*National Science Foundation (NSF)*

*Data Management Plan*

A supplementary Data Management Plan is required for all NSF proposals
submitted after January 18, 2011. The intent is to ensure that awards
conform to NSF policy on the dissemination and sharing of research results,
which provides that investigators are expected to share with other
researchers, at no more than incremental cost and within a reasonable amount
of time, the primary data, samples, physical collections, software,
curriculum materials, and other supporting materials created or gathered in
the course of work under NSF grants.    For more information, please go to:

*New NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide*

This is a reminder that the new NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures
Guide (PAPPG) (NSF
11-1)<http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf11001>goes
into effect for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 18,
2011.   The significant changes to the PAPPG include 1) a requirement that
all proposals submitted to NSF contain an up to two page Data Management
Plan as a Supplementary Document and 2) implementation of the National
Science Board’s recommendations regarding cost sharing.  A complete list of
significant changes accompanies the PAPPG.

Please note that because January 15th is a Saturday, and Monday, January
17th is a Federal holiday, per Grant Proposal Guide Chapter
I.F,<http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/policydocs/pappguide/nsf11001/gpg_1.jsp#IF>the
due dates are extended to the following business day.  Therefore,
proposals submitted in response to funding opportunities whose deadline
dates fall after close of business on January 14th, will be due January
18th, and will be subject to the requirements set forth in NSF 11-1.   This
includes the requirement to submit a Data Management Plan as a supplementary
document.

FastLane will begin automated compliance checking for the data management
plan starting January 15th and proposals (including unsolicited proposals)
that do not comply with the requirement will be prevented from
submission.

We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the new PAPP Guide, and visit
the Policy Office website (http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/) for
additional information.  We have developed an entire suite of Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs) on topics such as general proposal preparation and
award administration, Project Outcomes Reports, Responsible Conduct of
Research, Data Management Plans and Cost Sharing.  The Policy Office updates
these FAQs as new questions are raised, to keep the community aware of
emerging issues, so please visit our site often to access the latest
information on NSF policies and procedures.

If you have any questions regarding these changes, please contact the Policy
Office on (703) 292-8243 or by e-mail to policy at nsf.gov.

*Robert A. Welch Foundation*

* *

*New Welch Proposals*

New faculty who have never received a Robert A. Welch grant may apply to the
Foundation as long as the project meets the Foundation’s requirements as
stated on their website (links below).  These proposals must go through the
Division of Research for submission.  Applications are due in the Foundation
offices by February 1, 2011.  *However, OCG expects to have many proposals
to review and has therefore established an internal deadline for submission
to OCG of January 5, 2011.*

If any of the new proposals will go through one of the DOR centers or
Engineering, please contact Anja Wells for coordination and assistance.   If
any of the new proposals are submitted by NSM, please contact Angelyn
Griffing for coordination and assistance.
