How to Acknowledge NCIBC in your publications and presentations
COBRE support cannot be used for research that includes foreign components. If such components are involved, NIH prior approval is required.
For FY 2026:
- If there are any publications with a foreign co-author, a statement submitted through the Signing Official (SO) confirming the author will no longer publish or collaborate with the foreign partner is sufficient to show the collaboration has ended. Also indicate that no IDeA money was transferred via subcontract to an institution in a foreign country. This path will minimize delays.
For FY2027 onward:
- PIs are required to submit prior approval requests for any publication co-authored with individual(s) affiliated with a foreign institution(s).
- Per NOT-OD-26-026, prior approval requests must be initiated and submitted by a SO for the recipient organization.
- In addition to noting the foreign site and the name of the foreign investigator, the prior approval request should provide information about the nature of the research being conducted; why the involvement of the foreign site is necessary; and whether any data will be transferred.
Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) of IDeA grant assumes responsibility for ensuring that the grant:
- Aligns with NIH priorities
- Complies with the Notice of Grant Award
- Meets all Notice of Funding Opportunity requirements including that foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are not allowed. Collaborations with investigators at a foreign site anticipated to result in co-authorship constitutes a foreign component.
