  1. Streamlining the Grant Submission Process Jennifer Barrett Department of Medicine Sponsored Program Services Medical Center North D-3100 jennifer.barrett@vanderbilt.edu 343-2813

  2. Typical Research Administrator Language (We use a lot of acronyms) The PI from USW received an RFP from NIH and would like to submit a proposal on the due date of June 1 to the NIAID. The budget will be modular and the TDC can not exceed $150K a year. I have spoken to the GMO at the I/C and the F&A will only be allowed at the 20% rate of the MTDC. There will be 2 Co-PIs on the grant, one from UWK and the other from VU. Each university will need to provide IRB and IACUC approval. We do not want any trouble with OHRP. They will also submit this same grant to NSF and the GPG allows for full F&A.

  8. Bench Bedside Practice Problem Addressed by NIH Roadmap Initiatives

  9. Criteria for Roadmap Initiative • Is it ‘transforming’ -- will it change how or what biomedical research is conducted in the next decades? • Would its outcome enhance the ability of all ICs to achieve their missions? • Can the NIH afford NOT to do it? • Will it be compelling to our stakeholders, especially the public? • Is it something that no other entity can or will do?

  10. Roadmap Implementation • All Institutes and Centers committed to invest jointly in a pool ofresources to support current and future Roadmap initiatives • $128 M in FY 2004 (Director’s funds and 0.34% each ICs budget) • Over $2 B by FY 2009
