The NSF Current & Pending Support document consists of three sections and certification statement:

  • Identifying Information, Organization and Location
  • Project/Proposal Summary
  • In-Kind Contribution Summary
  • Certification

Identifying Information, Organization and Location

The Identifying Information, Organization and Location form includes your first and last name by default; however, these two fields can be amended to include the name of the senior person contributing to the scientific development of the project proposed. Click Image sciencv-Image043.jpg to include the position title and position starting date, organization’s name, and location. There is also an option to link the ORCID ID of the senior person to the NSF Current and Pending Support document.

Project/Proposal Summary

1. List your Project or Proposal Title

2. Select the Status of Support, current or pending.

For projects that are currently funded, select Current (see A below). Current projects include all ongoing projects, or projects with ongoing obligations, from whatever source, irrespective of whether such support is provided through the proposing organization or is provided directly to the individual.

For project proposals that are under consideration for funding, select Pending (see A below). Pending project proposals include any proposals requesting funding from whatever source, irrespective of whether such support is provided through the proposing organization or is provided directly to the individual.

3. Enter a proposal or award number (if available)

4. Enter the source of support (NSF or other support source, see B below)

5. Enter the project/proposal primary place of performance

6. The project/proposal total award amount is the award provided or requested for the entire project/proposal period and it should include indirect costs (see C below).

7. Enter the project/proposal start and end dates as proposed or approved for funding support

8. Information regarding the number of staff committed to the project for each year is required (see D below)

9. Provide a brief statement of your overall objectives. Required. (see E below)

10. List other pending proposals which may overlap in scope, budget, or staff time allocation. If there is no potential overlap, enter N/A (see F below).

In-Kind Contribution Summary

In the In-Kind Contribution Summary section, create a In-Kind Contribution record for all contributions related to current and pending support. Click Image sciencv-Image047.jpg to create a new In-Kind Contribution record.

 

1. In the Summary of In-Kind Contributions (see A below), include in-kind support such as office or laboratory space, equipment, supplies, technical support staff, etc. If the in-kind contributions are intended for use on a project being proposed to NSF, the information must be included as part of the Facilities, Equipment and Other Resources section of the proposal and need not be replicated in the Current and Pending Support document. Note that in-kind contributions not intended for use on the project being proposed also must be reported in the Current and Pending Support document.

2. Select the Status of Support, current or pending.

Select Current (see B below) for all in-kind contributions supported, from whatever source, irrespective of whether such support is provided through the proposing organization or is provided directly to the individual.

Select Pending (see B below) for all in-kind contributions currently under consideration from whatever source, irrespective of whether such support is provided through the proposing organization or is provided directly to the individual.

3. Enter the name of the institution, foundation or entities providing the in-kind contribution( see C below)

4. Enter the in-kind contribution U.S. Dollar value, including indirect costs (see D below). The Dollar Value of In-Kind Contribution is the assigned value to contributions listed in the summary of in-kind contributions and to the number of staff committed to the project for the entire project period

5. Enter the in-kind contribution start and end dates as proposed or approved

6. Information regarding the number of staff committed to the project for each year is required (see E below)

7. Provide a brief statement of your overall objectives. Required (see F below)

8. List other active or pending proposal or in-kind contribution which may overlap in scope, budget, or staff time allocation. If there is no potential overlap, enter N/A (see G below)
