About this file

This is a certifications and representations document that outlines mandatory compliance requirements for applicants to the Naval Postgraduate School Research Initiatives grant opportunity under the Department of the Navy. By checking "I Agree" on the SF-424 or SF-424 (R&R) forms, applicants certify compliance with six key Department of Defense requirements as the duly authorized agent for their organization.

The certifications require: (1) that the organization does not mandate confidentiality agreements that restrict employees, contractors, or subrecipients from reporting fraud, waste, or abuse to federal investigators; (2) that all key personnel have disclosed the amount, type, and source of all current and pending research support; (3) that such disclosures are current, accurate, and complete; (4) agreement to update disclosures at agency request prior to award and during the award term; (5) agreement to update disclosures at Department of Defense request prior to award and during the award term; and (6) that the applying entity has been made aware of all certification requirements. These representations apply to research initiatives in STEM categories supported by the Office of Naval Research under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300), which offers grants and cooperative agreements with typical periods of performance of 3–5 years.
