It is essential that presentations, papers, journal articles, dissertations, posters, and other products that emerge from SPEAKS acknowledge NSF support. This acknowledgement must be included whether or not you are currently supported by SPEAKS funding.

How to acknowledge NSF

• In publications, include either version of the following text in your Acknowledgements section:
  Minimalist version - "This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant DGE-2152258."
  Longer version -“This material is based upon work supported by the SPEAKS program at the University of California, Riverside which is supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant DGE-2152258.”
• In presentations and posters, list the grant number on your Acknowledgments slide or at the bottom of your poster: NSF #2152258. Along with the award number, you are also encouraged to use the NSF logo in presentations and posters to acknowledge their support.
• Occasionally, guidelines for a conference or publication may specify that you list the PI. If so, add “(M. Barth, PI)”.
• If you write about NRT-supported research in a non-scientific publication (e.g. a blog or newspaper article), you should acknowledge NSF support (NSF award 2152258) also include the following disclaimer: "Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation."

When to Acknowledge NSF Support

Support can be relatively direct or indirect. Either way, you should acknowledge the NSF.

• Direct support
  • Includes a trainee during the year they are funded by SPEAKS
  • Relates to a collaboration fostered in any way by SPEAKS
• Indirect support
  • Involves SPEAKS trainee(s) or faculty in any way, and relates to sustainable
    transportation and/or science to policy.
  • Involves trainees at any point after acceptance to SPEAKS program - no matter their
    funding status - and relates to sustainable transportation/science to policy.
  • The work benefited from the community/context SPEAKS provides (e.g., inspired or
    facilitated collaboration).
