The (NSPM33) defines Foreign Talent Recruitment Program as: “an effort directly or indirectly organized, managed, or funded by a foreign government or institution to recruit science and technology (S&T) professionals or students (regardless of citizenship or national origin, and whether having a full-time or part-time position).”

The process used by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to collect important, time-sensitive information, including Other Support documents, from grant applicants after the initial review and before an award is made.

The individual(s) designated by the applicant organization to have the appropriate level of authority and responsibility to direct the project or program to be supported by the award.

The NIH Grants Policy Statement (GPS) Section 2.5.1 states, “Other support includes all resources made available to a researcher in support of and/or related to all of their research endeavors, regardless of whether or not they have monetary value and regardless of whether they are based at the institution the researcher identifies for the current grant.” Some federal sponsors, such as NSF, refer to similar resources available to researchers as “current and pending support.” Other support is typically a concept used in grants administered under 2 CFR 200, Uniform Guidance. Contracts administered under the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) may have requirements for conflicts of interest reporting.

The RPPR is a format for federal reporting annual progress on a sponsored project. Certain changes in other support must be disclosed with the submission of the annual RPPR, dependent on sponsor requirements.

Designation of Senior/Key Personnel roles is determined by the Principal Investigator based on sponsor definitions of roles and responsibilities and the level of involvement with the activity by project individuals. Many sponsors consider Senior/Key Personnel as those who contribute in a substantive, meaningful way to the scientific or creative development or execution of a project, whether or not their salaries are paid for by a project. Senior/Key Personnel typically possess expertise or responsibilities that are indispensable to the project's success and may include Principal Investigators, Co-Principal Investigators, Co-Investigators, project managers, lead researchers, and other key contributors whose involvement is crucial for achieving the project's objectives, meeting sponsor requirements, and ensuring integrity and compliance. Senior/Key Personnel are typically identified in sponsored project proposals and awards and are expected to devote a significant portion of their time and effort to the project to ensure its effective implementation and outcomes.
