NSF Dear Colleague Notification about RCR FAQ

Dear Colleagues:

We have issued a set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to accompany the responsible conduct of research (RCR) requirement of the America COMPETES Act, as implemented in the NSF Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide

http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/policydocs/pappguide/nsf10_1/gpg_2.jsp#IIC1e          and

http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/policydocs/pappguide/nsf10_1/aag_4.jsp#IVB

The FAQs are available on the Policy Office web site at

http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=rcrfaq

Please direct any questions regarding these FAQs (or NSF’s RCR implementation in general) to the Policy Office at policy@nsf.gov or on x8243.  As additional questions are posed by NSF staff and the community, the FAQs will be updated accordingly.

Regards,
