Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs of the National Science Foundation

What the Rule Says It Does

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF or Foundation) is revising its regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI). NSF is taking this action to align the conduct prohibited by NSF's regulations with Title VI's text, avoid constitutional concerns, reduce compliance costs, serve the public interest, ensure consistency with the final rule recently issued by the Department of Justice (DOJ), and implement the direction outlined in Executive Order (E.O.) 14281.

This is the rule's own summary, as the Federal Register prints it.
