"NASA Research Announcements" NFS 1835.016-71 "Instructions for Responding to NASA NFS 1852.235-72 Research Announcements" Contact with NASA personnel: While NASA program personnel may be contacted to discuss general program objectives with prospective proposers, they are forbidden from providing specific advice on budgetary or technical issues beyond those published in the FA that would give an unfair competitive advantage unless this same information is openly available to all interested proposers. Restriction on the Use of Classified Material It is NASA policy that proposals should not contain security-classified material. However, should the project proposed approach require access to classified information, or should the result of the project generate such material, the proposer shall comply with all Government security regulations. Pre-Award Costs For a grants or cooperative agreements, expenses incurred within the 90-day period preceding the effective date of the award may be authorized, but such expenses are made at the recipient's risk. NASA will not pay any pre-award costs incurred for unfunded proposals. Limited Release of Proposers Confidential Business Information For proposal evaluation and other administrative processing NASA may find it necessary to release information submitted by the proposer to individuals not employed by NASA. Business information that would ordinarily be entitled to confidential treatment may be included in the information released to these individuals. Accordingly, by submission of this proposal the proposer hereby consents to a limited release of its confidential business information (CBI). Proposals Involving Non-U.S. Organizations Except as set forth in the certification regarding restriction on doing business with China, NASA welcomes proposals from non-U.S. organizations and proposals that include the participation of non-U.S. organizations. Proposals that propose research to be performed by a non-U.S. organization or with a non-U.S. organization as part of a proposal submitted by a U.S. organization are normally supported through a non-exchange of funds agreement. This policy pertains to the nature of the proposing organization, and not the nationality or citizenship of the individuals listed in the proposal. If a proposal with a non-U.S. partner is selected, NASA will determine whether such participation should be covered by and implemented through an international agreement between NASA and the sponsoring foreign agency or funding/sponsoring institution under which the parties agree to each bear the cost of discharging their respective responsibilities.
