Current & Pending (Other) Support

Many sponsors require investigators and project senior/key personnel to disclose in proposals, or during the award process, all current and pending (other) resources made available in support of, or related to, all of their research.

Not properly disclosing all resources in accordance with a sponsor's requirements can have serious consequences. It is critical to closely review and adhere to each sponsor’s specific requirements.
