The Alaska NASA Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research is beginning the pre-proposal process for the FY20 cooperative agreement notice research solicitation.

NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement, in cooperation with NASA’s Mission Directorates — aeronautics research, human exploration and operations, and science — the Office of the Chief Technologist, and NASA’s 10 centers, asks for yearly research proposals through its cooperative agreement notice research solicitation. Each funded NASA EPSCoR proposal is expected to establish research activities that will make significant contributions to the strategic research and technology development priorities of one or more of the mission directorates and contribute to the overall research infrastructure, science and technology capabilities, higher education, and economic development of the jurisdiction. Through this solicitation NASA seeks to increase research funding to EPSCoR states that historically have been underfunded by NASA.

The deadline to submit a notice of intent is Alaska NASA EPSCoR’s close of business Monday, July 15.

Please see the Alaska NASA website for more information on the solicitation and pre-proposal process.

NSF Approved Biographical Sketch Format
From UAF Office of Grants & Contracts Administration

Dear Colleagues:

Please be advised that the National Science Foundation (NSF) has designated the National Institutes of Health’s SciENcv (Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae) as an NSF-approved format for submission of biographical sketch(es) and is encouraging its use to prepare a biographical sketch for inclusion in proposals to NSF. 

In accordance with the current Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 19-1), a biographical sketch (limited to two pages) is required for each individual identified as senior personnel on a proposal, and a separate biographical sketch PDF file, or other NSF-approved format, must be uploaded in FastLane for each designated individual (see PAPPG Chapter II.C.2.f.). The biographical sketch and file format requirements also apply to NSF proposals submitted through Research.gov and Grants.gov. Use of an NSF-approved format aims to reduce administrative burden and improve efficiencies by providing proposers with a compliant and reusable way to maintain this information for subsequent proposal submissions to NSF, while also ensuring that the information is submitted in a searchable composition. Beginning with the next iteration of the PAPPG (anticipated effective date, January 2020), NSF will only accept PDFs for biographical sketches that are generated through use of an NSF-approved format. A description of NSF-approved format(s) will be posted on the NSF website when the PAPPG is issued. A draft version of the PAPPG was published in the Federal Register for public comment. The deadline for submission of comments is COB July 29, 2019.

Multiple training resources are available on the SciENcv website. The following website resources may be of assistance to proposers preparing a biographical sketch using the SciENcv format:
·         SciENcv Background
·         YouTube Video: SciENcv Tutorial
·         YouTube Video: Integrating with ORCID
·         SciENcv Help
 
We encourage you to share this information with your colleagues. If you have IT system-related questions, please contact the NSF Help Desk at 1-800-381-1532 orrgov@nsf.gov. Policy-related questions should be directed to policy@nsf.gov.
