NIH Biosketch
NIH is in the process of piloting new five page biographical sketches (biosketch), for release in FY 16 this would be around October 2015. Although this change is over a year away it will have far reaching implications as most foundation and smaller sponsors defer to this biosketch format. Attached is a sample of what the current version of the new format looks like, the basic change is the allow researchers to describe up to five of their most significant contributions to science along with historical background that framed their research.
This description can outline the central finding(s) of their work, the influence of those finding(s) on their field and how those findings may have contributed to improvements in health or technology. For those involved in team science, it will allow the investigator to describe their specific role in the described work. Each of these descriptions can be supported by listing up to four, relevant peer-reviewed publications. In addition to the descriptions of their contributions, researchers will be able to include a link to a full list of their published work as found in a publicly available digital database such as MyBibliography or SciENcv.
Unless your program announcement is part of the pilot you are not permitted to use the longer format until it is rolled out next year. If you do include a longer bio during this pilot you will only get a warning and not an error message. But your proposal will be found non-responsive once reviewed.
As updates become available they will be passed along. If you have any questions please contact your Grants Administrator within OSP.
NIH Commons: User IDs
Starting in October 2014, Commons User IDs will be required for all project personnel including, students (under graduate and graduate), and Post Docs and Research Support personnel. NIH will not accept RPPRs or PHS 2590s that do not have this information.
To avoid delays as you hire people to work on your project you should make sure that they have a Commons ID. If they do not you should have one created for them. To do this contact you the Grant Administrator assigned to your department with the following information:
- New Personnel's Complete Name
- Email address
- Phone and Fax
- Two choices for user ID*
*Please keep in mind that this ID will be with the person for their entire research life in association with NIH projects.
Once this id is create an email will be sent to the address given for that person. It is up to the new personnel to populate their profile once the ID is created.
NIH Announces Updated Policy for Application Submission
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) announce a change in policy on application submissions. Effective immediately, for application due dates after April 16, 2014, following an unsuccessful resubmission (A1) application, applicants may submit the same idea as a new (A0) application for the next appropriate due date. The NIH and AHRQ will not assess the similarity of the science in the new (A0) application to any previously reviewed submission when accepting an application for review. Although a new (A0) application does not allow an introduction or responses to the previous reviews, the NIH and AHRQ encourage applicants to refine and strengthen all application submissions."

NIH Will Open the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) for All Type 5 Non-SNAP Progress Reports on April 25, 2014
Notice Number: NOT-OD-14-079
Key Dates
Release Date: April 15, 2014
Issued by
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) will open the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) for all type 5 non-SNAP progress reports following the April 24, 2014, eRA release.
NIH requires use of the RPPR module to submit progress reports for Streamlined Non-competing Award Process (SNAP), fellowship, and multi-year funded awards. NIH is continuing efforts to implement the RPPR module for non-SNAP awards; please see details below.
RPPR for Non-SNAP Progress Reports
Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP) institutions currently may opt to to submit type 5 non-SNAP progress reports using the RPPR and NIH encourages FDP institutions to continue to do so.
On April 25, 2014, NIH will expand to all institutions the ability to submit type 5 non-SNAP progress reports using the RPPR. NIH encourages all institutions to use the RPPR to submit type 5 non-SNAP progress reports when access is available. While non-FDP institutions cannot submit type 5 non-SNAP progress reports using the RPPR until April 25, 2014, for institutions interested in learning more about non-SNAP RPPRs, an archive of a recent training session is available on the NIH RPPR webpage. Beginning on April 25, 2014, all institutions may use the RPPR for type 5 non-SNAP progress reports.
Non-SNAP progress reports not submitted using the RPPR must be submitted using the PHS 2590.
NIH anticipates requiring all grantee institutions to use the RPPR for non-SNAP progress reports beginning on October 17, 2014; however, a separate Guide Notice announcing the requirement will be issued on a future date. Note also, that NIH continues development of the RPPR for final progress reports and for administrative extensions (Type 4s; e.g., SBIR/STTR Fast-Track Phase II application). NIH will update the community as progress is made.
