ORSP
1. Grants.gov Hands-on Training
ORSP will be providing four hands-on training sessions in the
use of Grants.gov to prepare grant applications. Although these sessions will
focus on the application kit required for the Feb.1, 2007 NIH RO1 deadline, this
application kit is similar to those used by other sponsors.
The workshops will take place in a computer lab, so seating is
limited to 20 participants per class. If you register and subsequently can not
attend, please cancel your registration so that others may attend. After you
register, you will receive an email from ORSP with additional class information
and requirements.
To register, go to
http://uhr.rutgers.edu/profdevenroll and then select the Office of Research
& Sponsored Programs link to pick a date.
New classes will be announced soon. Please check the
ORSP website at
http://orsp.rutgers.edu/workshops.php for the schedule.

ORSP Offers Grants.gov
Help on Busch Campus
In anticipation of a large volume of Grants.gov
submissions during January, and for the February NIH deadline, ORSP will provide
part-time assistance to faculty on Busch Campus. Ms. Darlene Bondoc can help
faculty in the mechanics of using Grants.gov and provide standard information
for completing the application package. It is planned that she will be
available each day from 1:30PM - 4:30 PM beginning on January 17th and extending
through January 25th. Her office will be in the Nelson Labs, Room B410. It is
advisable to make an appointment if you need assistance. She can be contacted
now at 2-0150x2212, via email at
bondoc@orsp.rutgers.edu or by phone in Nelson as of January 17th at 5-0645.

Fiscal Policy for Grant Awards – FY 2007
Notice Number:
NOT-OD-07-030
Release Date: December 15, 2006
National Institutes of Health (NIH) (http://www.nih.gov
)
This Notice provides guidance to the extramural community
about the NIH’s Fiscal Operations Plan for FY2007.
Faced with a markedly increased number of applications and applicants for grant
support at a time of flat budgets with no inflationary adjustments, NIH is
taking immediate proactive steps in FY2007 to manage its portfolio of
investments in biomedical research. NIH is committed to buttressing core areas
of vulnerability, such as the ability of new investigators to compete for
support in these difficult financial times, and protecting our investment in
well established investigators with little or no other significant support. In
addition, NIH is adjusting the number of competing Research Project Grants (RPG)
that will be awarded, with the goal of stabilizing to the extent possible the
yearly variation in number of awards that are made.

4. NIH
Policy on Late Submission of Grant Applications – Clarification for Multiple PI
Applications and New Submission/Receipt Dates
Notice Number:
NOT-OD-07-026
Release Date: December 7, 2006
National Institutes of Health (NIH), (http://www.nih.gov/)
Purpose
This notice provides information on the implementation of the NIH Policy on Late
Applications (Notice OD-06-086) for applications involving multiple Principal
Investigators (PIs) and includes the receipt dates that will be effective in
February 2007.
NIH has recently announced the plans for extending the multiple PI option to
most research grant applications as the grant mechanisms transition to
electronic submission (Notice
OD-07-017). One of the explanations for late submission that may lead to
acceptance of an application is service by the Principal Investigator on an NIH
extramural review group during the time frame that would reasonably be expected
to be used to prepare the application. For multiple PI applications, this will
apply when any one (or more) of the Project Directors/Principal
Investigators (PD/PIs) is involved with service on an NIH extramural peer review
group. Note that this applies only to NIH extramural review activities, not to
those of other Federal agencies or private organizations. It also does not
apply to other participants in the application who do not have the PD/PI role.
NIH has changed the standing receipt dates for a number of application types (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/submissionschedule.htm).
These are now included in the listing below. NIH will consider accepting late
applications based on the acceptability of the explanation and the processing
time required for two different kinds of submission/receipt dates. Please note
that explanations are not additive – an application from a study section member
who has had a medical problem is still expected to be received within the
appropriate window.
- Regular Standing Submission/Receipt
Dates: January 25, February 5, February 12, February 16, February
25, March 5, March 12, March 16 May 25, June 5, June 12, June 16, June 25,
July 5, July 12, July 16, September 25, October 5, October 12, October 16,
October 25, November 5, November 12, November 16. Applications must be
received at the NIH within two weeks of the standing
submission date.
- Expedited Standing
Submission/Receipt Dates: April 5, April 8, April 12, May 1, August
5, August 8, August 12, September 1, December 5, December 8, December 12,
and January 2. Applications must be received at the NIH
within one week of the standing submission date.
Note that the late window always ends in
a receipt (not submission) date for both paper and electronic applications.
NIH will not consider accepting late applications for the Special
Receipt Dates for RFAs and PARs. This includes the special receipt dates (March
20, July 20, and November 20) for resubmission (formerly “amended”)
applications that are part of the New Investigator Pilot (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-06-060.html).
