NSF has updated the Grant Proposal Guide (GPG) and the Award & Administration Guide (AAG), with changes effective January 14, 2013 providing clarification and updated guidance on proposals and awards involving vertebrate animals. These updates now contain references to the review of wildlife research protocols, the IACUCs role in the review and approval of such research, and the processes to follow for UMBC investigators to follow when submitting and/or receiving funding from the NSF.

Completed versions of the GPG and AAG are available at http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/; attached of the extracted pages related to vertebrate animals. Please contact the ORPC with any questions.
