[CCoE Notice] Two Announcements from NSF

[Fritz Claydon]

REMINDERS:




*National Science Foundation (NSF)*

* *

*Data Management Plan*

A supplementary Data Management Plan is required for all NSF proposals
submitted after January 18, 2011. The intent is to ensure that awards
conform to NSF policy on the dissemination and sharing of research results,
which provides that investigators are expected to share with other
researchers, at no more than incremental cost and within a reasonable amount
of time, the primary data, samples, physical collections, software,
curriculum materials, and other supporting materials created or gathered in
the course of work under NSF grants.    For more information, please go to:
http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/dmp.jsp



*****



*NSF Cost Sharing*

The National Science Foundation has revised its policy on cost sharing.  The
major change is that, except when required in an NSF solicitation, inclusion
of voluntary committed cost sharing is prohibited.  In order to assess the
scope of the project, all organizational resources necessary for the project
(both physical and personnel) must be described in the Facilities, Equipment
and Other Resources section of the proposal.  This description should be
narrative in nature and must not include any quantifiable financial
information.



To view NSF’s FAQ’s, please go to:
http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=costsharefaqs



The effective date for these changes is January 18, 2011.  If they are
violated, NSF can return the proposal without review or decline it.
