Opportunities for administrative supplements for active research grants for the purpose of accelerating the tempo of scientific research on active grants.: NOT-OD-09-056
Opportunities to request administrative supplements for active research grants for the purpose of promoting job creation, economic development, and accelerating the pace and achievement of scientific research. These supplements will also encourage students to seriously pursue research careers in the health related sciences, as well as provide elementary, middle school, and high school teachers, community college faculty, and faculty from non-research intensive institutions with short term research experiences in NIH-funded laboratories: NOT-OD-09-060 ARRA Administrative Supplements and Competitive Revisions: Clarifications on Programmatic Limitations and use of Modular Budgets NOT-OD-09-079 Notice Regarding Competitive Revisions Using Recovery Act Funds for Applications Still Requiring Paper Submission NOT-OD-09-083
Review Criteria, Scoring, and Processes NOT-OD-09-054 ARRA FAQs New FAQ posted 4/17/09: Is there a limit on the cost of equipment that can be requested in Administrative Supplement, Competitive Revision, and/or NIH Challenge Grant applications?
NIH defines equipment as an item of property that has an acquisition cost of $5,000 or more (unless the organization has established lower levels) and an expected service life of more than one year. NCRR’s shared instrumentation programs could be exploited requests for single items costing over $100,000 (each); however, the FY2009 receipt date for this program has passed. Requests for multiple items of equipment with an aggregate cost that exceeds $100,000 are permitted as part of an Administrative Supplement, Competitive Revision or NIH Challenge Grant application. Equipment requests made in the context of an Administrative Supplement, Competitive Revision or NIH Challenge Grant application should be well-justified in the context of the proposed research. All NIH ARRA grants will be subject to the recently announced review criteria and a new 9-point scoring system, and the prior appeals process will not be enforced. NIH grant awards will be subject to the HHS Standard Terms and Conditions for American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Terms approved for NIH awards (PDF) Additional information about NIH Award Terms is found in NOT-OD-09-080 |
