Upcoming Changes to Public-Access Policy Reporting Requirements and Related NIH Efforts to Enhance Compliance
Since 2008, compliance with the NIH public-access policy has been a statutory requirement and a term and condition of all grant awards and cooperative agreements. NIH and its awardees have developed increasingly effective ways to track and report compliance with the public access policy. To this end, NIH has provided outreach and worked to assist applicants with understanding the policy. However, there is a need to improve grantee compliance.
Upcoming Process Change
With this notice, NIH informs grantees that in Spring 2013, at the earliest, NIH will delay processing of non-competing continuation grant awards if publications arising from that award are not in compliance with the NIH public access policy. The award will not be processed until recipients have demonstrated compliance. This change will take effect in tandem with NIH requiring the use of the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPRs) for all Streamlined Non-competing Award Process (SNAP) and Fellowship awards in the Spring of 2013 (see NIH NOT-OD-12-142).

BackgroundA new version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) was issued on October 2, 2012. It will be effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 14, 2013. The PAPPG is comprised of documents relating to the Foundation's proposal and award process and consists of the:
(a) Grant Proposal Guide (GPG) for guidance on the preparation and submission of proposals to NSF
(b) Award & Administration Guide (AAG) to guide, manage, and monitor the award and administration of grants and cooperative agreements made by the Foundation.
Significant changes include revisions to the NSF Merit Review Criteria which implement the National Science Board’s (NSB) recommendations.
Changes will affect the project summary and project description sections of proposals. Annual and final reports also will be affected. The webinar will cover numerous other clarifications that have been made, such as:
- Revision of the Biographical Sketch(es) instructions to rename the “Publications” section to “Products” and amend terminology and instructions accordingly
- Clarification on indirect costs specifying that, except as noted in the PAPPG or a program solicitation, organizations must use the applicable negotiated indirect cost rate
- Modification of Facilities, Equipment and Other Resources section of proposals to assist proposers in complying with the NSF cost-sharing policy
- Additional proposal certifications must be submitted by the Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) covering organizational support of the proposed research, tax obligations/liability and felony convictions
