18 Interdisciplinary Research (IDR) Important research ideas often transcend the scope of a single discipline or program. NSF gives high priority to promoting interdisciplinary research and supports it through a number of specific solicitations. NSF encourages submission of unsolicited interdisciplinary proposals for ideas that are in novel or emerging areas extending beyond any particular current NSF program.
19 Transparency & Accountability Administration Priorities
20 Focus on Open Government Core Principles: Transparency Participation Collaboration Open Government Policy: The President ss Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government (Jan 21, 2009) A Strategy for American Innovation: Driving Towards Sustainable Growth and Quality Jobs The Open Government Directive My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government. - President Barack Obama
21 Government-wide efforts: Transparency USA Spending.gov: Financial Transparency Recovery.gov: Tracking Economic Stimulus Spending Data.gov: One Stop Data Sharing Platform IT Dashboard: Visualizing Technology Spending Transparency promotes accountability by providing the public with information about what the Government is doing.

28 NSF s Revised Cost Sharing Policy In response to statutory requirements, and, as recommended by the National Science Board, mandatory cost sharing has been implemented for the following gprograms: Major Research Instrumentation Program; Robert Noyce Scholarship Program; Engineering Research Centers; Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers; Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research Cost sharing for these programs must be identified on Line M of the approved budget.
29 NSF s Revised Cost Sharing Policy Mandatory NSF-required programmatic cost sharing will rarely be approved for an NSF program. To request consideration of mandatory programmatic cost sharing requirement in an NSF solicitation, the program must develop a compelling justification regarding why non- Federal financial support and commitment is considered foundational to programmatic success. Such requests to require cost sharing must be explicitly approved by the NSF Director.
30 NSF s Revised Cost Sharing Policy Inclusion of voluntary committed cost sharing is prohibited in solicited & unsolicited proposals. To be considered voluntary committed cost sharing, the cost sharing must meet all of the standards of 2 CFR , to include identification of cost sharing on the NSF budget. Line M will be grayed out in FastLane. Organizations may, at their own discretion, continue to contribute any amount of voluntary uncommitted cost sharing to NSF-sponsored projects.
31 NSF s Revised Cost Sharing Policy The Facilities, Equipment & Other Resources section should be used to provide a comprehensive description of all resources (both physical and personnel) necessary for, and available to a project, without reference to cost, date of acquisition, and whether the resources are currently available or would be provided upon receipt of the grant.
32 NSF s Revised Cost Sharing Policy NSF program officers may discuss the bottom line award amount with PIs, but may not renegotiate or impose cost sharing or other organizational commitments. NSF Program Officers may not impose or encourage programmatic cost sharing requirements.
33 NSF s Revised Cost Sharing Policy Significant effort made in scrubbing existing cost sharing requirements in funding opportunities: Both in the five solicitations that require cost sharing; and Language changed from cost sharing is not required to Voluntary committed cost sharing is prohibited in all other announcements and solicitations. i i Cost sharing FAQs issued, and, updated. Send additional questions to Send additional questions to costsharing@nsf.gov
34 NSF Revised Cost Sharing Policy
35 America COMPETES Reauthorization & NSF Merit Review Criteria NSB Task Force on Merit Review established Spring 2010, charged with examining the two Merit Review Criteria and their effectiveness in achieving the goals for NSF support for science and engineering research and education Focusing on: How criteria are being interpreted and used by PIs, reviewers, and NSF staff Strengths and weaknesses of criteria Impact of criteria on how PIs develop projects R l f th i tit ti Role of the institution
36 Current Statust The Task Force is currently analyzing the various inputs, and is developing a set of principles to guide the description and implementation of the merit review criteria Draft recommendations were presented at the May NSB meeting NSF will report to Congress by late June on policy and implementation plans related to the Broader Impacts Review Criterion, as required by the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act
37 Data Management Plan Requirements Data management plan must be submitted as a Supplementary Document effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 18, 2011 Plan should describe how the proposal will conform to NSF policy on dissemination and sharing of research results. A valid Data Management Plan may include only the statement that no detailed plan is needed, as long a clear justification is provided. Except where specified in a solicitation, it ti plan may not exceed two pages.
38 Data Management Plan Requirements Proposers who feel that the plan cannot fit within the two page limit may use part of the 15-page Project Description for additional data management information. Plan will be reviewed as part of the intellectual merit and/or broader impacts of the proposal. Does not supersede specialized solicitation requirements regarding data management plans. q g g g p FastLane will not permit submission of a proposal that is missing a data management plan.
