Throughout this system you will be given or offered (usually by clicking ) detailed explanations about the purposes for which the information we ask of you will be used. Most of the information you supply will be made available (over the Web or otherwise) to your community and the general public. However, demographic data on individual participants in the project will be held very closely to protect privacy. Where this system requests such data, we offer particularly detailed explanations about how it is intended to be used.

You should ensure that your project report contains no Invention Disclosures that might adversely affect patent rights in a subject invention under this award. For more information, consult the administrative office that handles patents and other intellectual property at your institution.

You may wish to review the Official Privacy Act and Public Burden Statements covering all information (except for demographic data on individuals) that NSF requests on proposal forms and project reports.
