Recycling of FY 2006 NCI
Grants (Letter from Leo Buscher, Jr.)
Dear Institutional Business Official:
During recent budget negotiations for a
project supported by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Office of Grants
Administration (OGA) staff informed you of an NCI initiative to recycle grant
workloads. The purpose of my letter is to provide you with the rationale behind
this action and the principal components of the plan.
Please email Mary Feldenkreiss
(felden@orsp.rutgers.edu) if you
would like an electronic copy of the letter.

Clarification of Instructions
Regarding Inclusion of Publications as Appendix Materials
Notice Number:
NOT-OD-06-053
Release Date: March 28, 2006
The purpose of this Notice is to clarify the
recently announced new approach and policy regarding the inclusion of
publications as Appendix materials in NIH grant applications (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-06-051.html).
Clarifications have been highlighted in a different color. Applicants should now
provide links to the on-line journal article or the NIH PubMed Central (PMC)
submission identification number for publications listed in the appendix,
whenever possible. This policy applies to all grant mechanisms for which
publications are acceptable Appendix material, regardless of which application
form is used (e.g., PHS 398, SF424 (R&R), PHS 416-1) or the mode of submission
(paper or electronic). Note: Not all grant mechanisms allow the
inclusion of publications.

NIH
Adjusts Timeline for Electronic Application Submission
After carefully considering input from the applicant community,
analyzing the results of our first few submission rounds, and examining the
timing of key submission dates in relation to other NIH initiatives, NIH has
adjusted the implementation timeline for electronic application submission to
provide an additional four months (one submission round) before the transition
of the NIH traditional research grant (R01) mechanism and all subsequent
mechanisms (see
http://era.nih.gov/ElectronicReceipt/files/Electronic_receipt_timeline_Ext.pdf
). The transition date for the U01s, NIH's Research Cooperative Agreements, has
also shifted to allow this mechanism to transition with the other complex
research mechanisms in October 2007.

Salary Cap on NIH Awards
Tony DeCrappeo, President of the Council on Governmental
Relations (COGR), announced that "the final bill funding NIH for FY 2006 retains
the reimbursement salary
cap for NIH, AHRQ, and SAMHSA grants at Executive Level I. The Office
of Personnel Management last week announced that for 2006, the Executive
Level I salary level would rise to $183,500, up $3,400 over the 2005
level of $180,100. The 2006 OPM salary tables are at
http://www.opm.gov/oca/06tables/index.asp .
As in past years, the NIH Office for Extramural Research will develop a
Policy Notice that will announce this and other legislative mandates."
The Policy Notice should be released soon.

UPDATE: NIH Electronic Submissions
for Macintosh Users Via Grants.gov
Grants.gov and NIH have partnered to provide free access to
Citrix servers for Macintosh Users who are looking for an alternative to using
PC emulation software with the PureEdge™ forms.
This service is now available for use.
Grants.gov’s website states:
Beginning December 20, 2005, non-Windows users will be able to download and
complete the PureEdge forms by taking advantage of the free Citrix server.
Non-Windows users are also able to submit completed grant applications via the
Citrix environment.
For details, please visit
http://www.grants.gov/MacSupport
A Citrix server connection allows Macintosh users to remotely
launch a Windows session on their own machines by using the free Citrix client
application. While connected to the server, Mac users can develop their grant
application using PureEdgeTM forms. Applicants will need to download and install
the free Citrix client application in order to work on the SF424 (R&R)
application package with the specific grant for which they are applying.
While connected to the Citrix server, the Authorized
Organizational Representative (AOR)/Signing Official (SO) can submit the
application to NIH via Grants.gov.

NIH - CSR Takes Two
Steps to Shorten the Review Cycle
1. As of October 2005,
NIH is posting summary statements of most reviews within one month after the
study section meeting instead of two to three months after the meeting.
Applicants who discover they need to resubmit will have that much more time
to respond to the critiques and improve their application.
2. Beginning with the
February 2006 receipt date, NIH will initiate a pilot study to cut one and a
half months from our review process as recommended by a special trans-NIH
committee. Forty CSR study sections will participate in this pilot, which
will speed the reviews of investigator-initiated (R01) applications
submitted by new investigators in these study sections.
The
ultimate goal is to enable
the NIH review process to keep better pace with the rapid changes in science
while preserving the rigor and fairness of NIH peer review and preserving
the quality of feedback given to applicants. See the links below for more
information.
Press Release
Speedier NIH Review of Research Applications Planned: NIH/CSR Pilot Study
for New Investigators Begins Early 2006
If You
Have Questions or Concerns
Let NIH know what you
think they should address in the larger January issue of Peer Review Notes. Feel
free to send an e-mail to

Non-Competing Grant Awards Under the
Current Continuing Resolution Non-Competing Grant Awards Under the Current Continuing Resolution
Notice Number:
NOT-OD-06-014
Release Date: December 1, 2005
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
continues to operate on a continuing resolution (CR) that currently extends
through December 17, 2005 . The CR applies the terms of the FY 2005
appropriations for the period covered by the CR. Until the final FY 2006
appropriation is enacted, NIH will be issuing non-competing research grant
awards at a level below that indicated on the most recent Notice of Award
(generally up to 80% of the previously committed level). NIH will consider
upward adjustments to these levels after the final appropriation is enacted, but
expects institutions to monitor their expenditures carefully during this period.
Questions regarding adjustments applied on individual
grant awards may be directed to the Grants Management Specialist identified on
the Notice of Award.

