The National Science Foundation (NSF) has published a revised version of the
NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (NSF 08-1), which will
be effective for proposals received on or after January 5, 2008. The new
publication can be accessed at: http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_sum.jsp?ods_key=papp.
Several important changes have been made to the Guide. Among them is a
revision to the intellectual merit review criterion. The criterion now
specifically includes evaluation of proposals for potentially transformative
concepts.
The revised Guide contains an update to the designated fonts that may be
used when preparing an NSF proposal. The updated proposal margin and spacing
requirements section in Chapter II.B.2 of the Grant Proposal Guide can be
accessed at: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/policydocs/pappguide/nsf08_1/gpg_2.jsp#IIB2.
If you have any questions regarding the revised NSF Proposal & Award
Policies & Procedures Guide, please contact the Policy Office at (703)
292-8243 or by email, policy@nsf.gov.
