  2. Staff/Council InterventionsSupporting New Investigators Craig A. Jordan, Ph.D. Director, DEA, NIDCD

  3. NIDCD Efforts F31: Initiate a predoctoral fellowship program. (2000) F31 & F32: Conduct peer review of fellowships within NIDCD SRB and coordinate expedited review/funding. (2000) R03: use the Small Grant mechanism exclusively for unestablished investigators. (1990) R01: New Investigator letters may result in funding the application with a score beyond the payline, avoiding the time and effort associated with an amended application. (2000)

  5. NRSA for Individual Predoctoral FellowsJuly 25, 2000 (PA-00-125) • NIAAA, NIDCD, NIDA, NIMH, NINDS • Successfully completed their comprehensive examinations • Receipt Dates: Apr 5, Aug 5, Dec 5 NIDCD • Adds predoctoral fellowship mechanism • Expedited review and award of pre- and postdoctoral Fs • Goal of 4 months for submission to award (3.5 months for Summary Statements)

  6. NIDCD Fellowship Review • Existing Review Committee (w/ Ad Hocs) • Meeting dates in advance • Special Emphasis Panel for conflicts • Late mailing to reviewers • 2nd round of CDs and assignments • Expedited Summary Statements (staff) • Expedited Training Board (staff) • Expedited Pay Memos (staff) • Customized Award processing (staff)

  7. Predoctoral - Actual Fellowship Timeline * cohort funded as soon as 8/08/03

  8. NIDCD Fellowships * Program initiated during FY2001 @ Some FY2005 funding decisions still pending. Note: Applications are assigned to FY based on their Council dates.

  9. NIDCD Efforts F31: Initiate a predoctoral fellowship program. (2000) F31 & F32: Conduct peer review of fellowships within NIDCD SRB and coordinate expedited review/funding. (2000) R03: use the Small Grant mechanism exclusively for unestablished investigators. (1990) R01: New Investigator letters may result in funding the application with a score beyond the payline, avoiding the time and effort associated with an amended application. (2000)

  10. NIDCD R03 Program • Nov. 1990 – solely for New Investigator – $25,000 (DC); 2 years – Goal is to reach R01/R29 support • Oct. 1995 – ↑ to $35,000 • Nov. 1996 – ↑ to 3 years • June 1999 – ↑ to $50,000; modular budget • June 2000 – add concurrent or pre-K award • Add individual transitioning from postdoc

  12. NIDCD Efforts F31: Initiate a predoctoral fellowship program. (2000) F31 & F32: Conduct peer review of fellowships within NIDCD SRB and coordinate expedited review/funding. (2000) R03: use the Small Grant mechanism exclusively for unestablished investigators. (1990) R01: New Investigator letters may result in funding the application with a score beyond the payline, avoiding the time and effort associated with an amended application. (2000)

  13. Report of the NIH Working Group on New InvestigatorsJune 4, 1997 “The R29 mechanisms should be abolished and replaced by an R01 application that clearly identifies on the face page … that the applicant is a new investigator...” “The Working Group recommends that the number of awards to new investigators be made at levels no less than the numbers required to replace investigators leaving the research system…historically…about 9 %.”

  14. NIH Definition New investigators are defined as: principal investigator (PI) on a competing R01/R29 award who has not been a PI on any prior NIH research grant (except K01, K08, K22, K23, R03, R15, R21).

  15. NIDCD Definition New investigators are defined as: - Principal investigator (PI) on a competing R01 award who has not been a PI on any prior NIH R01/R29. - Within 10 years of terminal degree (excluding clinical training)

  16. NIH Wide Efforts All investigators should be evaluated in a manner appropriate for the present stage in their careers. (PHS 398 New Investigator check box ■) Approach: assessment of feasibility should be based more on rationale and training than on preliminary experimental data. Investigators: more emphasis should be placed on training and research potential than on track record and number of publications. Environment: there should be evidence that the necessary space, equipment, and time to perform the research are available.

  17. NIDCD EFFORTS • Criterion for High Program Priority • Coding and Tracking • Protection from cuts in time or amount • Special Council attention • May save investigator effort of amending and delay of additional review cycle

  18. New Investigator Letters Review and coding of all New Investigator R01s List (scores) of all New Investigators, per Council Program Officers contact all New Investigators Explain New Investigator process 3 possible recommendations 5 page limit Letters provided & Council members assigned Discussions at Council meeting Outcomes (HPP or not)

  19. NIDCD New Investigator R01s * -Council letter process for New Investigators began FY01 TBD -To Be Determined

  20. Success versus NIH “new” R01s * -Council letter process for New Investigators began FY01
