Note

This script has been tested on the following C&P version:

DOE: SCV C&P(O)S v.2023-1 (rev.01/31/2023)
NIH: OMB No. 0925-0001 and 0925-0002 (Rev. 12/2020 Approved Through 02/28/2023)

DISCLAIMER: this code is neither supported nor approved by DOE, NSF or NIH. The author is not responsbile for any damages to the file or computer.

Known Issues

• DOE/NSF C&P does not contain the field "Name of PD/PI". The NIH output will fill this entry as TODO.
• For "Status of Support", the program expects "current" or "pending", and outputs "current" and "pending". The NIH example suggests terms "Active" and "Pending".
• In the case of converting to NIH format:
  • "Person Months" will always use the unit "calendar" month, which DOE/NSF C&P uses.
  • "Overlap" will not be used. NIH requires "Overlap" for Pending projects but not Active projects.
