Cut & Paste From Recent Biosketch? • It’s a good place to start… • But many people forget to update it or add the extra information that’s required.
Supplementing Biosketch Info • Effort: OPUS • Direct Costs: MyFD • Role: eGC1/SAGE • Overlap: Have the investigator evaluate & write about any overlap [scientific, budgetary, commitment]
Effort: OPUS • Example (assuming the grant would start June 10, 2013): • 3% on 66-6326 • 4% on 66-1819 • 38% on 66-5932 • 25% on 62-4076 • 30% on 09-8448
Effort: Person Months • NIH Person Month Calculator: grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/person_months_conversion_chart.xls • 38% effort = 3.42 academic months (9-month) • 38% effort = 4.56 calendar months (12-month)
Other Support Checklist • Data current and accurate for each project? • Include Active AND Pending support (even if “none”) for each key personnel (parent grant, subcontract, consultants but excluding Other Significant Contributors or mentors)? • Active support as of the day the new grant would start • Annual direct costs? • Dates of project? • Person months used (rather than percentages)? • Person months add up to greater than 12 calendar, 9 academic or 3 summer months? If so, update/correct effort information. • Expired projects not included under Active? • Denied or funded proposals not included under Pending? • Major goal summaries included for all projects? • Active support complete (i.e. corporate support included, etc.) • Overlap addressed for all key personnel (even if they have no other support)? • If there is overlap, it is indicated how the investigator would address it if the proposal were funded? • Biosketch data updated and supplemented? • Investigator reviewed and approved their own Other Support?
