NSF-Funded Research: Publication Guidelines & Award Updates Amid Executive Orders

Our clients frequently ask us about the implications of recent executive orders (EOs) on their NSF-funded projects. A common question we’ve received is:

Can You Publish Outcomes from Your NSF-Funded Research? Yes!

If you’ve been conducting research funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and are concerned about recent executive orders (EOs) impacting your ability to publish findings, here’s what you need to know:

  • You are free to publish results from your current work, including research accomplished before the executive orders were issued, regardless of the topic area.
  • NSF’s publication policies remain unchanged, meaning there are no restrictions on disseminating your research.

Do You Need to Acknowledge NSF Funding? Absolutely.

While publishing your work, it is essential to acknowledge NSF support. NSF’s standard terms and conditions still apply, so be sure to include a funding acknowledgment in your publication.

How Will You Be Notified of NSF Award Changes?

If NSF makes any changes to your award in response to executive orders, they will notify you through normal communication channels. No immediate modifications to existing awards have been announced, but staying informed through NSF updates is advisable.

Additionally, stay updated with NSF announcements or clarifications by visiting their official webpage dedicated to Executive Orders and related FAQs here: NSF Executive Orders Guidance.

We’re committed to keeping you informed on these important updates, ensuring your continued success in research and dissemination activities.
