Dear Colleagues:
I wanted to make you aware that revised versions of the NSF Grant General Conditions (GC-1) ( Summary of Significant Changes to the GC-1) and Cooperative Agreement Financial and Administrative Terms and Conditions (CA-FATC) ( Summary of Significant Changes to the CA-FATC) have been issued. The revisions to the terms and conditions parallel recent changes made to the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide, such as Public Access, Dual Use Research of Concern, updates regarding animal welfare and a revised timeframe for submitting project reports.
The revised GC-1 will apply to new NSF grants and funding amendments to existing NSF grants issued on or after January 25, 2016, and similarly, the CA-FATC will apply to NSF cooperative agreements. Parallel changes will be made to the remaining suite of NSF terms and conditions.
If you have any questions regarding these changes, please contact the DIAS/Policy Office on (703) 292-8243 or by email to policy@nsf.gov.
Regards,
Jean Feldman
