Are there any eligibility restrictions on who may be supported using Recovery Act funds?
The NSF Director has made a commitment to follow established Foundation policies and procedures for submission, merit review and award of proposals funded under the Recovery Act. Therefore, unless modified by a specific program solicitation, the eligibility policies contained in the NSF Grant Proposal Guide Chapter I.E. “Who May Submit Proposals” apply and the Foundation will continue to make funding decisions based on the intellectual merit and broader impacts of submitted proposals. Some exceptions to this general guidance are provided in Section 1604 of the Recovery Act which states that “None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available in this Act may be used by any State or local government, or any private entity, for any casino or other gambling establishment, aquarium, zoo, golf course, or swimming pool.” In accordance with this ARRA provision, no awards or subawards may be made using ARRA funds to support any of these types of establishments and/or facilities.
