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
