The Foundation shall establish procedures to ensure that— a research grant awarded by the Foundation to a principal investigator does not duplicate the scientific aims and scope of any grant awarded to the same investigator by another Federal agency; a principal investigator includes in any application for a research grant awarded by the Foundation a list of all Federal research funding received by the principal investigator, as well as any funding that is being requested as of that time; unpublished research results used to support a grant proposal made to the Foundation do not include any knowing misrepresentations of data; principal investigators who have received more than 5 years of Foundation funding at any point in their careers, other than graduate and post-doctoral traineeship awards, are only awarded additional research grants by the Foundation if they will be contributing original, creative, and transformative research under the grant; and principal investigators who receive Foundation research grant funding under more than one grant at the same time have sufficient resources to conduct the proposed research under each of those grants appropriately under the terms of the grant.
