  5. Federal R&D Infrastructure • Academic research facilities: • NIH: $1.3 billion • Construction, repairs, alterations, shared instrumentation, capital equipment • NSF: $900 million • Facilities construction, major research equipment, academic research facilities modernization and the Major Research Instrumentation program • NIST: $180 million • competitive construction grant program for funding science research facilities

  6. National Institutes of Health (NIH) • National Institutes of Health: $10.4 billion (all available for two years) • Criteria for Spending (According to Acting Director Raynard Kington) • Short-term economic impact of funding (number of jobs created and preserved) • Long-term investment of funding

  8. NIH Funding Mechanisms and Process • Choose among recently peer reviewed, highly meritorious R01 who are able to make progress with a 2-year grant • Fund new R01 applications that can make good progress with a 2-year grant • Provide targeted supplements to current grants • Jump start the new NIH Challenge Grant program with $100-$200 million to focus on health and science problems where progress expected in 2-years ($500K/yr for 2-years) • Other mechanisms and processes to be developed and used

  9. NIH: What you need to do • Monitor web sites for institutes in your interest, http://www.hhs.gov/recovery/ • Bring information from your contacts to Office of Research Development, Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, Provost Gold and Provost Haggett, or the Office of Government Relations • Watch for emails from the Office of Research Development for further opportunities • For those with existing NIH grants develop case for supplementary funding with deliverables within 2-years • Evaluate job creation impacts of existing and proposed projects • Prepare for Challenge Grant RFA • All projects will be peer reviewed

  10. National Science Foundation (NSF) • National Science Foundation (NSF) $3 billion • $2 billion for research grants • “research and related activities” • $900 million for infrastructure • facilities construction, major research equipment, academic research facilities modernization and the Major Research Instrumentation program • $100 million for education • ‘‘education and human resources’’

  11. NSF: Funding Mechanisms and Process • No supplements to existing grants proposed • 24,000 proposals on hand will be considered for support • “Dear Colleague” letter to be distributed soon • New solicitations expected for some programs • May consider proposals previously declined (after 10/1/08) but scientifically meritorious
