    The document outlines the requirements for submitting the Current and Pending (Other) Support Common Form for federal research funding proposals, effective November 1, 2023. It emphasizes the necessity for individuals identified as senior/key persons in federally funded projects to disclose their current and pending support, including any consulting activities and in-kind contributions. This information is vital for assessing potential conflicts of commitment, scientific integrity, and overlap with proposed projects. The form requires details such as personal information, organization details, project titles, funding sources, timelines, and financial commitments. Special attention is given to disclosures related to foreign government-sponsored support, in line with NSPM-33 guidance. Certifications affirming accurate reporting and non-participation in malign foreign talent recruitment programs are also mandated. The document also includes privacy protections, a statement about the voluntary nature of information submission, and outlines the estimated public reporting burden. Ultimately, it serves as a structured guide to ensure transparency and compliance in the research funding process, which is crucial for the integrity of federally supported research initiatives.
