This info will be required whether or not the key persons efforts on the project are DOD funded:

• Titles and objectives of the other projects
• Percentage per year devoted to the other projects
• Total amount of support the individual is receiving or will receive

DOD indicated this requirement should be included in the NFOs. Please refer to the specific NFO when preparing proposals for details on how to comply.
