What expectations does NSF have for oversight and monitoring of awards particularly with respect to financial accountability and research ethics?
The program solicitation requires PIs together with their home institutions to develop and submit an “Oversight Plan” for managing any and all subawards. The Oversight Plan should address such functions as financial accountability, compliance with specific research-related regulations (e.g., use of recombinant DNA, agricultural bioterrorism, animal and human subjects, etc.), and the ethical conduct of research. PIs can request in the proposed budget resources to enable the PI and his/her institution to conduct monitoring, oversight and training, as appropriate, to ensure successful project outcomes.
