Current and Pending/Other Support/NIH and NSF Senior Personnel Documents: Updates to Requirements and Institutional Approaches 

April 25, 2023
2:00 – 3:30 pm EDT * Webinar
3:35 – 4:30 pm EDT * After the Show * Talk with the Faculty Directly!

Over the last several years, federal agencies have worked to clarify disclosure requirements, partly due to directives in federal law and policy.  Charged by the National Science and Technology Council’s Research Security Subcommittee, NIH and NSF have been leading a multi-agency effort to create common disclosure forms, which include the Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support.  This webinar will cover the context in which NIH and NSF have made updates to these formats, as well as go through specific changes made to each agency’s forms.  Jean and Michelle will share the current state of the multi-agency efforts and talk about the future of their agencies’ formats.  The webinar will also describe institutional approaches to updated agency requirements.

Format of webinar: 90-minute presentation, followed by 55 minutes of discussion.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will understand the context for changes to NIH and NSF Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support documents.  
  • Participants will review updates that NIH and NSF have made to requirements for required senior personnel documents. 
  • Participants will learn about how institutions have adjusted their practices and approaches to comply with updated requirements.

NCURA webinars use the GoToWebinar platform. To confirm that you are ready to participate, please test your browser before joining the webinar, or review the more detailed system requirements.
  • It is recommended that you use a PC or MAC with an updated Internet Browser either Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Edge or Safari.  
  • Make sure you have pop-ups blockers disabled in your Internet browser settings.
  • Wifi is not recommended. The problem with WiFi is signal strength can vary causing bandwidth to increase or decrease.
  • We recommend a wired connection. A wired connection gives a consistent signal and consistent bandwidth. A wired connection provides a better experience.
  • It's better for organizations with low bandwidth to only have the webinar running on 1 computer in a conference room than having 10 individual people running the session on 10 computers at their desks.
  • Audio (sound) is projected through your computer speakers. Be sure your computer is equipped with speakers so you can hear the presenters.
