SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This collection of information supports NASA's term and condition 
regarding sexual harassment, other forms of harassment, and sexual 
assault. This term and condition requires recipient organizations to 
report to NASA any findings/determinations of sexual harassment, other 
forms of harassment, or sexual assault regarding a NASA funded 
Principle Investigator (PI) or Co-Investigator (Co-I). The new term and 
condition will also require the recipient to report to NASA if the PI 
or Co-I is placed on administrative leave or if the recipient has 
imposed any administrative action on the PI or Co-I, or any 
determination or an investigation of an alleged violation of the 
recipient's policies or codes of conduct, statutes, regulations, or 
executive orders relating to sexual harassment, other forms of 
harassment, or sexual assault.
    In reviewing harassment notifications pursuant to the term and 
condition, it will be necessary for the Agency to have complete 
information provided in a consistent manner. The information provided 
will be used by the Agency to assess the matters reported and to 
consult with the Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR), or 
designee of the reporting institution. Based on the results of this 
review and consultation, NASA may, if necessary, assert its 
programmatic stewardship responsibilities and oversight authority to 
initiate the substitution or removal of the PI or any co-PI, reduce the 
award funding amount, or where neither of

those previous options is available or adequate, to suspend or 
terminate the award.
