    The Current and Pending (Other) Support Common Form outlines the requirements for individuals involved in federally funded research projects to disclose their current and pending support. This information is essential for evaluating potential conflicts of commitment and assessing any overlap with proposed projects. Each senior/key person on a project must submit separate disclosures for each proposal and active research, detailing all sources of funding and contributions. This includes consulting activities that could impact research integrity and any contracts with foreign government programs, as stipulated by NSPM-33. The document emphasizes the necessity of excluding personal information and provides a structured format for reporting support details, including proposals, projects, and in-kind contributions over $5000. Additionally, it requires certifications about the accuracy of disclosed information and adherence to federal regulations regarding foreign talent recruitment. The submission is voluntary, but lack of complete disclosure could affect funding opportunities. Overall, this form serves to maintain transparency and integrity within federally supported research endeavors.
