<i>Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide</i></a> (PAPPG) (NSF 20-1) for proposals submitted or due on or after this date. The revised PAPPG implements a variety of changes and clarifications, the highest profile of which requires use of an NSF-approved
format for the preparation of the biographical sketch and current and pending support.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing stress on proposers, the research community has not been able to adequately prepare and train their staff for the implementation of the new requirements.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">NSF has therefore made the decision to delay the requirement to use NSF-approved formats for the
