Good morning!

Please check in with your Sponsored Programs GM if the following changes your plans for an NSF submission and you now want to submit before June 13, 2025.

NSF update: https://www.nsf.gov/policies/document/indirect-cost-rate

"NSF is temporarily pausing implementation of the NSF Policy Notice: Implementation of Standard 15% Indirect Cost Rate, NSF 25-034, through June 13, when a hearing is scheduled to occur in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. New NSF awards issued during this pause will not implement NSF 25-034, but will include a term applying NSF 25-034 for the entirety of the award upon a court decision permitting application of the policy."
