Subject: [Rowdy.research] Update: NSF Prior Approval Requests
Hello everyone,
I reached out to research.gov IT and they have confirmed that any user with an Admin role
can submit prior approval requests directly to NSF.
Therefore, effective immediately, no Research Administrator should be creating prior
approval requests in research.gov. OSP will handle this function after they have reviewed
and approved the request through ServiceNow.
Thank you,
Justin

Subject: NSF Prior Approval Requests
Hello everyone,
We've had a few instances lately where Prior Approval Requests in research.gov get
submitted to NSF directly by someone other than an AOR. There is usually an option to
"Save & Forward to AOR" for these requests but it looks like it's not
available as an option anymore. OSP will look into this further. Until further notice, all
NSF prior approval requests should not be entered into research.gov prior to it being
submitted to OSP via ServiceNow for review/approval. OSP will enter it into research.gov
once we've reviewed and approved the request.
Thanks,
Justin
