The National Science Foundation (NSF) limits salary compensation for senior personnel in the proposal budget to no more than two months of their salary in any one year. NSF requires institutions to define and consistently apply the term “year” and to specify the definition in the budget justification.
For this purpose, the UF Division of Sponsored Programs (DSP) is defining “year” as calendar year.
Please note that the UF Commitment Entry Guidelines located on the Office of Research Effort Reporting & Management website and the Cost Analysis Effort Certification website have been updated.
While the changes are not substantial, the Office of Research would like to emphasize a few important points.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has released a Prospective New Awardee Guide effective January 2018 containing helpful information for understanding the requirements of managing a federal award.
In addition to complying with NSF regulations, recipients of NSF awards are required to comply with applicable federal requirements set forth in 2 CFR §200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. Prospective NSF awardees are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the information contained within 2 CFR §200. Links to these regulations can be found on the NSF website at http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/caar/index.jsp
You can search for potential funding opportunities that a federal agency plans to announce in the future by using the Grants.gov Search and checking “Forecasted” under Opportunity Status.
Agencies list opportunities as “forecasted” when funds are not yet available and are pending budgetary and discretionary spending approvals. Grants.gov encourages agencies to publish their forecasts in the Grants.gov Search; however, you may also find forecasted opportunities listed on the agency’s website.
With the retirement of the Legacy PDF Package on December 31, 2017, Grants.gov launched Workspace as the standard way for organizations or individuals to apply for federal grants. If you are not familiar with Workspace, Grants.gov encourages you to review available resources and training videos to help you set up your Workspace.
The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has released to the public its Grants 101 Training course initially developed for federal grant managers. This grants training is comprised of five modules available online.
