In describing the scientific environment in which the work will be done, discuss ways in which the proposed studies will benefit from unique features of the scientific environment or from unique subject populations or how studies will employ useful collaborative arrangements.

If there are multiple performance sites, describe the resources available at each site.

A Biographical Sketch must be provided separately for each individual designated as senior personnel through use of SciENcv (Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae). 

The Biographical Sketch must contain all academic, professional and scientific appointments, positions and affiliations held, including adjunct and visiting scholar appointments, domestic or foreign, paid or unpaid, full-time or part-time. Also includes:

Individuals are required to disclose contracts associated with participation in programs sponsored by foreign governments, instrumentalities, or entities, including foreign government-sponsored talent recruitment programs. If an individual receives direct or indirect support that is funded by a foreign government-sponsored talent recruitment program, even where the support is provided through an intermediary and does not require membership in the foreign government-sponsored talent recruitment program, that support must be disclosed. Individuals must also report other foreign government-sponsored or affiliated activities.

• All Foreign Government Talent Recruitment Programs, Foreign Scholarship Awards
• In-Kind Support or Other Resources NOT intended for use on the proposed project (with/without time commitment)
• Consulting activities when any of the following scenarios apply:
  • The consulting activity will require the senior/key person to perform research as part of the consulting activity;
  • The consulting activity does not involve performing research, but is related to the senior/key person’s research portfolio and may have the ability to impact funding, alter time or effort commitments, or otherwise impact scientific integrity; or
  • The consulting entity has provided a contract that requires the senior/key person to conceal or withhold confidential financial or other ties between the senior/key person and the entity, irrespective of the duration of the engagement.

Prior to making a funding recommendation, the cognizant NSF program officer will request that an updated version of Current and Pending (Other) Support be submitted via Research.gov.

After an award is made if the AOR discovers that a disclosure that should have been submitted at the time of proposal submission, but was not, they have 30 days to submit a post-award request to NSF.

At the time of project reporting Senior Personnel must specify whether new, active other support has been received in their annual and final project reports. If current and pending other support has changed, Senior Personnel must attach updated Current and Pending Support information

This section of the proposal is used to assess the adequacy of the resources available to perform the effort proposed to satisfy both the Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts review criteria. Proposers should describe only those resources that are directly applicable. Proposers should include an aggregated description of the internal and external resources (both physical and personnel) that the organization and its collaborators will provide to the project, should it be funded. Such information must be provided in this section, in lieu of other parts of the proposal (e.g., Budget Justification, Project Description). The description should be narrative in nature and must not include any quantifiable financial information. Reviewers will evaluate the information during the merit review process and the cognizant NSF Program Officer will review it for programmatic and technical sufficiency.

Although these resources are not considered voluntary committed cost sharing as defined in 2 CFR § 200.99, the Foundation does expect that the resources identified in the Facilities, Equipment and Other Resources section will be provided, or made available, should the proposal be funded. Chapter VII.B.1 specifies procedures for use by the grantee when there are postaward changes to objectives, scope or methods/procedures.

Please be sure to include: Post-doc, student, or visiting scholar supported by a foreign government or institution

Annual project reports must be submitted in Research.gov no later than 90-days prior to the end of the current budget period to provide sufficient time for review and approval by the cognizant NSF Program Officer. The report becomes overdue the day after the end of the current budget period if it has not been submitted by the PI and approved by the cognizant NSF Program Officer.

The report becomes overdue the day after the 90-day period ends. Failure to submit timely reports will delay processing of additional funding and administrative actions, including, but not limited to, no cost extensions. In the case of continuing grants, failure to submit timely reports will delay processing of funding increments. See also Chapter VI.E.3.

Final annual project reports, unless otherwise specified in the award,  must be submitted in Research.gov no later than 120-days following the end date of the award. As reflected in the Project Report System, the report is considered due during the 120-day period. If the report has not been submitted by the PI and approved by the cognizant NSF Program Officer within the 120-days period, the report becomes overdue.

PIs must submit final technical reports within the time period specified. Failure to provide these reports on a timely basis will delay NSF review and processing of pending proposals for all identified PIs and co-PIs on a given award.
