NSF’s Standardizes Collaborators and Other Affiliations Information via Spreadsheet

Effective April 24, 2017, The National Science Foundation (NSF) initiated a new spreadsheet template for identifying Collaborators and Other Affiliations Information for Principal Investigators (PIs), co-PIs, and other senior project personnel identified on proposals.

The new spreadsheet will standardize Collaborators and Other Affiliations (COA) information across the Foundation and will ensure that the information is submitted in a searchable format. Results from the pilot will be assessed and will determine how to proceed with this section of the proposal on a future date.

See the NSF notification for complete information and links to the template and associated instructions. The spreadsheet template will also be directly linked to in FastLane.
