  1. Enhancing Public Access and Transparency on NIH Research through Reporting (or where ARRA we heading?) Presented at the Association of Independent Research Institutes 2009 Annual Meeting October 6, 2009 Robin M. Wagner, PhD, MS Chief, Reporting Branch Office of Extramural Research (OER) Office of the Director (OD)

  2. Today’s Speaker

  3. Acknowledgments • Reporting Branch Staff, OER • Rediet Berhane, MUP • Matthew Eblen, MPIA • Natalie Graham, MS • Susan Ivey, MA • Carl McCabe, PhD, MA • Katrina Pearson • Lindsay Pool, MPH • Emilee Pressman, MPH • OER OD • James Onken, PhD • Dorit Zuk, PhD

  4. Overview • Major milestones for NIH in 2009 • Received American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds • Enhanced reporting of NIH research investments through RePORT Website • Will present preliminary data on FY 2009 ARRA grants with “awarded” status in IMPACII as of 10/02/09 • Excludes some last minute grant awards • Will not discuss ARRA contract awards • Will describe and conduct live demo of RePORT Website Accountability is key to NIH’s ability to continue to attract new resources to maximize health impact and strengthen the biomedical research workforce

  5. NIH’s Non-ARRA Budget in FY 2009 Total NIH Budget Authority:FY 2009 Enacted = $30,553,000 Other Research Mgmt & Support Intramural Research Research Project Grants R&D Contracts Research Training Other Research Research Centers

  6. President Obama Signs Recovery Act NIH is grateful to President Obama, Congress, and the American people for the opportunity for NIH to play its part in improving the Nation’s health and economy

  7. Accelerate biomedical research Fund already reviewed meritorious applications Launch new programs that focus on innovation: Challenge, Signature, Grand Opportunity Create and preserve jobs in every state across the nation Over 50,000 jobs over the next two years Investing in Biomedical Research through ARRA Over 30,000 applications! To ARRA is Human!

  8. NIH ARRA Appropriation by Mechanism Total NIH ARRA Funding = $10.4 Billion Expect about 13,000 award actions and $5B obligated in FY2009 Data as of 10/2/2009

  9. Peer Review panels Pay line extensions Supplement decisions Council review Sep Aug July April May June RFAs published Awards made FY 2009 ARRA Timeline

  10. NIH ARRA Grant Awards to All Grantees and AIRI Members by Award Type Total NIH ARRA Awards $ 4,353,713,575 N=12,786 Awards Total AIRI ARRA Awards $317,944,822 N=674 Awards Preliminary data drawn 10/2/2009 10

  11. NIH ARRA Grant Awards by Award Type and Solicitation Other ** **Competitive revisions were previously called competitive supplements Preliminary data drawn 10/2/2009 11

  12. Total ARRA Grant Dollars Awarded by NIH Institute and Center (IC) *Number of Awards Total = 12,786 NIH IC Total ARRA Dollars Awarded by NIH in FY 2009 = $4.4B $ Awarded (millions) Preliminary data drawn 10/2/2009 12 12

  13. New ARRA NIH-Wide Programs • Challenge Grants • Grand Opportunities (“GO” Grants) • Recruit new faculty to conduct research • Provide summer jobs for high school / college students and teachers to work in science labs • AREA (R15) Grants

  14. All NIH ARRA Grant Awards by Program and Award Type Preliminary data drawn 10/2/2009 14

  15. NIH ARRA Grant Awards to AIRI Members by Program and Award Type Preliminary data drawn 10/2/2009 15

  16. Challenge Grants Challenge Grants provide: Priority avenues of research, including 237 scientific topics in 15 broad scientific areas Up to $500K total costs/year for up to two years Over 20,000 applications received! Awarded $394M to 854 projects

  17. Broad Challenge Areas

  18. Total Dollars Awarded for Challenge Grants by NIH IC *Number of Awards Total=854 NIH IC Total Challenge Grant Dollars Awarded by NIH in FY 2009 = $393.8M $ Awarded (millions) Preliminary data drawn 10/2/2009 18 18

