Agency-Specific Proposal Guidance

The Division of Research provides updated guidance whenever agencies make changes to proposal requirements to help ensure research proposals are competitive and compliant with federal rules.

Guidance for each agency includes requirements for disclosing project support. Federal sponsors closely examine the full disclosure of project support due to concerns about underreporting of research funding and foreign sources. It is crucial to provide complete and accurate information about research support in all grant and contract proposals as required.

Since disclosure requirements for project support can vary by sponsor, ensure that you include all necessary information in accordance with each agency’s instructions.
