DoD has several branches and offices. DoD grant proposal requirements are solicitation and agency specific. For this reason, it is very important to review the specific solicitation carefully.

Grantmaking offices at the Department: The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE); Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE); Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS); the Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE); and the Office of English Language Acquisition (OELA).

- Effective October 5, 2020, approved formats for creating biographical sketches are:

- (Revised May 1, 2020) NSF has partnered with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to use as an NSF-approved format for use in preparation of the biographical sketch section of an NSF proposal. Adoption of a single, common researcher profile system for Federal grants reduces administrative burden for researchers. SciENcv will produce an NSF-compliant PDF version of the biographical sketch. Proposers must save these documents and submit them as part of their proposals via FastLane, Research.gov or Grants.gov.

, including step-by-step instructions and screenshots for each of the four required sections (This is a subsection of the guidance at )

- (Revised 2023)

- Effective October 5, 2020, approved formats for creating current & pending support are:

- (Revised May 1, 2020) NSF has partnered with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to use as an NSF-approved format for use in preparation of the current and pending support section of an NSF proposal. Adoption of a single, common researcher profile system for Federal grants reduces administrative burden for researchers. SciENcv will produce NSF-compliant PDF versions of the current & pending support format. Proposers must save these documents and submit them as part of their proposals via FastLane, Research.gov or Grants.gov.

, including step-by-step instructions and screenshots for the two required sections (This is a subsection of the guidance at .)

- (Revised May 1, 2020) NSF is providing a fillable PDF for use in preparation of the current and pending support document. Proposers should download and save the blank PDF document prior to adding content. The completed and saved PDF can then be uploaded via FastLane, Research.gov or Grants.gov.

NOTE from Research.gov: If you choose to use the NSF-approved fillable PDF format, NSF recommends Adobe Acrobat Reader for an optimized experience in preparing biographical sketch and current and pending support documents. In particular, Mac users have reported upload and proposal printing issues when using software other than Adobe Acrobat Reader to complete NSF Fillable PDFs.

- For additional information on NSF Biosketch and Current & Pending revisions, NSF recorded a webinar on the use of NSF-approved formats on April 9, 2020.
