Yesterday, NSF posted
FAQs<http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/policydocs/arra/faqs_pi.jsp>regarding the
accelerated spending

Key impacts:****

**·         **Waiver requests for all grants, except for CAREER awards,
need to be submitted by March 2nd (today).****

**o   **This includes awards whose expiration date is beyond 9/30/13. If a
waiver request is not submitted for such an award, “NSF will amend your
award to modify the expiration so that your project cannot continue past
September 30, 2013.” ****

**·         **Waiver requests for cooperative agreements need to be
submitted by March 9th.****

**·         **For CAREER awards, all of which were issued with expiration
dates in 2014, “NSF is working to develop a strategy for a programmatic
waiver request to cover all CAREER PIs.” Waiver requests for CAREER awards
do not need to be submitted at this time, but recipients are reminded that
there is no guarantee that OMB will approve the waiver request.****
