  2. FY 2006 Budget Request The discretionary FY 2006 request for the NIH appropriation is $28,590 million, an increase of 0.5% over FY 2005.

  3. Budget Update • As of 11/18/2005 Congress passed a Continuing Resolution to continue appropriations at the FY2005 level through 12/17/2005. Until the final FY 2006 appropriation is enacted, NIH will be issuing non-competing research grant awards at a level below that indicated on the most recent Notice of Award (generally up to 80% of the previously committed level). NIH will consider upward adjustments to these levels after the final appropriation is enacted. NIH Guide Notice December 1, 2005: http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-06-014.html

  17. Office of Research Education Training Activities Click on Research Activities for this month: http://research.utmb.edu/ore/ • Current Activities: • Grants-for-Lunch – first Tuesday of the month • UTMB Advanced Training Program on the Protection of Human Research Participants (ATP) – begins January, 2006. Statement of Interest due December 7, 2005

  18. Types of Awards http://grants1.nih.gov/training/careerdevelopmentawards.htm

  19. New Investigatorshttp://grants1.nih.gov/grants/new_investigators/index.htm Applicants are considered new investigators if they have not previously served as the principal investigators (PI) on any Public Health Service-supported research project other than a small grant (R03), an Academic Research Enhancement Award (R15), an exploratory/developmental grant (R21), or certain research career awards directed principally to physicians, dentists, or veterinarians at the beginning of their research career (K01, K08, and K12). Current or past recipients of Independent Scientist and other non-mentored career awards (K02, K04) are not considered new investigators.

  20. New Investigators • Currently, NIH encourages new investigators to self-identify by checking a box on the face page of their R01 applications so that they can be given special consideration.

  21. Pilot Program for New Investigators • November 30, 2005: NIH announced a Pilot Study to Shorten the Review Cycle for New Investigator R01 Applications • Under carefully defined circumstance, new investigators will be able to resubmit amended applications for the next review meeting, rather than waiting a cycle. This will shorten the time for the next consideration of the resubmission application by four months. • Only R01 applications from investigators that meet the NIH definition of new investigators that are assigned to participating study sections are included in this pilot.

  22. Pilot Program Continued • The Summary Statements for these applications will include an explicit note that identifies the application as being eligible for this pilot. • Applications submitted for the February/March 2006 dates (cycle I) will be reviewed by June 15, 2006 and Summary Statements will be available in the NIH Commons no later than June 20, 2006 . Should new investigators choose to participate in this pilot, they will be able to send a resubmission application to NIH for a special July 20, 2006 receipt date.

  25. Typical Review Cycles for a New Individual Research Project Grant Application (R01) • Submit inFebruary (June,October) • Review inJune(October,February) • Council inSeptember (January,May) • Earliest award inDecember (April,July) See Receipt Dates: http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/dates.htm

  26. Receipt (submission) at Center for Scientific Review Referral – Scientific Review Administrator (SRA) assigns to Initial Review Group (IRG) Initial Review (Peer Review) by IRG for scientific merit Secondary Review by Advisory Council for overall merit Approval by Institute Notice of Grant Award (NOGA) Review Process

  27. New Review Criteria • NIH Peer Review Criteria for investigator-initiated research grant applications better accommodates interdisciplinary, translational, and clinical projects. • Utilizes the same five criteria: • Significance • Approach • Innovation • Investigators • Environment; • These updated review criteria will be effective for research grant applications received on or after January 10, 2005http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-05-002.html

  28. When to Contact a Program Officer • To see whether your proposed application topic would fit into his or her program. • To find out about other award types • To find out if he or she knows of any initiatives in another institute • To see whether your proposed topic may be a high priority for the Institute • To find out about requesting assignment to an IC or IRG • For advice on preparing an application • To see if you should apply in response to an RFA • If you have questions about your summary statement • If you see a code on your summary statement • To get more feedback from the review • To find out status of funding your application • If your application’s funding is deferred till later in the fiscal year Locate the Program Officer from the NIH Guide announcement or from the Institute/Center website (under contacts by program area).

  29. Contacting NIH • After submission: • Contact the Scientific Review Administrator for the study section with questions related to a review. See Study Section Rosters or IC website for names • Never contact Study Section members and reviewers about your proposal or review. • Post-Award: • Contact Financial Specialist on your award • Given in the RFA or Program announcement or • Given in your Notice of Grant Award
