Virtual Office Hour: Biological Research and Tribal Nations

Virtual Office Hour (VOH): Biological Research and Tribal Nations
Learn more about new requirements in the PAPPG for how researchers interact with tribal nations
A change to the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG, NSF 24-1), which went into effect on May 20, 2024, alters the requirements for proposals and awards that impact the resources or interests of a federally recognized American Indian or Alaska Native Tribal Nation* (see Chapter II.E.10).
To help inform the community about these changes and their potential impacts on biological sciences research, the NSF Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) will hold a Virtual Office Hour on July 23, 2024 from 2:00 to 3:00 pm ET.
Register in advance for this VOH session
BIO staff will be joined by staff from NSF's Policy Office, Office of the Director, and Directorate for STEM Education to outline the new requirements.
All members of the biological sciences community should feel welcome to attend as the session will attempt to cover the impact on a variety of biological subdisciplines. Individuals from outside the biological sciences are also welcome.
The event will be recorded and a recording will be posted here shortly after the event.
*There are 574 federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native nations (Tribal Nations). These nations may be referred to as tribes, nations, bands, pueblos, communities, or native villages.
What is research that impacts Tribal Nations?
Examples of such activities may include, but are not limited to, the following:research or projects that involve Tribal Nation members and would invoke the Tribal Nation in any way (including but not limited to referencing a Tribal Nation in materials, public forums, or publications);
carrying out studies or research on Tribal Nation reservations, territories, and other locations where Tribal Nations have legally protected rights to resources or to engage in activities; and
using Tribal Nation-controlled information or data in research
