The National Science Foundation has published a revision to the NSF
Grant Proposal Guide (GPG) (NSF 04-2) that is effective for proposals
submitted on or after October 1, 2003. This document supercedes all
prior versions of the GPG and is accessible at
http://www.nsf.gov/pubsys/ods/getpub.cfm?gpg.
This revision implements an increase in the threshold for proposals
submitted to the Small Grants for Exploratory Research (SGER) Program
and slightly revises the types of research supported by SGER.
Previously, the maximum SGER award amount was $100,000; the new maximum
SGER award amount is $200,000. The duration of the award will normally
be one year, but may be up to two years. Please see the full text of the
revised GPG for further details.
The Grant Proposal Guide (GPG) provides guidance for the preparation and
submission of proposals to NSF. Some NSF programs have program
solicitations that modify the general provisions of this Guide, and, in
such cases, the guidelines provided in the solicitation must be
followed. Contact with NSF program personnel prior to proposal
preparation is encouraged.
The GPG is available electronically on the NSF Website. Organizations or
individuals unable to access the GPG electronically may order paper
copies (maximum of 5 per request) by phoning the NSF Publications
Clearinghouse at (301) 947-2722 or sending a request to pubs [at] nsf.gov or
the NSF Publications Clearinghouse, P.O. Box 218, Jessup, MD 20794-0218.
Please address any questions or comments regarding the GPG to the Policy
Office, Division of Grants & Agreements at (703) 292-8243 or by e-mail
to policy [at] nsf.gov.
