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. This form assesses an individual's qualifications for proposed activities and requires disclosure of all foreign government-sponsored activities, including talent recruitment programs, consistent with NSPM-33 guidance. Individuals are prohibited from participating in malign foreign talent recruitment programs and must avoid submitting personal information. The sketch mandates sections for identifying information, persistent identifier, position title, organization, professional preparation (education and training), appointments and positions (domestic and foreign, up to three years), and products demonstrating qualifications. Each section has specific formatting and content requirements. A certification confirming accuracy and non-participation in malign foreign talent recruitment programs is mandatory, with penalties for misrepresentation. The form also includes privacy act and burden statements, indicating an OMB control number 3145-0279 and an expiration date of 10/31/2026.
