Agency Specific Guidance

Over the past two years the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Defense (DOD), along with the White House Office of Science and Technology Program (OSTP), have issued various communications to define concerns and issue guidance, and a key focus has been on disclosure.

Below is a list of key communications from the agencies whose funding and guidance is most important to UMass Chan researchers. Please check specific funding opportunity announcements and relevant agency grant policies for individual applications. Note: Because the federal and UMass Chan responses to foreign influence concerns are still evolving we will update these pages as additional guidance becomes available.
