New NSF Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide

A new guide will become effective January 4, 2010.  The significant change refers to proposal certifications regarding responsible conduct of research.  When submitting a proposal to NSF, the Authorized Organizational Representative is required to complete a certification that the institution has a plan to provide appropriate training and oversight in the responsible and ethical conduct of research to undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers who will be supported by NSF to conduct research.  While training plans are not required to be included in proposals submitted to NSF, institutions are advised that they are subject to review upon request.  Please click here to view a copy of the new guide.
