Important Changes in the NSF Proposal Process
This email is being sent to inform you of the changes made in the revised NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide
(PAPPG), NSF 13-1 and issued on October 4, 2012. These changes apply to all proposals that are being submitted with deadlines on or after January 14, 2013. The changes are below:

1. The project summary requires three distinct sections: 1) an overview, 2) intellectual merit statement, and 3) broader impact statement. Beginning around January 11, the process to input the summary will change from uploading a one-page Word document to inputting the information into three text boxes within FastLane.

2. The new Guide requires that each proposal have a separate section that deals with broader impacts. PIs should include the separate Broader Impact Section in whatever location of the proposal narrative that makes the most sense. It should be concise and refer to other parts of the narrative as needed.

The link to the PAPPG NSF 13-1 is http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/policydocs/pappguide/nsf13001/gpg_index.jsp?WT.mc_id=USNSF_109.

For additional information and resources about the revised merit review criteria visit http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/merit_review/resources.jsp.

UK researchers with questions about preparing proposal narratives according to the new guidelines should contact the Proposal Development Office at 859-257-2861 or proposal@email.uky.edu.
