Sponsor Disclosure Requirements/Foreign Support

Background:

Federal agency requirements and forms have recently been clarified or revised with a goal towards greater transparency for research activities and sources of support.     It is important that each individual who has information submitted on their behalf review updated instructions and verify information.  The resources on this page and linked sponsor-specific pages have been compiled to assist faculty and staff in navigating various disclosure requirements related to support, resources and time commitments.   Federal agencies have expanded the definition of research support to include all paid or in-kind resources supporting a PI’s research program, whether the support is made through Dartmouth or provided directly to the PI.

        • Identifying instances where funds requested in the project have already been funded (budgetary overlap);