Additional information and resources on the RPPR, including the current RPPR Instruction Guide and training archives, can be found at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/rppr/ .

eRA Information: New Videos on Navigating Status Available
NIH has announced that there are three new tutorial videos available for viewing to help you navigate the Status screen in eRA Commons. These videos are the first three in a series that will look at the Status option in detail.
Status Screen Overview (tutorial #1) goes through the steps of how to get to the Status search options if you are a Signing Official (SO) or a Principal Investigator (PI); it outlines the importance of the Status screen; it also highlights some of the critical actions that must be taken to manage a grant application from submission to award to closeout.
Signing Official: Finding Information (tutorial #2) is focused on the tools available to a Signing Official. The video reviews the three ways an SO can search for a grant application, and the various other search options available to them.
Status Search Results (tutorial #3) covers the results of a search. The video highlights how search results are displayed and organized and the importance of checking the items listed in the Action column.

Interim Guidance on Resumption of NIH Extramural Activities
Notice Number: NOT-OD-14-002
Key Dates
Release Date: October 17, 2013
Issued by
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
NIH is working to reestablish dates for grant and contract submissions, determine how to handle missed review meetings, and reschedule dates for training and other activities that were scheduled to occur during and immediately following the period of the government shutdown.
As of today, we can confirm that we will be rescheduling all October grant application submission deadlines to the November timeframe (specific dates to be announced in a future Notice). By delaying due dates that occurred both during the lapse in funding and in the week following, applicants will have access to NIH staff and the help desks as they develop their applications.
Peer review meetings that were due to be held between October 1 and October 17 have been cancelled and are being rescheduled.
We expect the eRA Commons will be available for public access on Monday, October 21.
NIH will provide additional information, including a Notice on NIH operations during a continuing resolution, as soon as it is available.
Information for the NIH Extramural Grantee Community During the Lapse of Federal Government Funding
Notice Number: NOT-OD-13-126
Key Dates
Release Date: October 1, 2013
Related Announcements
Issued by
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
The Government Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 ended on September 30, 2013 at midnight EST and an Appropriation Act for FY2014 has not been passed leading to a lapse in Federal funding. We are providing the following information to answer questions you may have on the impact this lapse in appropriation will have on your grant/cooperative agreement or the availability of NIH's systems and services.
You are encouraged to stay tuned to the national media to determine when the Federal Government will resume operations. Depending on the length of the funding lapse, once NIH non-excepted staff are authorized to resume operations it will take time for full operations to be resumed. Depending on the length of the funding lapse, the eRA system may require at least one business day after operations resume. We ask for patience when trying to contact NIH staff once operations resume since there will be a backlog of information to process.
E-mail, Phone, Fax, and Postal Mail Contacts: For the duration of the funding lapse, NIH extramural employees will be prohibited from working (remotely or in the office). Consequently, there will be no access to voice mail, e-mail, fax, or postal mail during this period. Mail requiring someone to sign/accept may not be received. All other postal mail, fax, and voice mail communications will not be acted upon until after operations resume. It is recommended that you delay sending such communications until after operations resume.
Help Desk Support: For the duration of the funding lapse, all help desks, central e-mail boxes, and web ticketing systems for questions related to NIH grants policy and electronic grants systems will not be available, including the eRA Helpdesk and Grants Information Services.
In the event of an emergency involving human safety, please contact Dr. Sally Rockey at email@example.com.
For the duration of the funding lapse, applicants are strongly encouraged not to submit paper or electronic grant applications to NIH during the period of the lapse. Adjustments to application submission dates that occur during the funding lapse will be announced once operations resume. For any applications submitted immediately prior to or during the funding lapse, here is what will happen.
For electronic submissions through Grants.gov: Grants.gov will be open and can accept electronic applications. However, applications will not be processed by NIH until the eRA Systems are back on-line. NIH will ensure that all applications submitted within the two business days before or during the funding lapse will receive the full viewing window once the systems are back on-line.
For electronic submission of multi-project applications through NIH's ASSIST system: The ASISST system will not be available until NIH systems are back on-line.
Paper Submissions: Staff will not be available to receive paper applications during a funding lapse.
