NIST will also review available information (e.g., the Current and Pending Support Forms and Resumes or CVs) to assess whether the applicant or any covered individuals are subject to any undue foreign influence or interference by foreign strategic competitors or governments of countries that have a history of IP theft, research misconduct, or targeting U.S. technology for unauthorized transfer.

The CHIPS and Science Act defines a “covered individual” as an individual who (A) contributes in a substantive, meaningful way to the scientific development or execution of a research and development project proposed to be carried out with a research and development award from a Federal research agency; and (B) is designated as a covered individual by the Federal research agency concerned. </span><span> </span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW164289058 BCX0"><p class="Paragraph SCXW164289058 BCX0"><span lang="EN-US">Those designated as covered individuals must disclose the amount, type and source of all current and pending research support, which includes both monetary and non-monetary support, and certify that the disclosure is current, accurate, and complete. All covered individuals will undergo a NIST research security review that includes consideration of, for instance, current and pending research support and potential conflicts of interest or conflicts of commitment.</span><span> </span></p></div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW164289058 BCX0"><p class="Paragraph SCXW164289058 BCX0"><span lang="EN-US">NIST generally does not consider individuals who only conduct isolated tasks incidental to the research (for example, setting up equipment or performing administrative functions) or individuals who support research by executing discrete tasks as directed as covered individuals. Consistent with guidance for implementing NSPM-33, disclosures from broader classes of individuals (e.g., certain graduate students and undergraduate students) will generally be unnecessary, except when the activities of such an individual in a specific proposal rise to the level of meeting the definition of a “covered individual” under 42 U.S.C. § 6605(d)(1). For instance, NIST views authorship of a technical or scholarly publication as evidence of a truly substantial professional contribution to the research, given an author’s participation in conceiving or evolving the project design, executing one or more significant aspects of the project, or documenting the project results in a form accessible to the scientific community.</span><span> </span></p></div>
