NSF Records Retention Schedule

NSF records retention schedules are the cornerstone of our records management program. The records retention schedule is a policy document that defines the Foundation's legal and compliance recordkeeping requirements. NSF has implemented a records retention schedule in order to ensure that our records are kept as long as legally and operationally required and that obsolete records are disposed of in a systematic and controlled manner. The NSF records retention schedule ensures that staff adhere to approved recordkeeping requirements, and that they do so consistently.
