, other forms of harassment, and sexual assault, and that includes clear and accessible means of reporting violations of the policy or code-of-conduct. This policy or code-of-conduct must be disseminated to conference participants prior to attendance at the conference as well as made available at the conference itself; * Emphasis on the importance of training faculty in the responsible and ethical conduct of research; * Incorporation of existing patent policy into the PAPPG. This policy was previously implemented by regulation at 45 CFR 650; 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. To learn about the changes in the revised PAPPG (NSF 19-1), please view the latest NSF Proposal & Award Policy Update webinar<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnsfgrantsconferences.com%2F2018%2F12%2F19%2Fpappg-webcast19%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cj.cyr%40northeastern.edu%7Cca03131abc5f4e40dfde08d691fd2fdf%7Ca8eec281aaa34daeac9b9a398b9215e7%7C0%7C1%7C636856913947216305&sdata=tgBxP7d2TuqMHkV5xMkh7dyLzJ5QnxSNvfHLT43ghM4%3D&reserved=0>. While this version of the PAPPG becomes effective on February 25, 2019, in the interim, the guidelines contained in the current PAPPG (NSF 18-1) 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. Associated award terms and conditions (including RTC NSF Agency Specific Requirements, GC-1, and FL-26<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nsf.gov%2Fawards%2Fmanaging%2Faward_conditions.jsp%3Forg%3DNSF&data=02%7C01%7Cj.cyr%40northeastern.edu%7Cca03131abc5f4e40dfde08d691fd2fdf%7Ca8eec281aaa34daeac9b9a398b9215e7%7C0%7C1%7C636856913947216305&sdata=2%2FQunnrRZc3gr4Yxofj8MxyCYcx6AvS2WcHJOve%2BLUQ%3D&reserved=0>) will also be effective for proposals submitted or due, on or after, February 25, 2019.
