The Division of Research has developed proposal templates for frequently-used sections of NSF proposals. This information does not substitute for the NSF Proposal & Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG) or a NSF funding opportunity announcement’s specific instructions.

If you would like to access the templates, click on the links below. Access is limited to the FAU community only, via FAU email and password login.
