Thanks for the response. I am not concerned about the URL reference. My concern is as a separate line after appointments he references ALL of his publications.

I am not sure that is allowable.

Good morning,

Here is what I found in the 2019 PAPPG page II-5 (49 of the PDF):

It does mention that URLs are not allowed in the project description. Page II-13 (47 of the PDF):

And this is also listed in the checklist. Page II-48 (82 of the PDF):

The only other place I see URLs mentioned is in the References Cited. Page II-14 (48 of the PDF):

So it looks like they are allowed in Biosketches, disallowed in project descriptions, and optional in references cited? Is that how you interpret this as well?

Thank you!

Good Morning,

I have a general question about the NSF biosketch. The instructions clearly ask to limit to five (5) closely related and five (5) other significant products. I have a PI that does list those, but includes a link after appointments to all his publications. I believe this a violation of the instructions and may be a problem.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thank you for your help.
