Important information about NSF’s implementation of the revised 2 CFR

NSF Financial Assistance awards (grants and cooperative agreements) made on or after October 1, 2024, will be subject to the applicable set of award conditions, dated October 1, 2024, available on the NSF website. These terms and conditions are consistent with the revised guidance specified in the OMB Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance published in the Federal Register on April 22, 2024.

Important information for proposers

All proposals must be submitted in accordance with the requirements specified in this funding opportunity and in the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) that is in effect for the relevant due date to which the proposal is being submitted. It is the responsibility of the proposer to ensure that the proposal meets these requirements. Submitting a proposal prior to a specified deadline does not negate this requirement.

Help with CAREER proposal submission logistics

Representatives from NSF's Division of Information Systems held a technical webinar on system-related information to assist with CAREER proposal submission. This webinar included a review of the system-related requirements in the CAREER proposal submission timeline guidance and a demo of how to prepare a CAREER proposal in Research.gov.

Research.gov proposal training resources including FAQs by topic, how-to guides, and video tutorials are available on the Research.gov About Proposal Preparation and Submission page.

For IT system-related and technical questions, please contact the NSF Help Desk at 1-800-381-1532 (7:00 AM through 9:00 PM ET; Monday through Friday except federal holidays) or via rgov@nsf.gov.
