    The National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced new maximum amounts for civil monetary penalties, which will start on January 15, 2025. These adjustments are based on the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015, and follow a cost-of-living increase set by recent guidance. The penalty for standard violations under the Antarctic Conservation Act has been adjusted to $21,568, while knowing violations will be penalized with up to $36,498. For violations under the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act, the maximum penalty is now $14,308.

    The National Science Foundation is saying that starting on January 15, 2025, if someone breaks certain rules, the money they have to pay can be a little more because of inflation. For some rules, breaking them can cost up to $21,568, or more, and other types can cost up to $36,498 and $14,308, depending on how bad the rule-breaking is.

  • 2024-31241 — Agency Information Collection Activities: Comment Request; Annual and Final Report Template
    Type:Notice
    Citation:89 FR 106609
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The National Science Foundation (NSF) is planning to introduce a new collection to gather information on grantee reporting requirements specific to its Accelerating Research through International Network-to-Network Collaboration (AccelNet) Program. This action is in line with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. NSF is inviting public comments on this proposal until February 28, 2025. The proposed modification focuses on creating a tailored report template that reflects the international networking aims of the AccelNet program, as opposed to the NSF's standard template which does not adequately address these aspects.

    Simple Explanation

    The National Science Foundation wants to ask people what they think about a new way to gather information from scientists who work together around the world. They want to know if this new plan makes sense and if it will help them learn more things that could only be discovered by these international team-ups.
