<i>Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide</i> (PAPPG) (<a href="https://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf22001">NSF 22-1</a>) will be available to preview by September 17, 2021.

<a href="https://beta.nsf.gov/">beta.nsf.gov</a> platform, we are not simply moving existing content from nsf.gov to the new site. Rather, the new website will improve how information is presented for use by various audiences including prospective proposers,
grantees, and the general public. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Based on feedback from the research community and NSF Program Officers, NSF has incorporated functionality as of August 30, 2021, in FastLane and Grants.gov to remove any pages which do not contain data entered by
users (i.e., blank pages) from the NSF-approved current and pending support fillable PDF. This trimming functionality will be integrated in Research.gov on October 4, 2021, in coordination with implementation of the revised PAPPG (<a href="https://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf22001">NSF
22-1</a>) for proposals submitted in Research.gov and project reports submitted in the Research.gov Project Reporting System.

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The trimming service only applies to the NSF-approved current and pending support fillable PDF and not to any other uploaded PDFs. Current and pending support PDFs generated in SciENcv do not include blank pages.

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The current and pending support fillable PDF document is paginated, and the PDF page numbers will not be updated during the trimming process. This means that it is possible for the trimmed PDF to have skipped page
numbers corresponding to the blank pages removed from the fillable PDF. NSF Program Officers are aware of this potential occurrence in proposals submitted to NSF.
