We wanted to make you aware that the NSF Award Terms and Conditions have been updated to implement the revised 2 CFR published in the Federal Register on April 22, 2024, by the Office of Management and Budget. As part of its implementation strategy, NSF has archived the Research Terms and Conditions (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 Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer recipients), State and local governments, and Tribal Nations.
The updated suite of award terms and conditions includes the:
• Grant General Conditions (GC-1);

The revised award terms and conditions will apply to new NSF awards and funding amendments to existing NSF awards made on or after October 1, 2024. You are encouraged to review the Summary of Changes document associated with each set of terms and conditions.
