New Revisions for NSF Terms and Conditions
New NSF Terms going into effect October 4, 2021
Starting for all awards or amendments that are dated after October 4, 2021 NSF has updated the terms and conditions to include new travel requirements.
Editorial changes have been made to either clarify or enhance the intended meaning of a sentence or section. Websites and references have been updated for consistency with the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide and the applicable terms and conditions identified in the award notice.
Harassment-Free Environment, Article 4 has been supplemented with new language which specifies that for group travel grants for scientific meetings, prior to the grantee’s participation in the meeting, the grantee must assure that the meeting organizer has a written policy or code-of conduct addressing harassment. Coverage on policies or codes-of-conduct for NSF-sponsored conferences also has been updated.
For all grants, the Domestic Preferences for Procurements, Article 44 has been added. This entirely new article notifies grantees of the applicability of 2 CFR §200.322, Domestic Preferences for Procurements.
These changes will also be reflected in the new PAPPG which goes into effect on October 4 as well.
