This is for those of you that have already submitted a preliminary proposal to NSF for the upcoming cycle. I have a question from a PI who is asking for clarification on the following:

6. How does the project description of the preliminary proposal differ from that of a full proposal?

NSF says: The preliminary proposal project description must include a one-page list of all expected participants (PI, Co-PI, collaborators [including leads for sub-awards], other senior personnel). The page limit for the narrative part of the project description is four pages, compared to 15 for a full proposal.

We are seeking clarification on the format/required information for the one-page list of participants. Is this done in lieu of the Biographical Sketch?

Thanks for your help! Happy holidays!
