COGR Responds to Request for Comments: Biosketch and Current and Pending Support Disclosure Policy

COGR provided feedback on NASA's proposed Biosketch and Current and Pending Support Disclosure Policy, emphasizing the need for uniformity with National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) common forms to minimize administrative burden and enhance compliance. COGR urged NASA to avoid unnecessary deviations from federal standards, align definitions and reporting requirements (especially for senior/key personnel and in-kind contributions) with existing federal guidance, facilitate digital submissions through SciENcv, and standardize certification processes for malign foreign talent recruitment disclosures. The organization highlighted that consistent federal disclosure policies are crucial for efficient institutional training, accurate reporting, and safeguarding research integrity.
