NASA Disclosure Updates/Reminders

Two Important NASA Disclosure Updates/Reminders:

1. Update: The NASA-specific Biographical sketch and Current and Pending (other) Support (CPOS) disclosure forms are now available within Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae (SciENcv).
   • NASA will accept disclosure forms in either the Word fillable format that can be found on the NASA Grants Policy and Compliance website and Stanford's NASA Disclosures webpages or the SciENcv format thru August 31, 2026. 
   • Effective September 1, 2026, NASA will only accept the NASA-specific SciENcv biosketch and CPOS forms in grant and cooperative agreement proposals.
2.  Reminder: Effective August 5, 2026, principal investigators and covered individuals* named in NASA proposals must complete Research Security Training ("RST") within 12 months prior to proposal submission.
   • Complete Stanford’s Research Security Training (DOR-2000) The course takes less than an hour to complete.
   • *A  NASA covered individual is any Principal Investigator (PI) (regardless of level of effort), any CoPI (regardless of level of effort), and only CoInvestigators (Co-I) proposing to spend ten percent or more of their time in any given year on a NASA-funded award.  NASA funding organizations may designate additional personnel categories as covered individuals on a project-by-project basis, and these designations will be explicitly stated in all Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs).
   • Covered individuals named on a NASA grant or cooperative agreement proposal must certify that they have satisfied the training requirement by signing a certification on the NASA biographical sketch and current and pending (other) support forms.
   • The SeRA system displays each listed Stanford senior key person's Research Security Training status and completion date from STARS within the SeRA Proposal Development & Routing Form (PDRF), specifically the Project Questions page within the Training section.
   • Institutional Officials (OSR Contract and Grant Officers and SoM RMG Research Process Managers) will verify as part of DoE proposal reviews that all Stanford senior key persons listed within NASA applications have completed Research Security Training within 12 months from the training data listed in SeRA and certify to this institutionally at the time of application submission.
   • Refer to NASA Training Requirement for Faculty and Researchers for more information.
