Dear Dr. Severino-Valdez:
The National Science Foundation hereby awards a grant of $1,501,888 to University of Puerto Rico Rio Piedras Campus for support of the project described in the proposal referenced above as modified by revised budget dated October 16, 2015. This award is expected to total $3,920,001.
This project, entitled "LTER: LTER5: Understanding Ecosystem Change in Northeastern Puerto Rico," is under the direction of
Jess K. Zimmerman, Whendee Silver, Grizelle Gonzalez, Michael R. Willig, Nicholas V. Brokaw.
This award starts April 1 , 2016 and ends March 31, 2019.
This is a continuing grant which has been approved on scientific / technical merit. Contingent on the availability of funds and the scientific progress of the project, NSF expects to continue support at approximately the following level:
FY 2017 $1,269,258
FY 2018 $1,148,855
The scientific / technical progress of the project is documented through submission and approval of annual and final project reports to NSF. Such reports are to be submitted electronically via NSF's Research.gov web portal [http://www.research.gov/]. Information regarding the specific due dates of such reports also is available through Research.gov.
This grant is awarded pursuant to the authority of the National Science Foundation Act of 1950, as amended (42 U.S.C. 1861-75) and is subject to NSF Grant General Conditions (GC-1), dated January 25, 2016, available at http://www.nsf.gov/awards/managing/general_conditions.jsp.
This award is subject to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). NSF's implementation of the Uniform Guidance is contained in the Grant Conditions referenced in this award and the following terms and conditions:
This award is subject to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) award term entitled, Reporting Subawards and Executive Compensation, which has been incorporated into the NSF Terms and Conditions referenced above.
If the awardee has any questions related to the pre-populated data associated with this award in the FFATA Subaward Reporting System, such questions should be submitted to: FFATAReporting at nsf.gov or by phone to: (800) 673-6188.
This award is subject to the provisions NSF 13-588 Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Renewal.
Funds provided by this award include support for "Research Experiences for Undergraduates" in accordance with the NSF program solicitation NSF 13-542.
Funds provided for participant support may not be diverted by the awardee to other categories of expense without the prior written approval of the cognizant NSF Program Officer. Since participant support cost is not a normal account classification, the awardee organization must be able to separately identify participant support costs. It is highly recommended that separate accounts, sub-accounts, sub-task, or sub-ledgers be established to accumulate these costs. The awardee should have written policies and procedures to segregate participant support costs.
The Foundation authorizes the awardee to enter into the proposed contractual arrangements and to fund such arrangements with award funds up to the amount indicated in the approved budget or NSF-approved post award requests. For awards made or receiving funding amendments after January 25, 2016, such contractual arrangements should contain appropriate provisions consistent with Articles 8.a.4. and 9 of the NSF Grant General Conditions (GC-1) dated January 25, 2016, as well as any special conditions included in this award.
Federal employees may serve as lecturers or staff members on a project and may receive compensation and/or expenses if they obtain prior approval from their agencies to participate, and if services to the project are performed outside their regular working hours or while they are on leave status from official duties. Under no circumstances may NSF employees receive compensation from an NSF-supported project.
In accordance with sections 1869a and 1869b of title 42 of the United States Code, the awardee will do the following:
1. Obtain from the school board or comparable authority responsible for the schools considering participation in the project, written approval prior to involvement of pre-college students in pre-college education research and development, pilot-testing, evaluation, and revision of experimental and innovative pre-college curriculum.
2. Include in every publication, testing, or distribution agreement involving instructional materials developed under this grant (including, but not limited to, teachers' manuals, textbooks, films, tapes, or other supplementary material) a requirement that such material be made available within the school district using it for inspection by parents or guardians of children engaged in educational programs or projects using such material of that school district.
All materials produced as part of this project, including electronic components such as World Wide Web pages, must include a clear indication of source(s) of support (both NSF and any other contributors.)
Please view the project reporting requirements for this award at the following web address [https://reporting.research.gov/fedAwardId/1546686].
The attached budget indicates the amounts, by categories, on which NSF has based its support.
