SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: ‘‘U.S. National 

Science Foundation Proposal/Award 

Information—NSF Proposal and Award 

Policies and Procedures Guide.’’ 

OMB Approval Number: 3145–0058. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

November 30, 2026. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to extend with revision an 

information collection for three years. 

The primary purpose of this revision is 

to update the U.S. NSF Proposal and 

Award Policies and Procedures Guide 

(PAPPG) to incorporate mandated 

statutory, regulatory, National Science 

and Technology Council (NSTC), 

Executive Order, and policy-related 

changes and clarifications of language. 

The draft NSF PAPPG is now available 

for your review and consideration on 

the NSF website at https://www.nsf.gov/ 

bfa/dias/policy/. To facilitate review, 

revised text has been highlighted in 

yellow throughout the document to 

identify significant changes. A brief 

comment explanation of the change also 

is provided. 

Proposed Project: The National 

Science Foundation Act of 1950 (Pub. L. 

81–507) sets forth NSF’s mission and 

purpose: 

‘‘To promote the progress of science; 

to advance the national health, 

prosperity, and welfare; to secure the 

national defense. . . .’’ 

The Act authorized and directed NSF 

to initiate and support: 

• Basic scientific research and 

research fundamental to the engineering 

process; 

• Programs to strengthen scientific 

and engineering research potential; 

• Science and engineering education 

programs at all levels and in all the 

various fields of science and 

engineering; 

• Programs that provide a source of 

information for policy formulation; and 

• Other activities to promote these 

ends. 

NSF’s core purpose resonates clearly 

in everything it does: promoting 

achievement and progress in science 

and engineering and enhancing the 

potential for research and education to 

contribute to the Nation. While NSF’s 

vision of the future and the mechanisms 

it uses to carry out its charges have 

evolved significantly over the last six 

decades, its ultimate mission remains 

the same. 

Use of the Information: The regular 

submission of proposals to the 

Foundation is part of the collection of 

information and is used to help NSF 

fulfill this responsibility by initiating 

and supporting merit-selected research 

and education projects in all the 

scientific and engineering disciplines. 

NSF receives more than 40,000 

proposals annually for new projects and 

makes approximately 10,500 financial 

assistance awards, including grants and 

cooperative agreements. 

NSF funding is primarily made 

through issuance of grants, cooperative 

agreements awarded to approximately 

3,000 institutions of higher education, 

non-profit organizations, tribal nations, 

for-profit organizations, and state and 

local governments. The awards are 

based primarily on the merit review of 

proposals submitted to the Foundation. 

Burden on the Public: The Foundation 

estimates that an average of 120 hours 

is expended for each proposal 

submitted. An estimated 40,000 

proposals are expected to be received 

during the course of one year for a total 

of 4,800,000 public burden hours 

annually. 

Comments: Comments are invited on 

(a) whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information on respondents, 

including through the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.
