Proposal & Award Policies and Procedures guide NSF 18-1

What are participant support Costs (pscs)? The following definition is from the Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR 200.75 and included in the PAPPG : Participant support costs are direct costs such as stipends or subsistence allowances, travel allowances, and registration fees paid to or on behalf of participants or trainees (but not employees) in connection with NSF-sponsored conferences or training projects. In accordance with the PAPPG, participant support costs must be specified, itemized and justified in the budget justification of the proposal; indirect cost recovery is not permitted.

Participant support cost categories defined F 1. Stipends – To help defray the costs of participating in a conference or training activity, funds may be proposed for payment of stipends, per diem or subsistence allowances, based on the type and duration of the activity. F 2. Travel – Funds may be requested for the travel costs of participants. Field Trips: When the purpose of the field trip is directly related to and necessary to meet the objectives of the training activity, costs of transportation for participants can be allowable. F 3. Subsistence Allowance – Food and drink during activities F 4. Other – Registrations fees, tuition, etc. Place all related participant support costs in designated participant cost categories unless otherwise stated in solicitation.

Incentive payments Any additional categories of participant support costs other than those described in 2 CFR § 200.75 (such as incentives, gifts, souvenirs, t-shirts and memorabilia), must be justified in the budget justification, and such costs will be closely scrutinized by NSF.

Participants or Trainees (not employees – exception school districts – teacher training); Funds may not be re-budgeted to other expense categories without prior written approval of the NSF program officer Awardee organizations must be able to identify participant support costs. Highly recommended that separate accounts, sub-accounts sub-task or sub-ledgers be established to account for these costs. Must have written policies & procedures

Participant support with a Modified Total Direct Cost Base Example: 50% indirect cost rate Total Direct Costs = 575,000 Total Participant Support = $200,000 When calculating your indirect cost amount, you must subtract the total amount of participant support costs from the total direct costs: $575,000 ($200,000) $375,000 x 50% = $187,500 (total indirect cost amount)

FAQ’s on Participant support Question (1): May I include conference speaker fees in the participant support costs section of the budget? Answer (1): No, the participant support category is for the support of participants or trainees only. Speakers and trainers are not considered participants and should not be included in this section of the budget.

Question (2): Are costs such as room rental fees, catering, supplies, etc. related to an NSF- sponsored conference considered participant support costs? Answer (2): No, the participant support cost line in the NSF budget should not be used for such costs.

Question (3): How should student employees be budgeted Question (3): How should student employees be budgeted? Answer (3): A student cannot be compensated partially as an employee and as a participant on the same grant. It is up to the proposing organization to determine whether they should be a student employee or a participant based on the role of the student in the project.

Question (4): Do participant support costs apply for all participants, or do they only apply for non-awardee organization participants? Answer (4): Participants from the submitting institution and other institution(s) could be considered participants.
