    The Biographical Sketch Common Form, updated November 1, 2023, provides instructions for senior/key personnel on Federally funded research projects to submit a biographical sketch. Its purpose is to assess the qualifications of individuals, teams, or organizations for proposed activities. The form mandates disclosure of foreign government-sponsored talent recruitment programs and other foreign affiliations, prohibiting participation in malign foreign talent recruitment programs. A reference table, "NSPM-33 Implementation Guidance Pre- and Post-award Disclosures," clarifies reporting requirements and updates. Individuals must not include personal information. The sketch requires identifying information (name, PID, position title), organization and location, professional preparation (education and training), and appointments and positions (academic, professional, institutional, domestic, and foreign within the last three years). It also requires a list of products demonstrating qualifications and a certification confirming the accuracy of information and non-participation in malign foreign talent recruitment programs. Misrepresentations can lead to prosecution. The document also includes privacy act and burden statements, indicating that information is collected under the National Science Foundation Act of 1950 and is voluntary, though failure to provide it may reduce the chances of receiving an award.
