  2. Where to Get Info Mentors Departmental administrators Colleagues working in your field Scientists working in other fields Institutional research administrators Program officers at funding agencies Anyone skilled in expository writing

  3. Albert Einstein College of Medicine Office of Grant Support Location: Belfer 917 (718) 430-3642 www.aecom.yu.edu/ogs

  4. Success rates of applications from medical school pediatrics departments for NIH research project grants (RPG), 2004-2013 ​​”RPG” defined as R00, R01, R03, R15, R21, R22, R23, R29, R33, R34, R35, R36, R37, R55, R56, RC1, RC2, RC3, RC4, RF1, RL1, RL2, RL5, RL9, P01, P42, PN1, PM1, RM1, UA5, UC1, UC2, UC3, UC4, UC7,  UF1, UH2, UH3, UH5, UM1, U01, U19, U34, DP1, DP2, DP3, DP4, and DP5. RPG 4

  5. U.S. BIOMEDICAL AND HEALTH R&D SPENDING 2012 $130,383,000,000

  6. Have something to say, and say it as clearly as you can. That is the only secret… Matthew Arnold

  7. The Costs of Research

  8. Indirect Costs Aka….facilities and administration (F&A) and overhead. Costs that cannot be attributed to a specific sponsored project and are reimbursed to the Institution for expenses incurred for objectives common to most research projects. Made up of three types of costs: Facility-related costs: Building Depreciation, Equipment Depreciation, Interest Expense, and Operations and Maintenance Service-related costs (typically comprised of one item): Library Administrative costs: General, Department, Sponsored Programs

  9. The Costs of Research

  10. The indirect cost base does NOT include: Equipment (single items >$3000) Alterations/renovations Portion of sub-awards >$25,000 Patient care costs Off-site rental fees Student tuition

  11. The Costs of Research Example: Annual Direct Costs = $100,000 Federally negotiated Indirect Rate = 67% Total Annual Costs = $167,000 Total Budget Request = $100-167K

  12. Indirect Cost Rates Federal research (on-site) 67.0% Federal research (off-site) 26.0% Federal other (on-site) 28.5% Federal other (off-site) 21.1% Federal training 8.0% Private non-profit Source policy* or 25-33% Industry (grants <$32,500) 25-54% (grants >$32,500) 67%(clinical trials)25-33%

  13. Types of Funding

  14. Types of Grants Fellowship Research Training Career Development Travel Equipment Construction Program/Service

  15. Types of Funders Federal Government State Government Voluntary Health Orgs (aka Public Charities) Professional Associations Private Foundations Corporate Foundations Corporations (Direct giving programs) Individuals

  16. U.S. BIOMEDICAL AND HEALTH R&D SPENDING 2012 $130,383,000,000

  17. US BIOMEDICAL AND HEALTH R&D SPENDING 2012 $130,383,000,000

  18. Types of NIH Grants aka “Grant Mechanisms” R-series = Research Grants R01- Research Project Grant R21- Exploratory/Developmental Grant R03- Small Grant K-series = Research Career Development Grants K23- Mentored Patient-Oriented RCDA K08- Mentored Clinical Scientist RCDA

  19. Total NIH budget authority FY 2013 actual SBIR/STTR $638,517,000 (2.2%)

  20. SBIR/STTR: 3-Phase Program PHASE I Feasibility Study $150K and 6-month (SBIR) or 12-month (STTR) Award PHASE II Full Research/R&D $1.0M and 2-year Award (SBIR/STTR) PHASE III • Commercialization Stage • Use of non-SBIR/STTR Funds

  21. Searching for Funding Opps Office of Grant Support Funding Sources http://www.einstein.yu.edu/administration/grant-support/funding-opportunities.aspx SciVal Funding Search Tool http://www.funding.scival.com/home Google !! e.g. “funding for pediatric research” https://researchfunding.duke.edu/search.asp

