See below notice from Jean Feldman at NSF regarding the revised Award Terms and Conditions for various agreements. Please note all of the terms and conditions have been updated to include a new article which establishes a post-award disclosure requirement for undisclosed current support and in-kind contribution information. Each set of terms and conditions is accompanied by a summary of changes made to that document.
The revised terms and conditions will apply to all new NSF awards and funding amendments to existing NSF awards made on or after October 5, 2020, except for the SBIR/STTR-I and SBIR/STTR-II CA-FATC which will become effective July 6, 2020.
Although the information in the Current and Pending Support document is used primarily to evaluate the qualification of PIs/Key personnel, NSF may also use this section to ensure all foreign affiliations are reported.
Additional resources related to other support requirements and foreign influence can be found on Research Integrity's website: https://www.research.ucsb.edu/research-integrity/other-support
