The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is providing this correspondence to inform organizations, and Authorized
Organizational Representatives, of a new annual certification requirement for Principal Investigators (PIs) and co-Principal Investigators (co-PIs) regarding Malign Foreign Talent Recruitment Programs (MFTRP).
Starting on June 7, 2025,
in accordance with the
NSF
Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG) Chapter II.D.1.e(ii),
all PIs or co-PIs named on an NSF award made on or after May 20, 2024, must certify annually in Research.gov that they are not party to a MFTRP.
Individuals who are currently a party to a MFTRP are not eligible to serve as senior/key personnel on an NSF proposal or on any NSF award made on or after May 20, 2024. NSF is providing notification of this new requirement to impacted PIs and co-PIs.