  19. Challenge Grants Program: Interim Observations • The extraordinary response clearly indicates that the biomedical research community has enormous untapped capacity and potential • The short-term effects of the program align well with the goals of ARRA • The program also will have long-term effects: • Scientific progress will add to future advances • Additional demand will continue to stress system infrastructure

  20. Grand Opportunity Grants Grand Opportunity (GO) Grants: High impact Well defined Large scale Over $500,000 per year Over 2000 applications received Awarded $625M to 376 projects

  21. New Faculty Core Centers for Enhancing Research Capacity in U.S. Academic Institutions (P30) Newly trained scientists Start-up packages Pilot research projects Over 600 applications

  22. Summer Jobs in Research for Students and Teachers • Engage students and educators in research • Encourage students to pursue research careers • Provide summer internships at NIH-funded laboratories for science teachers • Over 1,339 awards to virtually every state, $45M ~ 4,000 jobs over the two summers (09 and 10)

  23. Academic Research Enhancement Awards (AREA) • Applicants must be a domestic (U.S.) institution or organization located in the 50 states, territories and possessions of the U.S. • Offer a baccalaureate or advanced degrees in sciences related to biomedical and behavioral sciences • Institution received less than $6.0 million in each of four or more of the last 7 years • $300,000 direct costs for up to 3 years

  24. Other ARRA Programs

  25. ARRA Reporting Requirements • All ARRA grants must have separate accounts and draw downs are from each account • Includes supplements • Quarterly reporting through www.FederalReporting.gov • No later than 10 calendar days after each calendar quarter in which the recipient receives the award • Reports are cumulative each quarter and include • award amount • project description • project location • percent project completed • number of jobs created/retained • Established NIH reporting requirements:http://grants.nih.gov/recovery/recipient_reporting.html

  26. Enhanced Public Access and Transparency through Reporting Pre-dates ARRA The NIH Reform Act of 2006 • Required establishment of an electronic system to uniformly code research grants and activities of NIH Office of the Director and research ICs • The electronic system was required to • be searchable by a variety of codes, such as grant type, IC, and public health area of interest • when permissible, provide information on relevant literature and patents associated with NIH supported research • Led to the Research, Condition, and Disease Categorization and new NIH RePORT Website

  27. Research, Condition, and Disease Categorization (RCDC) • Knowledge management tool to mine text data to perform research categorization • Benefits • Improve reliability and consistency of disease coding across NIH ICs • Speed up disease coding process • Standardize and facilitate budget reporting by disease topics • Increase transparency and scientific validity • Starting in FY 2007, all NIH research grants, contracts and intramural projects are classified to RCDC disease or condition categories (currently 215)

  28. RePORT Website and more…

  29. RePORT Website Features • Release of new, expanded NIH Data Book • GIS mapping of awards (uses institutional mailing address) • Introduction of dynamic reports • Creation of new reporting concepts • ARRA reports

  30. RePORT Website: Continuously Updated NIH ARRA Information Interactive Website provides ARRA funding information by state, congressional district, and institution http://report.nih.gov/recovery/arragrants.cfm

  31. RePORTERProject Database • New searchable RePORT Expenditures and Results database (RePORTER) on NIH research projects (v1.0) became available to public in June • Can export hit lists to Microsoft Excel • Shows publications and patents citing grant support • Links to PubMed, PubMed Central, USPTO • Recovery Act award search • CRISP is retired with release of production v1.0

  32. Planned Enhancements to RePORT Website in FY 2010 • Customizable data books • IC-specific RePORTs • Interactive charts • Explore integration with other databases (e.g., clinicaltrials.gov) • Analyze/chart/map/present search results • Save favorites searches and portfolios • Set alerts for new grants/publications/patents • Export of RePORTER database as a bulk download and/or web service

  33. Online Demonstration of NIH RePORT Transparency ∙ Access ∙ Public Trust
