Examples

Worked examples

Counter-examples

Looks similar, but isn't

  • Not an instance

    A proposal that the PI is drafting but has not submitted is not yet pending in the disclosure sense.

  • Not an instance

    A declined proposal that has received its formal decision is no longer pending.

Editorial commentary

Pending grants disclosure provides reviewers and programme officers with visibility into a researcher's overall funding portfolio in flight, enabling overlap, effort, and scope assessments. The disclosure typically includes the same fields as active grants and is required by both NSF and NIH. The proposal under consideration is itself listed as pending. Pending support must be updated promptly when proposals are awarded, withdrawn, or declined.
