  3. Facilities - Infrastructure • Grant capacity: Institution’s potential volume of grant activity while considering qualification, complexity, and suitability • Grant readiness: Relative level of preparation to pursue grant activity, both in general and in respect to specific projects and opportunities • At any given point, we may have the capacity, but may not have the readiness and vice versa • To be successful, we must have both

  4. What is Office of Grant Support? • The Office of Grant Support (OGS) is comprised of only three individuals who provide pre-award administrative assistance to the College community • Our goal is to enable faculty scholars to submit grant proposals and to manage subsequent non-financial responsibilities of the award, resubmission, and renewal processes

  5. What Does OGS Do? • Helps develop or review proposal budgets • Reviews and ensures pre-submission regulatory requirements • Helps with creating and managing electronic grant submissions • Assists with required registrations for grant application submissions • Helps submissions of grant proposals to granting agencies or sponsors • Negotiates budgets and other related terms and conditions of the awards with the sponsors • Manages Awards Committee nominations (for limited submissions)

  6. What Does OGS Do? … • Assists with communications or communicates with grant-making agencies • Helps with finding resources for improving grant applications – writing, editing, proposal review and critique - creating more competitive proposals http://www.einstein.yu.edu/administration/grant-support/ • Helps with submission of non-competing applications, Just-in-Time, Supplemental Materials, RPPR, RS, FIS and ….

  17. Career Transition New Investigator:  An NIH research grant Program Director/ Principal Investigator (PD/PI) who has not yet competed successfully for a substantial, competing NIH research grant is considered a New Investigator.  However, a PD/PI who has received a Small Grant (R03) or an Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Award (R21) retains his or her status as a New Investigator.    Early Stage Investigator (ESI):  An individual who is classified as a New orFirst-Time Investigator and is within 10 years of completing his/her terminal research degree or is within 10 years of completing medical residency (or the equivalent) is considered an Early Stage Investigator (ESI).

  18. Recipients Still Considered New Investigators • Pathway to Independence Award-Research Phase (R00) • Small Grant (R03)Academic Research Enhancement Award (R15) • Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21) • Research Education Grants (R25, R90, RL9, RL5) • Clinical Trial Planning Grant (R34) • Dissertation Award (R36) • Small Business Technology Transfer Grant-Phase I (R41, UT1) • Small Business Innovation Research Grant-Phase I (R43,  U43)Shannon Award (R55) • NIH High Priority, Short-Term Project Award (R56) • Competitive Research Pilot Projects (SC2, SC3) • Resource Access Award (X01)

Recipients Still Considered New Investigators … • Training-Related and Mentored Career Awards • All Fellowships (F awards) • All individual and institutional career awards (K awards)              • Loan repayment contracts (L30, L32, L40, L50, L60) • All training grants (T32, T34, T35, T90, D43) • Instrumentation, Construction, Education, Health Disparity Endowment Grants, or Meeting Awards • G07, G08, G11, G13, G20 • R13 • S10, S15, S21, S22

  20. Two Examples Pathway to Independence Award (K99-R00)   The PI award program is designed to facilitate a timely transition from a mentored postdoctoral research position to a stable independent research position with independent NIH or other independent research support. NIH Director’s New Innovator Award This award addresses two important goals: stimulating highly innovative research and supporting promising early stage investigators. Many new investigators have exceptionally innovative research ideas, but not the preliminary data required to fare well in the traditional NIH peer review system.

  21. Loss of a New Investigator Status Research grants that combine a smaller initial award that transitions without further competition to a second phase supported by a substantial, independent research grant will discontinue the New Investigator status for the PD/PI(s) at the point of transition to the larger award. This includes combined, transitional awards like the R21/R33, SBIR/STTR Fast-Track (R42, UT2, R44, U44), UH2/UH3.
