Consistent with the research security compliance process for other sponsors, the University of Iowa Routing Form will be updated to reflect the NASA reseach security training requirements summarized below. Effective August 1, 2026, routing forms for NASA applications cannot be submitted via Workflow if any Senior/Key Personnel on the application have not completed the required training.
NASA Research Security Requirements
In accordance with Grant Information Circular 26‑02, Research Security Training Requirements, all covered individuals named on NASA grant and cooperative agreement proposals will be required to attest that they have completed research security training prior to proposal submission beginning August 5, 2026.
This attestation will be made by signing a certification included in the NASA biographical sketch and current and pending (other) support forms. To support your preparation, NASA is providing advance copies of the updated forms that will be required starting August 5, 2026. The new attestation related to research security training is highlighted within these documents.
Please note: Do not use these updated forms before August 5, 2026. Until that date, continue to use the current biographical sketch and current and pending support forms available on the NASA Grant Operations Management website under “Grant Forms.”
SciENcv Disclosure Forms Transition
NASA applicants are currently able to access and complete the NASA-specific biographical sketch and current and pending (other) support forms within SciENcv, a National Institutes of Health, National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) system that supports the creation, management, and sharing of standardized disclosure forms. NASA will accept disclosure forms in either the Word fillable format or SciENcv format until August 31, 2026. Starting September 1, 2026, NASA will only accept the NASA-specific, SciENcv-developed forms in grant and cooperative agreement proposals:
