At this time, the best course of action is to disclose any and all activities that involve a foreign entity, including foreign sponsors and/or collaborators, in grant and contract proposals to federal agencies.
If your research is supported by federal funding, you should update and maintain your documentation listing sources of funding support for research (current and pending support, other support, etc.). Include support you secured through NIU and as an individual.
Here are some key ways you should disclose foreign components in your applications:
- Identifying a foreign component in an application.
- Listing a non-U.S. performance site.
- Identifying foreign relationships and activities in a biosketch.
- Answering yes to the following question on the federal grant application form: Does this project involve activities outside of the United States or partnerships with international collaborators?
Inform yourself of all sponsor requirements and follow all directions for content and format.
If you identify an omission or error in a previously submitted proposal, contact SPA for assistance.