NIH
Announces New Closeout Feature in the eRA Commons and Reminds Grantees of
Required Closeout Reports for NIH Assistance Awards
Notice
Number:
NOT-OD-05-051
Release Date: June 17, 2005
This Guide Notice announces the availability of a new
Closeout feature in the eRA Commons and reminds grantees of the importance of
providing the Federal Government with timely and accurate final financial,
progress, and invention reports as required by the terms and conditions of the
assistance awards.
Closeout Feature in the eRA Commons
The eRA Commons now includes the capability to electronically submit
required Closeout Reports—final progress report, final Financial Status Report (FSR),
and final inventions statement. Commons-registered grantee institutions may now
query in the Commons Status system for those grants that are in a closeout
status. Commons users can then enter the Closeout screens to electronically
process and submit the required reports. For the final progress report, users
will attach a PDF, Word, or text file. For the Final Financial Status Report
users are directed to the eRA Commons FSR system. For the Final Inventions
Statement users indicate if any Inventions are being reported and when yes, are
provided with text entry areas to report inventions. Note, a future enhancement
of Closeout will include an automatic link to the IEdison system. Each required
report can be submitted independently; however, grantees are reminded that
closeout is not complete until all reports have been submitted.
Policy Reminder
NIH recipients shall submit within 90 calendar days after the last day of
the final budget period a Final Financial Status Report, a Final Progress
Report, and a Final Invention Statement and Certification (as applicable). It is
important to note that unless the Grants Management Officer (GMO) of the
respective awarding agency approves an extension of this 90-day reporting window
in writing, grantees must submit the final reports within the prescribed
timeframe.

Implementation of NIH Policy on Enhancing Public Access to Archived
Publications
Effective May 2, 2005 This
Policy requests and strongly encourages all NIH-funded investigators to make
their peer-reviewed author's final manuscripts available to other researchers
and the public at the NIH National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central (PMC)
[see http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov ] immediately after the final date of
journal publication. At the time of submission, authors are given the option to
release their manuscripts at a later time, up to 12 months after the official
date of final publication. NIH expects that only in limited cases will authors
deem it necessary to select the longest delay period.
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-05-043.html
April 2005
Final NIH Public Access Policy
Implementation
"For the Public
Beginning May 2, 2005, NIH-funded investigators will be asked to submit
voluntarily to PubMed Central (PMC) the author’s final manuscript upon
acceptance for publication, resulting from research supported in whole or in
part, with direct costs from NIH. PMC is the NIH digital repository of
full-text, peer-reviewed biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research journals.
It is a publicly-accessible, permanent, and searchable electronic archive
available on the Internet at
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/ .
The author’s final manuscript is defined as the final version accepted for
journal publication, and includes all modifications from the peer review
process. At the time of voluntary submission to PMC, the authors will specify
the timing of the posting of their final manuscript for public accessibility
through PMC. Posting for public accessibility through PMC is strongly encouraged
as soon as possible (and within twelve months of the publisher’s official date
of final publication). As the archive grows, NIH staff and the public will be
more readily able to access an increasing number of NIH-supported research
publications in a single source."
At this time, as we
understand it, this policy is NOT MANDATORY but is being "strongly encouraged".
If you have further questions about this policy, please contact your
grant
specialist.

announcement can be found at

NIH Policy on Sharing of Model
Organisms for Biomedical Research
Last May, NIH
announced a new policy on Sharing of Model Eukaryotic Organisms for
Biomedical Research.
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-04-042.html
The policy broadens
and expands the December 1999 NIH policy on Obtaining and Disseminating
Biomedical Research Resources and provides further guidance with
particular attention on model organisms for biomedical research. Under the new NIH Policy, all
investigators submitting an NIH application beginning with the October
1, 2004 receipt date are expected to include a plan for sharing and
distributing unique model organism research resources. The adequacy of
the plan will be considered in proposal evaluation, and failure to
comply may be taken into account in future funding decisions both for
the investigator and his/her institution. At this time, NIH
is not requiring submission of a sharing plan by investigators
developing non-eukaryotic model organisms.
On September 10, 2004,
NIH published (NOT-OD-04-066) a website pertaining to the new model
Organisms Sharing Policy. The website (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/model_organism/index.htm)
includes the policy statement in two different formats as well as
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about the new policy and sample
sharing plans. It also includes a link to another NIH website (http://www.nih.gov/science/models)
that contains broad information about national and international
activities and major resources that are being developed to facilitate
biomedical research using particular animal models.
Please refer to the NIH website noted above for examples of language to
include in your proposal.
Any questions about this
policy, please contact your
grant
specialist.
