<Title>UMBC Gap Guidance regarding NSF Facility and Administration Policy</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>*<a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/announcements-faculty/posts/149827" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">re-post</a>*<br></div><div><span><p><span>Dear Colleagues,</span></p>
    <p><span>On Friday, May 2, The National Science Foundation (NSF) announced a new </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/announcements-faculty/posts/149827/33073/62c89385ce7b0bea7335e02734dd1481/web/link?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nsf.gov%2Fpolicies%2Fdocument%2Findirect-cost-rate" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>15 percent Facility &amp; Administrative (F&amp;A) Cost Recovery policy</span></a><span>
     for implementation today,  Monday May 5, 2025. This new policy does not
     impact existing or continuations of existing awards.  However, it does 
    impact new awards for already submitted, and to-be-submitted, proposals.</span></p>
    <p><span>As you may know, UMBC’s current </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/announcements-faculty/posts/149827/33073/bdb06a130858271e5503107618d59826/web/link?link=https%3A%2F%2Fumbc.app.box.com%2Fembed%2Fs%2Fhluuuv4m61hhr592a0unaij4h9dahzq6%3FsortColumn%3Ddate%26view%3Dlist%2522%2520width%3D%2522500%2522%2520height%3D%2522400%2522%2520frameborder%3D%25220%2522%2520allowfullscreen%2520webkitallowfullscreen%2520msallowfullscreen%253E%253C%2Fiframe%253E" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>F&amp;A Cost Recovery rates</span></a><span>
     are approved by the federal government (HHS is our Cognizant Federal 
    Agency for our federally-negotiated F&amp;A Rate Agreement across all 
    agencies) after a comprehensive process that includes an audit and 
    review of actual expenditures, as well as an extensive negotiation.  The
     application of the federally approved F&amp;A rates allows UMBC to 
    recover the actual costs required to complete the proposed work in 
    support of our research and creative achievement community.  </span></p>
    <p><span>This new NSF policy has no basis on UMBC’s actual
     costs.  Acceptance of any rate that does not cover UMBC’s costs 
    represents an unsustainable cost burden on UMBC. UMBC has been advised 
    that any proposal submitted to or any approved award accepted from NSF 
    at the 15% F&amp;A rate may represent legal acceptance of this capped 
    rate for </span><span>all</span><span> of our federal contracts and grants. </span></p>
    <p><span>UMBC anticipates that, as with other 
    agencies who have attempted similar policies, a Temporary Restraining 
    Order (TRO) will be placed on this NSF F&amp;A policy.  However, there 
    may be a gap between such a TRO and an award issuance or proposal 
    submission.  </span></p>
    <p><span>Therefore, at this time, UMBC will only 
    submit proposals to and accept awards from NSF utilizing our federally 
    negotiated and approved F&amp;A Cost Recovery rates.  Please understand 
    that there is a valid concern that proposals submitted with an F&amp;A 
    Rate above the 15% cap may be returned to the institution without 
    review.  We will not be able to accept any NSF awards with a 15% F&amp;A
     cap at this time.</span></p>
    <p><span>While we appreciate the potential negative 
    impact this decision may have on members in our research and creative 
    achievement community, we hope this gap guidance will become moot once a
     TRO has been issued.     </span></p>
    <p><span>To learn more about F&amp;A at UMBC, please see the </span><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/announcements-faculty/posts/149827/33073/d141f07ad1a77da89976ec43a7dda458/web/link?link=https%3A%2F%2Fresearch.umbc.edu%2Fumbc-fa-rate-information%2F" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>UMBC F&amp;A Rate Information page</span></a><span>.      </span></p>
    <p><span>Sincerely,</span></p>

<Title>Best Practices for Retaining Sponsored Project Records &amp; Confirmations</Title>
<Tagline>Save your documentation!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p><span>Greetings,</span></p>
    
    <p><span>Partly due to some of the
     recent rumors that have been circulating over the past several weeks, OSP
    would like to remind UMBC’s Research and Creative Achievement (RCA) community
    of best practices regarding sponsored projects. </span></p>
    
    <p><span>Principal Investigators should
    retain a copy of ALL deliverables that have been submitted to a Sponsor as well
    as ANY record of confirmation or acceptance of the deliverable by the
    Sponsor.  Sponsors will often send formal acceptance emails of deliverables
    and reports that have been submitted. Grant portals, such as <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.google.com/url?q%3Dhttp://research.gov%26source%3Dgmail-imap%26ust%3D1746194004000000%26usg%3DAOvVaw1IIOi4l3zyl8QT4VVdrZep&amp;source=gmail-imap&amp;ust=1746534505000000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2OuqsfjFjWN129KXHsg1XX" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>research.gov</span></a> or <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://public.era.nih.gov/commonsplus/public/login.era?TARGET%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fpublic.era.nih.gov%253A443%252Fcommons&amp;source=gmail-imap&amp;ust=1746534505000000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3oI0lqYDOmFIqVSGwGHpsS" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>eRA Commons</span></a>, will
    also have a record of these submissions and confirmation which may
    be printed (print to PDF or paper) or saved with a screen shot (as a PDF or
    picture). </span></p>
    
    <p><span>All of the documentation
    should be retained for no less than three (3) years after the end of the award
    to comply with federal record retention regulations.</span></p>
    
    <p><span>Best Regards,</span></p>
