Foreign talent recruitment program disclosure form

NAU encourages international collaborations that are mutually beneficial and characterized by academic freedom, open and reciprocal exchange of information, transparency, and integrity. To comply with federal law and regulations, NAU requires all covered individuals on a sponsored project proposal to disclose participation in Foreign Talent Recruitment Programs (FTRP) and certify that they are not party to a Malign FTRP. Covered individuals must disclose and certify prior to proposal submission and annually thereafter for the duration of the award. See the Participation in Foreign Talent Recruitment Programs policy for more information.

A “covered individual” is anyone, including faculty, staff, students, and subrecipient awardees, who a) contributes significantly to the design and/or execution of a research and development project that is, or if selected for award would be, funded by a Federal or non-federal sponsor, and b) is designated as key or senior personnel for the proposed research project.

View the list of common international collaboration activities that do not qualify as FTRPs and don’t need to be disclosed in the Participation in Foreign Talent Recruitment Programs Policy FAQs.

Participation in a FTRP may be acceptable as long as the arrangement is approved by the individual’s supervisor, chair and/or dean and the FTRP does not meet the definition of a Malign FTRP.

All investigators must complete, certify, and submit this form to the Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP) prior to proposal submission and annually for the duration of any sponsored project.
