    Nomen nescio

    For a grant application (US) I have to provide a list of persons ("Key Personnel") who will work on the project. I plan to include a student in the project, but I do not know yet who that will be, thus I cannot give a name. In german I would write N.N. (Nomen nescio) instead of a name but according to Wikipedia this seems not to be very common in this context in english.
    It would be great to hear your suggestions!

    TBA "to be announced"

    I'm neither American, nor experienced in filling out grant applications, but if nobody's got a better suggestion, "student (to be appointed)" would say what you mean.

    Thank you for explaining the mystery of what N.N. stands for!

    N.N. kann auch "nomen nominandum" heißen

    Es ist noch etwas komplizierter:

    I consider that "N.N." (NN) is absolutely common, at least in BE!
    "To be announced" is also possible, but is it more common?

    Habe in englischsprachigen Orgplänen schon beides gesehen: NN und TBA. Scheint eine Geschmacksfrage zu sein, was genommen wird; oder es hängt vielleicht davon ab, ob der Verfasser mit der Abkürzung NN etwas anfangen konnte.

    Danke an Alle!
    @judex und FranzM: Nomen nominandum erscheint mir in diesem Zusammenhang auch treffender zu sein als nomen nescio. Danke für den Hinweis und den Link!
