CURRENT AND PENDING (OTHER) SUPPORT COMMON FORM 

November 1, 2023

The individual agrees to update this disclosure at the request of the National Institute of 

Standards and Technology (NIST) prior to the award of support and at any subsequent 

time NIST determines appropriate during the term of the award. (Refer to NIST's policy on 

updating award support). 

Instructions for Submission of the Current and Pending (Other) Support Common Form 

Current and pending (other) support information is used to assess the capacity or any conflicts 

of commitment that may impact the ability of the individual to carry out the research effort as 

proposed. The information also helps assess any potential scientific and 

budgetary overlap/duplication with the project being proposed. 

This document provides instructions on submission of current and pending (other) support 

information for each individual identified as a senior/key person on a Federally 

funded research project.

A separate submission must be provided for each proposal and active project, as well as in-kind 

contributions using the instructions and format specified below. Note that there is no page 

limitation for this section of the application, though some fields have character limitations for 

consistency and equity. 

Consulting activities must be disclosed under the proposals and active projects section of the 

form when any of the following scenarios apply: 

• The consulting activity will require the senior/key person to perform research as part of

the consulting activity;

• The consulting activity does not involve performing research, but is related to the

senior/key person’s research portfolio and may have the ability to impact funding, alter

time or effort commitments, or otherwise impact scientific integrity; or

• The consulting entity has provided a contract that requires the senior/key person to

conceal or withhold confidential financial or other ties between the senior/key person and

the entity, irrespective of the duration of the engagement.

Consistent with NSPM-33, individuals are required to disclose contracts associated with 

participation in programs sponsored by foreign governments, instrumentalities, or entities, 

including foreign government-sponsored talent recruitment programs. Further, if individuals 

receive direct or indirect support that is funded by a foreign government-sponsored talent 

recruitment program, even where the support is provided through an intermediary and does not 

require membership in the foreign government-sponsored talent recruitment program, that 

support must be disclosed. Individuals must also report other foreign government sponsored or 

affiliated activities. In accordance with 42 USC § 19232, individuals are prohibited from being a 

party in a malign foreign talent recruitment program.

In accordance with the NSPM-33 Implementation Guidance, senior/key persons typically do not include graduate

students.
