UC Comments to NSF on Common Disclosure Forms for the Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support

Abstract

This comment letter responds to the National Science Foundation’s request for comments on proposed government-wide common disclosure forms for biographical sketches and current and pending support. UC supports standardized forms as a means of reducing administrative burden but recommends limiting agency-specific exceptions, simplifying certification requirements, harmonizing definitions and submission requirements across agencies, and allowing sufficient time and technological support for implementation.
