NASA MFTRP Certification

About

NASA requires senior and key personnel listed on proposals and awards to annually certify that they are not involved in a Malign Foreign Talent Recruitment Program (MFTRP), in accordance with the CHIPS & Science Act of 2022. This certification confirms the absence of participation with foreign countries of concern. These individuals will receive an email notifying them to certify prior to the expiration date of their certification. Once they have completed their certification, they will receive the certification in their OSU email as an attachment.

Requirements

As required by 42 U.S.C. 19232(a)(1), covered individuals to certify stating that they are not a party to a MFTRP annually after proposal submission for the duration of the award.