39 NSF Data Management Policy Online Resources
40 The Federal Funding Accountability & Transparency Act (FFATA) of 2006 & subsequent 2008 amendments Requires agencies to provide data on prime assistance awards through h the Federal Assistance Award Database System Plus format (FAADS+) Requires information disclosure of entities receiving Federal funding through Federal awards such as Federal contracts and their subcontracts and Federal grants and their sub-grants Requires disclosure of executive compensation information for certain entities Requires the establishment of a publicly available, searchable website that contains information about each Federal award Requires agencies to comply with OMB guidance and instructions and assist OMB in implementation of website
41 Status t of NSF Reporting to USAspending.gov NSF has been reporting with a high h degree of data accuracy and completeness since the beginning We have taken steps to address the few data quality challenges we have Modified FastLane proposal submission to require primary performance site and eliminate collection of performing organization (effective January 18, 2011) NSF systems are being modified to check for CCR status prior to issuing new awards and increments Pace of reporting is increasing though we are not seeing a high volume of reports
42 Common Reporting Questions Which awards must report? Required for all new awards made on or after October 1, 2010 Standard grants, continuing grants, cooperative agreements, fellowship awards made to the institution, renewals If in doubt, check your award letter Which awards are excluded? Obligations providing additional funding under continuing grants initially awarded prior to October 1, 2010 Supplements, individual fellowships, and Intergovernmental Personnel Act awards PI transfers when original award was made prior to October 1, 2010 Why can t I find my award is FSRS? Only use the numerical portion of your award number Send NSF-specific questions to FFATAReporting@nsf.gov
43 New Payment System NSF made the decision to develop a new cash request system late FY New cash request system will require grantees to New cash request system will require grantees to request funds for individual grants rather than request funds on a pooling basis. New payment process will allow NSF to attribute the payment to the funding source in real time. New system will also provide both grantees and NSF with real time status of funds data by award.
44 Anticipated Implementation Timeline NSF is currently in the planning stages of the transition and is developing the timeline, but expects to transition during FY We are working with the grantee community to develop a timeline that will not interfere with grantee fiscal year end tasks. NSF will continue to provide updates to stakeholders as the timeline is developed.

46 Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) Background An initiative of the Research Business Models (RBM) Subcommittee of the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) The first meeting of the Working Group was held on May 13, 2004 NSF participated heavily in development and served as Chair of the Subcommittee Objective to establish a uniform format for reporting performance on Federally-funded research projects Format developed d as the Research alternative ti to the Performance Progress Report (PPR); Proposed policy addresses interim progress reports only; and The working group used the NSF progress report format in FastLane as the model.
47 RPPR Statust The RPPR Policy Letter was signed by OMB/OSTP on April 21, Each agency is required to post an implementation plan on the NSF and RBM website within nine months after issuance of the OMB/OSTP Policy Letter. A total of 13 Department/Agency plans are posted on the NSF website. Given that the FastLane format was used to develop the RPPR, the NSF implementation will be VERY familiar to our recipient community.
48 NSF Implementation ti NSF plans to implement the RPPR format for annual, interim, and final project reports, and utilize the following components as part of an NSF-wide standard format: Mandatory Category: Accomplishments: What was done? What was learned? Optional Categories: Products: What has the project produced? Participants & Other Collaborating Organizations: Who has been involved? Impact: What is the impact of the project? How has it contributed? Changes/Problems Special Reporting Requirements (where applicable) Appendix 1: Demographic Information for Significant Contributors 48
49 NSF Implementation (Cont d) Develop a new project reporting service in Research.gov to replace FastLane Project Reports The project reporting service will provide a common portal for the research community to submit and manage annual, interim, and final progress reports One of the key drivers in development of the project reporting service is the reduction of PI and Co-PI burden through use of more innovative mechanisms to pre-populate parts of the report 49
50 Benefits to Community Consolidated project reporting dashboard includes annual, final, and Project Outcomes Report requirements Designed to highlight most immediate requirements Enhanced pre-population leveraging STAR METRICS investment Secure mechanism for creating and managing Other Authorized Users More structured collection of the project reports data for enhanced NSF use Adopts federal-wide data dictionary to increase consistency of implementation across agencies 50
51 Current Status of NSF s Implementation High-level requirements and draft wireframes have been developed. NSF internal review began last week. NSF plans to solicit PI/SPO feedback within the next 4-6 weeks. Met with FDP PIs and SPOs last week. Feedback will be incorporated into final wireframes and detailed requirements 51
52 NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) Update Published in the Federal Register NSF s intent to modify the PAPPG. Issuance date will greatly depend on time necessary to implement results from the Merit Review Task Force. Working issuance date remains October 2012 with January effective date
53 Anticipated i t Changes Revision of Merit review coverage in Chapter III. Completion of implementation of NSB s cost sharing recommendations: Necessary changes to FastLane Budget for removal of PI; Revision of Format of Facilities, Equipment & Other Resources format in FastLane; and Update of Exceptions to Limitations on Indirect Costs coverage Costs coverage.
