HMS/HSDM Updated Guidance/New Template (Other Support)

ORA revised "Other Support" guidance to align with the chart on NIH’s Protecting U.S. Biomedical Intellectual Innovation. Note that information on positions, affiliations and appointment has been moved to the Biosketch, with the exception of participation in a foreign talent program, which should continue to be reported as other support. In addition, post-docs, students, and visiting scholars should be included as "other support" only if they are supported by a foreign government or institution. We’ve also created two new templates, one for new other support submitted at JIT and one for updated other support submitted in an RPPR. The guidance and templates are located on ORA's website, Policies and Guidance page under NIH Other Support.
