NSF Proposal File Updates & Budget Revisions
To clarify the steps needed for the PI to initiate and route a Proposal File Update or Budget Revision in Research.gov. Please note that only the PI or co-PI can initiate a proposal file update or budget revision.
Applicability
Proposal file updates allow the PI or co-PI to request the replacement of files or revision of other proposal attributes, associated with a previously submitted proposal.
A request for a proposal file update will be accepted if submitted prior to:
- The NSF deadline;
- Initiation of external peer review in cases where a target date is utilized; and
- Initiation of external peer review in the case of an unsolicited proposal.
Changes in the content of the proposal should not be requested after the timeframes specified above.
A request for a proposal file update after the timeframes specified above will require acceptance by the cognizant NSF program officer.
NSF will consider only one request for a proposal file update per proposal at a time. It is anticipated that it will be a rare occurrence for more than one file update request to be submitted for a proposal.
When a request is accepted, the proposed files or revisions to proposal attributes will immediately replace the existing files and become part of the official proposal. See PAPPG, Chapter III.C
PI Instructions
To create an update/budget revision, PI's can access the Proposal File Updates (PFUs) and Budget Revisions through the links found on the Submitted Proposals Module in Research.gov.
Only PI's and co-PI's have the ability to initiate these requests.
The PAPPG states that "Authorized individuals in the organization's SPO can initiate requests" however in Research.gov it says "the option to prepare a PFU/Budget Revision will be displayed on the main proposal page of the submitted proposal, for the Principal Investigator (PI)and co-PI(s) associated with the proposal ".
Editing a Proposal:
About Proposal Preparation and Submission
- For single submission or single submission with subawards (collaborative) proposals, all edits must be done via the Initiate PFU/Budget Revision button on the submitted proposal form.
- For separately submitted collaborative proposals after a lead or non-lead organization proposal is submitted, it will receive a status of Submission Pending if there are other proposals in the collaboration that have yet to submit. When a lead/non-lead organization proposal has a status of Submission Pending, there will be an Edit Proposal button visible to the PI/co-PI's, SPO, AOR, and OAU of the proposal. Clicking the Edit Proposal button removes the proposal from the Submission Pending status and returns it to an In-progress status and will require a new submission by the AOR.
- For separately submitted collaborative proposals, if all proposals in the collaborative set have been submitted, then the proposal can be edited via the Initiate PFU/Budget Revision button on the submitted proposal form.
- For single submission or single submission with subawards (collaborative) proposals, all edits must be done via the Initiate PFU/Budget Revisions radio button on the submitted proposal form.
- Then in the list of submitted proposals, the proposal to be updated will have a link under the proposal number that says Associated Actions: Proposal File Update

NSF seeks proposals to create an NSF National Resource Coordination Center on Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) ( IUSE Center ) that will be an intellectual partner to the IUSE: EDU community and NSF. Working in concert with the IUSE: EDU program, the goal of the IUSE Center is to serve as a focal point and intellectual partner for the IUSE: EDU community. The objectives of the IUSE Center are to:
- Enhance the reach and influence of IUSE investments by facilitating communication, engagement, and networking among IUSE: EDU award recipients, prospective recipients, and other stakeholders; and
- Provide support and resources for development and maintenance of IUSE: EDU projects, especially for prospective recipients and those underrepresented in the IUSE: EDU award recipient community.
The IUSE Center will be expected to work collaboratively with NSF and the IUSE: EDU community to design, implement, and execute its activities and ensure the inclusion of diverse educators and education researchers representing the full range of the nation’s talent pool, of eligible institutions and organizations, and of STEM education efforts funded through the IUSE: EDU Program.
