AST Proposal Deadline Dates
NEW NSF PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS
NSF has published a revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) NSF 09-1,
that establishes important new proposal requirements on postdoctoral mentoring that will affect most Principal Investigators. NSF 09-1 will be effective for proposals received on or after
January 5, 2009. We urge all PIs considering applying to NSF to review the new PAPPG carefully. Failure to meet these new requirements
will result in proposals being returned without review. Additional information can be found by clicking here.

General information for Principal Investigators can be found by clicking here.
Additional information for submitting proposals can also be found in the Grant Proposal Guide.