The safest course is to wait to submit any application to NIH until after operations resume and a Notice in the NIH Guide concerning adjusted submission dates is posted.
Initial Peer Review Meetings: For the duration of the funding lapse, the NIH will not be able to conduct initial peer review meetings – whether in-person or through teleconferences or other electronic media. Also during this time, the NIH staff will not be able to send or receive email messages, or update website information, and NIH computer systems that support review functions will not be operational. When operations resume, those meetings will be re-scheduled and the pending applications will be processed and reviewed as soon as possible.
Also, the results, including final impact scores and summary statements, of some peer review meetings that took place prior to the orderly shutdown of operations may not be available until operations resume. Therefore, applicants with applications going through the peer review process should stay tuned to the national news to determine when operations of the government resume, and then check the NIH website for information on any review meetings that may have been extended or re-scheduled. The results of meetings held prior to a potential funding lapse will be released as soon as possible after resumption of operations.
Individuals who had agreed to serve on NIH review panels ("study sections") that were scheduled to meet during the funding lapse will not be able to access the Internet Assisted Review (IAR) site or other NIH web-based systems during that time. Reviewers who were scheduled to travel for a review meeting on a day when operations are down will not be able to board a plane or train, and will be sent instructions on how to handle their reservations. Reviewers who are attending an NIH review panel on the day of orderly shutdown will be able to change their travel plans and return home. Therefore, peer reviewers should stay tuned to the national news to determine when operations of the NIH will resume, and then check the NIH website for information on meetings that have been re-scheduled. As soon as possible after operations resume, the NIH Scientific Review Officer in charge of the review meeting will contact those reviewers with more detailed information.
Advisory Council Review: The NIH will not be able to conduct Advisory Council review meetings – whether in-person or through teleconferences or other electronic media – during the funding lapse. Also during this time, the NIH staff will not be able to send or receive email messages, or update website information, and NIH computer systems that support review functions will not be operational. Therefore, no applications will be processed for Council review or be taken to Council meetings during that time. When operations resume, those pending applications will be processed, and meetings will be re-scheduled as soon as possible.
Applicants with applications pending Council review during that time should check the NIH website for information after operations resume. Advisory Council members should stay tuned to the national news to determine when operations of the government will resume, and then check the NIH website for information on Council meetings that have been re-scheduled. As soon as possible after operations resume, the NIH Executive Secretary in charge of the Council meeting will contact those Council members with more detailed information.
Currently Active Grant Awards: For the duration of the funding lapse, all work and activities performed under currently active NIH grant awards may continue. However, see below for limits on performing many of the reporting requirements associated with NIH grant funding.
Progress Reports:
Electronically Submitted Progress Reports: For any progress reports due during the funding lapse, the eRA Commons will not be accessible. Users will need to wait until the eRA Commons is back on-line before these progress reports can be submitted.
Paper Submitted Progress Reports: No NIH staff will be available to receive paper progress reports. Therefore, institutions are encouraged to delay mailing all paper progress reports due during the funding lapse until after operations resume.
Notice of Awards (NoAs): No NIH grant awards will be processed for the duration of the funding lapse. For any awards processed before the funding lapse that have an issue date during the funding lapse, the awards will not be sent to the grantee on the issue date. Once operations resume, all pending NoAs will be sent. This will not affect the start date nor the issue date of these awards; it just affects the date the award document is actually sent to the grantee and available for access in the eRA Commons. In the absence of actually receiving the NoA, institutions may use pre-award costs authority at their own risk.
No-cost Extension Notifications: The eRA Commons will not be accessible during the funding lapse. Further, no-cost extension notification cannot be submitted via the Commons once the expiration date of the grant has passed. For any grants due to expire during the funding lapse that plans to be given a no-cost extension, a paper notification to the IC will be required after operations resume.
General Access to eRA Commons and Other OER-Supported Systems: The eRA Commons will not be accessible during the funding lapse. Therefore, no user will be able to access the Commons for viewing electronically submitted applications, accessing Internet Assisted Review, or processing such actions as Commons Registration, FSRs/FFRs, xTrain documents, Closeout documents, and/or FCOI notifications etc. Further there will be no ability to access Commons for query or other purposes. There also will be no access to the Interagency Edison or Electronic Council Books systems.
