So further down in this section on Current and Pending Support in the Grant Proposal Guide (In the GPG section of the PAPP 11-1, page II-18): "Similar information must be provided for all proposals already submitted or submitted concurrently to other possible sponsors, including NSF."  So the guidelines cited below apply to both current and pending support information.

The question isn't about a funded project. It's about a pending application.

I'd say yes. The guidelines clearly state that information must be provided about "all current project support from whatever source," and that "[t]he proposed project and all other projects or activities requiring a portion of time of the PI ...must be included, even if they receive no salary support from the project(s)." I read that to mean that if they're either (a) getting money (even if it isn't salary) or (b) committing time, or (c) both, they have to report.

Out of curiosity, why is the faculty member reluctant to list a funded project? Since C&P information is primarily used to demonstrate a record of support for an investigator's research, and also to demonstrate that s/he isn't overcommitted, it's normally a positive to have something other than the proposed project listed.

But would this apply to sources of private funding in which there is no commitment of effort?

Per guidance from NSF at their regional conference earlier this fall,  yes.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Question about NSF Current and Pending Support

GPG instructions for Current and Pending Support state:

"This section of the proposal calls for required information on all current and pending support for ongoing projects and proposals, including subsequent funding in the case of continuing grants. All current project support from whatever source (e.g., Federal, State, local or foreign government agencies, public or private foundations, industrial or other commercial organizations) must be listed. The proposed project and all other projects or activities requiring a portion of time of the PI and other senior personnel must be included, even if they receive no salary support from the project(s)...."

My question - is the PI required to include pending support from every source? I'm having a difference of opinion with a PI.

Thank you!