  22. Know Your Funder Area of funding interest Type of funding Typical size of grants Application and review procedure Eligibility restrictions: Type of institution Previous awardees Citizenship Geography Faculty status Age/Sex/Ethnicity Prior funding Cost sharing

  23. Know Your NIHese PA vs. RFA NINDS R03 vs. NICHD R03 Feb-June-Oct vs. March-July-Nov Success Rate vs. Percentile Rank SRO vs. Program Officer eRA vs. IRG Revision vs. Resubmission

  24. Applying for Funding 1) Theory

  25. Compliance Research activities at all universities are overseen by regulatory and compliance committees imposed by federal laws. Non-compliance may result in severe penalties to the institution and in some instances to the individual. It is the responsibility of all researchers to be familiar with university policies relating to areas of research requiring compliance with government regulations.

  26. Conclusion: Most grants are not awarded to principal investigators. Rather, your institution will be awarded a grant on your behalf.

  27. The Institution as Awardee Proposal review and approval Indirect costs Compliance Grant management ($$) Commitment

  28. Cost Accounting Standards e.g. Consistency in Estimating, Accumulating, and Reporting Costs Consistency in Allocating Costs Incurred for Same Purpose Allocation of Direct and Indirect Costs e.g. Criteria for determining how costs are charged or allocated to cost objectives.

  29. Responsible Conduct of Research Human Subjects Research Research with Animals Fiscal Responsibility Conflict of Interest NIH Public Access Policy Environmental Health & Safety Export Control

  30. Assurances and Certifications Human Subjects Animal Welfare Handicapped Individuals Sex Discrimination Age Discrimination Ethical Conduct Intellectual Property Human Embryonic Stem Cells Drug-free Workplace Combating Trafficking in Persons Conflict of Interest Delinquent Debt

  31. Research Administration: -- Protecting the research enterprise by complying with federal regulations -- Facilitating faculty research through supporting services

  32. Applying for Funding 2) Practice

  33. Institutional review and approval is mandatory whenever any of the following are true: • Institutional signatures are required • The submission will be the final communication before an award is made • A detailed budget is submitted • Commitment of institutional resources (other than personnel and supplies) is made or implied

  37. The Details Einstein Central Admin Principal Investigator Funding Agency

  41. Submitting Electronic NIH Grant Proposals NIH eRA Commons Cayuse S2S Grants.gov

  42. “Registrations” for Submission of Electronic Proposals Principal investigators do NOT register with Grants.gov !! Principal investigators DO register with NIH eRA Commons, NSF Fastlane, HRSA Handbooks, etc. Contact OGS. Existing agency accounts need to be “affiliated” with Einstein.

  43. Submitting Electronic NIH Grant Proposals Errors? Errors? NIH eRA Commons Cayuse S2S Grants.gov

  44. Submitting Electronic NIH Grant Proposals Proposals with errors must be corrected and resubmitted NIH eRA Commons Cayuse S2S Grants.gov Error-free proposals proceed to referral/ review process in 48 hours

  45. Peer Review

  46. The limiting factor in the quality of a proposal is the underlying idea. IDEA PROPOSAL Grantsmanship cannot improve a bad idea.

  47. To prove that an idea is great, you must show: Need [Should it be done?] Feasibility [Can it be done?]

  48. Scientific Research Plan: Specific Aims Background/Significance Preliminary Data Methods Human Subjects Vertebrate Animals Literature cited Appendices Administrative Face page/Title Abstract (summary + relevance) Key Personnel Budget Biosketch Other Support (JIT) Resources Checklist Components of the Research Grant Application

  49. aim (ām) Etymology: ME aimen < OFr esmer (< L aestimare: see estimate) Noun 1. the act of aiming 2. a. the ability to hit a target b. a weapon's accuracy • the object to be attained; intention or purpose 4. OBSOLETE a guess or conjecture

  50. Specific Aims List the broad, long-term objectives and the goal of the specific research proposed, e.g., to test a stated hypothesis, create a novel design, solve a specific problem, challenge an existing paradigm or clinical practice, address a critical barrier to progress in the field, or develop new technology.
