Hi All,

I stumbled across the new format for NSF DMSP and @Shannon Janssen informed me that NIH will have a new format as well. If this was announced previously, my apologies! I just encountered the NSF tool and wanted to share for people to be aware.

For NSF this was part of the policy notice, NSF 26-202, that went out in January, which might have been put on this listserv previously, but I didn’t remember it.  The new DMSP tool is in research.gov as of April 27^th, 2026.

For NIH, the new form is required as of May 25^th, 2026.  I am attaching the new template and information link is below.

Thank you,

Liz
