Important information about NSF’s implementation of the revised 2 CFR

NSF Financial Assistance awards (grants and cooperative agreements) made on or after October 1, 2024, will be subject to the applicable set of award conditions, dated October 1, 2024, available on the NSF website. These terms and conditions are consistent with the revised guidance specified in the OMB Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance published in the Federal Register on April 22, 2024.

It is the responsibility of the proposer to ensure that the proposal meets these requirements. Submitting a proposal prior to a specified deadline does not negate this requirement.

Synopsis

The Engineering Biology and Health (EBH) Cluster consists of five programs that focus on the integration of engineering and life sciences to solve problems affecting humanity. The EBH Cluster supports engineering research to improve human health and the understanding of biological and physiological systems. This includes efforts to promote novel and reproducible systems for detection, screening, and modeling in cells and tissues, stimulating advancements in synthetic biology and biomanufacturing, and improving quality of life through technologies and devices. The EBH Cluster has multiple topics that cross programs both within CBET and throughout NSF.
