NSF Award Terms and Conditions have been updated to implement the revised 2 CFR published in the Federal Register on April 22, 2024. As part of its implementation strategy, NSF has archived the Research Terms and Concitions (RTC) and the NSF Agency Specific Requirements. Unless otherwise specified, the Grant General Conditions (GC-1) apply to all recipients of NSF grant awards, including Institutions of Higher Education; non-profit, non-academic organizations; for-profit organizations (other than SBIR/SBTT recipients); state and local governments; and Tribal Nations. 

The revised terms and conditions will apply to all new NSF awards and funding agreements to existing NSF awards made on or after October 1, 2024. NSF will hold a webinar on September 12 to provide the framework for the revisions and how they impact NSF awards. You can email the NSF Policy Office in the Division of Institution and Award Support (DIAS) with any questions at policy@nsf.gov.