Prior Approval Requests and Other Communications: NIH extramural employees will have no access to voice mail, e-mail, fax, or postal mail during the funding lapse. All prior approval requests and other communications will not be received until operations resume. It is recommended that you delay sending such communications until after operations resume.
Access to HHS Payment Management System (PMS): For the duration of the funding lapse, the HHS PMS will be open; however, no Federal staff will be available to assist or process any requests. Therefore, drawdowns (payments) on accounts can be processed as long as no Federal staff action is required to finalize the payment. For most NIH grantees, this means drawdowns should be possible. However, if a particular grant is on a reimbursement basis for withdrawing funds or otherwise restricted, then these requests cannot not be processed until after Federal Government operations resume.
The Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW) business processes are funded by annual appropriations and are not designated as excepted activities under the Antideficiency Act. No activities associated with the OLAW mission will continue for the duration of the funding lapse.
For the duration of the funding lapse, PHS-funded institutions are encouraged to delay sending all Assurance documents, preliminary or final reports of noncompliance or IACUC suspensions as required under the Public Health Service Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals IV.F.3, or other correspondence due to OLAW during the funding hiatus period until after operations resume. OLAW will extend deadlines for all reporting activities as necessary to compensate for the period of the lapse in funding and the unavailability of the website and OLAW operational support.
Institutions are reminded that their obligation under their Animal Welfare Assurance to ensure ongoing local support and oversight, and to address and correct all situations that affect animal welfare and compliance with the PHS Policy continues during this period.
Informal Notice about Potential Lapse in Appropriated Funds
September 26, 2013
Dear Grantee:
As you are aware, the Government Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 ends on September 30, 2013 and an Appropriation Act for FY2014 has not yet been passed. The Administration strongly believes that a lapse in appropriations should not occur, and that there is enough time for Congress to act to prevent a lapse. However, prudent management requires that we prepare for an orderly execution of contingency plans in the unfortunate event of a lapse. In the event a continuing resolution or a FY2014 budget is not passed and a lapse of funding occurs, I wanted to provide you with information related to our grant administration processes.
Your particular grant program is funded by appropriations that will be affected by a government shutdown. As a result, if there is a lapse in funding, HHS' NIH staff will not be available to provide routine administrative support services. HHS will, however, maintain the Payment Management System in an operational status to continue processing grant drawdown requests. Given that you have received your award prior to the gap in funding, you may be able to continue drawing funds from prior awards during an appropriations lapse. If you received your notice of grant award with restrictive terms and conditions, or if your drawdown request triggers one of the Payment Management System edit checks and/or the drawdown limit controls, you will not be able to drawdown funds.
If you are considering submitting an application for additional HHS federal assistance funding, please be advised that the Grants.gov system will be operational during a lapse in funding and will be accepting applications from prospective grantees. However, for NIH applications the Grants.gov system will only accept and store applications. Applications will not be processed further until such time as the authority and funding to return to normal business operations are restored.
Please check the website at www.hhs.gov for updates. Thank you for your assistance with this period of a potential government shut-down and your ongoing support of the NIH.
Sally J. Rockey, Ph.D.
NIH Deputy Director for Extramural Research
Extension of eRA Commons User IDs to Individuals in Graduate and Undergraduate Student Project Roles with Measurable Effort on an NIH Annual Progress Report (PHS2590 & RPPR)
Notice Number: NOT-OD-13-097
Over the next year the NIH will start requiring an eRA Commons ID for all individuals in graduate and undergraduate student roles who participate in NIH-funded projects for at least one person month or more. That information will appear on NIH progress reports, including those submitted on paper using the DHHS Public Health Service Grant Continuation Progress Report (PHS2590, rev. 8/2012), and electronically using the Research Performance Progress Report RPPR, rev. 08/2012). Beginning on October 18, 2013 a warning will be generated when an RPPR is submitted that lists individuals in a graduate or undergraduate student role who have not established an eRA Commons ID. Then beginning in October 2014, RPPRs lacking the eRA Commons ID for Graduate and Undergraduate Students will receive an error and the RPPR will not be accepted by the NIH without this information.
