| Office of Research Updates New Federal Requirements for Research Security Training
Federal agencies are now requiring investigators to complete research security training before a proposal is submitted. The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) will begin enforcing the research security training requirement for all federal proposals submitted on or after Wednesday, Oct. 1. All researchers in senior/key personnel roles on federally funded or proposed projects should complete this one-hour training by Wednesday, Oct. 1. Refer to the Research Security Training webpage for more information and access. Proposal Approval Form Replaced IRR Form
As of Aug. 15, the new Proposal Approval Form (PAF) has replaced the IRR form. As you get familiar with the new form, please review the Form Guidelines and FAQs [PDF]. OSP FY26 Budget Template

Information is available about executive orders and regulatory guidance, FAQs and guidance from individual agencies. NSF Broader Impacts and Compliance with Executive Orders
If you are contacted by a federal agency program officer to ensure that your current and/or pending awards are compliant with current policy, please consult with OSP research administrators for guidance before responding. Guidance on how to be responsive in proposals to NSF new guidance can be found on our SharePoint page. NIH Restrictions on Foreign Collaborators
The NIH has intensified scrutiny of international research partnerships, particularly in regard to foreign talent recruitment programs, undisclosed financial support and data/material sharing with foreign entities. More information on how to remain compliant can be found on the Office of Sponsored Programs website. | | | | | |

Deadline: Wednesday, Oct. 15 Team Building for Large, Collaborative Grants
These awards, intended for researchers with a track record of securing sponsored funding, aim to facilitate the development of collaborative research teams and support planning activities that enable the submission of a competitive research proposal to an external sponsor.
Deadline: Rolling Faculty Bridge Funding Program
The purpose of this program is to allow a minimal level of activity while a proven principal investigator awaits expected federal funding, e.g., to prevent loss of key postdoctoral researchers, research faculty/staff or senior graduate students or loss of research materials in the interim period.
Deadline: Rolling | | | | | |

This program is designed to help meet the costs of travel to libraries and archives for research purposes or the purchase of microfilm, photocopies or equivalent research materials.
Deadline: Wednesday, Oct. 1 NSF Smart Health and Biomedical Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Data Science
This program supports high-risk, high-reward interdisciplinary research that combines computing, engineering, data science and behavioral and cognitive sciences to tackle biomedical and public health challenges and drive transformative health innovations.
Deadline: Friday, Oct. 3 NIH Extramural Loan Repayment Program
This program can help relieve escalating costs of advanced education and training in medicine and clinical specialties by repaying up to $50,000 annually of a researcher’s qualified educational debt in return for a commitment to engage in NIH mission-relevant research.
Deadline: Thursday, Nov. 20 NSF STEM K-12
This program supports fundamental, applied and translational research that advances STEM teaching and learning and improves understanding of education across the human lifespan and a range of formal and informal settings.
