Is NSF still processing awards to institutions in the affected areas?
Yes. NSF is continuing to process awards to institutions affected by the Hurricane. However, later start date can be requested by contacting the NSF Program Officer managing your proposal. Back to the Top My host institution wants to reimburse me for my grant-related travel at this time, with the expectation that my home institution will later make the funds up using the grant money they have received from NSF. This is, in essence, a loan. What do I need to do to make this happen? NSF strongly recommends that a PI obtain, in advance, a commitment from their home institution to honor the arrangement (e.g. repay the loan). Without such a commitment, the PI may be held personally liable by the host institution for the loan amount. At minimum, it is recommended that a PI obtain a letter of intent from an appropriate authority at the home institution. This should be followed up with a formal subcontract agreement between host and home institutions once the situation stabilizes.
