Comment on Proposed Revisions to NSF’s Proposal and Award Policies Guide

The National Science Foundation has revised its Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG), the document that details NSF’s grantmaking process. Before the revised document becomes final, NSF invites psychological scientists and others to comment on the policy-related changes and language clarifications proposed.

Psychological scientists who are interested in reading the revisions to the PAPPG and learning how to comment should visit NSF’s posting to the Federal Register, accessible by clicking here. Click here to view a PDF draft of the proposed PAPPG revision.

According to the announcement, NSF invites comments that address whether the information collected by the procedures listed in the PAPPG are necessary, ways to reduce the burden of NSF grant policies, and related topics.

Comments are due by July 29, 2019.
