Expiration Date of Approval: Not applicable. Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to establish an information collection. Abstract: NSF’s Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) establishes several types of proposal in addition to standard research proposals that deviate from NSF’s standard proposal preparation instructions. Several of these proposal types require prospective submitters to first contact an NSF Program Officer with expertise germane to the topic to determine whether the prospective project is appropriate for consideration under the type of proposal. In FY 2020, the COVID–19 pandemic resulted in a large volume of inquiries and requests, more than 6,000 incoming contacts, to support research outside of standard research proposal mechanisms, particularly RAPID and EAGER proposals. This was the largest and most widespread, but not the only, episode of high-profile, high-volume inquiries related to these proposal types. High levels of interest are also observed after SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\04OCN1.SGM 04OCN1
