The National Science Foundation is requesting a non-substantive change to the Proposal and Award Policy and Procedures Guide (3145-0058), in particular, Chapter II.E.9 – Special Processing Instructions, footnote 5:
We would like to suggest the following language change, shown by highlighting:
“For
purposes of this requirement, off-campus or off-site research is
defined as data/information/samples being collected off-campus or
off-site, including
such as fieldwork and research
activities on vessels and aircraft.
We believe that “including” was never supposed to mean an exclusive (“only these things”) list, and changing the phrase to “such as” makes it more clear that these are just examples, which was the original intent.
