Good afternoon,
NSF released the Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG, NSF 16-1<https://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf16001>) in October 2015. To support the policy updates in the PAPPG, beginning on January 25, 2016, NSF will no longer provide a 5-day grace period between the submission of a proposal to NSF and receipt of the Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) signature.
In addition, Proposal File Updates, Revised Budgets, Notifications and Requests, Proposal Withdrawals, PI Transfers, and Supplemental Funding Requests must be signed and submitted by an AOR. If you do not have the AOR permission, you will not be able to submit proposals and other documents to NSF.
Please work with your organization to ensure immediately that SPO staff required to submit proposals and other documents have been assigned the AOR permission and they are able to continue supporting proposal and document submission after January 22, 2016.  Additionally, please review all of your submitted proposals that do not have an AOR signature at the time of submission and make sure they are signed prior to January 22, 2016. Proposals that have already been submitted to NSF without AOR signature will not be able to be signed after January 22, 2016.
If you have any questions, please contact the NSF Help Desk at 1-800-673-6188, or fastlane at nsf.gov<mailto:fastlane at nsf.gov>.

Thank you,
National Science Foundation
Policy Office and Division of Information Systems
