NSF: Award Terms & Conditions Updates
|
Greetings, |
|
NSF updated their Award General Terms & Conditions as well as their National Policy Requirements for Recipients of NSF Awards. These are effective for new awards and funding amendments to existing awards dated on or after May 19, 2025. As noted earlier, the UW is not accepting new NSF awards that include an Indirect Cost (IDC) cap of 15%. NSF recently paused implementation of that cap until June 13th. During this pause, the UW will continue to submit proposals to NSF using our current negotiated rates. Please review more information on our NSF FAQs. Acceptance of new NSF awards is pending review of the updated terms and conditions. Please also be aware that SciENcv Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support documents require each individual to certify that the information provided is accurate, current, and complete, and that they are not a party to a malign foreign talent recruitment program. Starting on June 7, 2025, all PIs or co-PIs named on an NSF award made on or after May 20, 2024, must certify annually in Research.gov that they are not party to a MFTRP. Covered individuals can expect a prompt from NSF to make the certification. Please be timely in responding. Thank you, |
