This next news item is so important, I’m going to repeat it! It’s for all faculty applying for federal funding. Effective May 20 for NSF and effective August 8 for other federal agencies, all universities must review any proposed key personnel before submission! That means George Mason ORIE must review every person listed as proposed project personnel and certify that no one has a connection to a "Maligned Foreign Talent Recruitment Program" or MFTRP.
FAQs

-
What, why now, and where did this come from? Under the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, effective August 9, 2024, federal agencies are prohibited from providing funding for any proposal in which a “Covered Individual” (Key Personnel on your grant) is participating in a malign foreign talent recruitment program (MFTRP). Foreign talent recruitment programs (FTRPs) are efforts directly or indirectly organized, managed, or funded by a foreign government to legitimately recruit science and technology professionals or students in targeted fields. Many of these programs use legitimate means to attract talent, such as research fellowships and grants to incentivize researchers to physically relocate. However, several Federal agencies have cited talent recruitment programs as a potential threat to the U.S. research community, for example, through the unauthorized transfer of intellectual property and proprietary information. These so-called malign foreign talent recruitment programs (MFTRPs), are prohibited as of May 20, 2024. In practice, this means that any affiliations with or funding from FTRPs need to be reviewed by research administrators to ensure there are no prohibitions. (See attached memo for more information.)
-
What does this mean for your pre-award team in CPH? Your pre-award team in CPH will remind you to nail down your proposal budget ASAP. The MFTRP review, obviously, cannot occur until your budget is completed. Your pre-award team will then send the budget and biosketch documents to ORIA for MFTRP review, while your other proposal documents are being completed. The review takes time and is an additional step that CPH cannot control.
- What does this mean for you? It is imperative that your budget, biosketches, and current and pending/other support be done as soon as possible and no less than (7-10) business days before your submission deadline. Subcontract personnel also must be reviewed.
-
What this means for all of us? This is a new step for all of us, we know it's painful, and it is, unfortunately, unavoidable. The CPH Office of Research is here to help you. We need your help in return. Remember, budgets ASAP and no less than 7 - 10 business days before submission deadline.
