The National Science Foundation, hosted by the State University System of Florida, held a Grants Conference from June 1-2, 2015.  NSF program managers and administrators presented at the two-day meeting.  They described a number of proposal and award process changes that will be useful during proposals preparation and award management.  For example, new and continuing NSF cross cutting programs in the FY 16 budget request include the BRAIN initiative, INFEWS, and CRISP.  Files from this conference can be found at (http://guides.ucf.edu/GrantsFundersGuide/NSF_Resources) including a very helpful list of NSF acronyms.  If you have any questions about the information presented of other NSF related issues, please contact Debbie Reinhart at Reinhart@ucf.edu or (407) 823-2315.
