Who should submit a project execution plan and what should be addressed?
PIs submitting proposals requesting funding over $2 million must submit a detailed project execution plan. This should be included as a supplemental document. A list of the items that should be included is given in the solicitation. The project execution plan is a formal document that serves as both a tool for the project manager and a tool to help NSF track progress on an award. It complements and significantly extends the information in the project management plan. If the proposed project is complex, proposals requesting funding below $2 million may include a project execution plan in the supplementary documents section at the PI’s discretion.