The NIH PHS 2590 and RPPR forms will be modified to prompt for this information beginning on October 18, 2013. Also beginning on that date, graduate students and postdocs who complete their eRA Commons Profile will be required to answer certain demographic questions related to their date of birth, gender, race, ethnicity, disabilities, US citizenship status and country of citizenship; and where applicable, they will need to indicate their highest educational degree and the institution where it was earned, in order to complete the data collection. For items that request information on gender, race and ethnicity, and disability one of the acceptable responses will be "I Do Not Wish to Provide".
Once phased in, this new policy will extend the existing eRA Commons ID requirement for Program Directors/Principal Investigators (PDs/PIs) and postdoctoral researchers. In addition to providing information on PD/PIs and those in the training phases of their careers, grantee institutions will be encouraged to create an eRA Commons Account for all other personnel listed on the All Personnel List of the PHS 2590 or in the Participant Section (D.1) of the RPPR. This new collection will provide more comprehensive information about the size and nature of the biomedical research workforce. Entering an eRA Commons ID in the Participant Section of the RPPR will pre-populate other components of this form reducing some of the burden associated with annual progress reporting.
The newly revised instructions and forms will be available on October 18, 2013 at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/forms.htm. And, the following tools for creating eRA Commons Accounts are now available:
- Creating an eRA Commons Account, Searching for an Account & Avoiding Duplicate Accounts
- eRA Commons Personal Profile Overview (video)
- Personal Profile Online Help
Consistent with reporting requirements from the NIH Reform Act of 2006 (P.L. 109-482, "NIH Reform Act"), NIH has collected identifying and demographic information, facilitated by eRA Commons Registration, for individuals designated in applications as the PD/PI(s) and any individual with a postdoctoral role who participates in a NIH-funded project for at least one person month. In addition, NIH maintains a comprehensive data collection on students and postdoctoral researchers supported by the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) programs. The inclusion of all individuals in a graduate or undergraduate student role who participated in a project for at least one person month or more will enhance the NIH's ability to describe these populations in detail and to conduct comprehensive workforce and career outcome studies and analyses, consistent with the NIH Reform Act requirements.
In addition to this statutory directive, the requirement for eRA Commons IDs for students responds to recommendations on the Biomedical Research Workforce from the NIH Advisory Committee to the Director:
The NIH should ensure that all students and postdoctoral researchers supported by the NIH on both research grants and research training grants are identified and the necessary variables are collected to assess the impact of NIH funded experiences on their subsequent careers.
Further, the NIH solicited input from the community in a Request for Information (RFI) that was issued in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts on February 21, 2013. The RFI included questions specifically about the plan to gather information about students on research grants by requiring eRA Commons accounts. In general, individuals who responded to the RFI supported the concept that the NIH should identify and track those who receive NIH support from any source during the training phases of their careers. Some of the respondents expressed concern about burden, duplication of current data, privacy, confidentiality and security. Some suggested close coordination with the federal scientific profile system, Science Experts Network curriculum vitae (SciENcv) that will be launched as a public beta version later this summer. In response to the concerns raised in the RFI, all eRA Commons information will continue to be stored in a database protected by the Privacy Act. To reduce respondent burden, information collected in the eRA Commons will be available to pre-populate the on-line SciENcv to permit users to easily generate biosketches associated with federal grant applications and progress reports.
Beginning this summer, on August 15, the NIH will make undergraduate, graduate student, and other project personnel roles available in the eRA Commons. At that time, grantee Commons Account Administrators should begin working with individuals in those and other roles at their institution to establish eRA Commons accounts and to populate their profiles. Various components of these requirements will become available at different times, as shown below:
eRA Commons Accounts: Beginning on August 15, Grantee Commons Account Administrators should start encouraging graduate and undergraduate students and others to establish eRA Commons Accounts. All individuals establishing Commons Accounts should be encouraged to complete all requested fields. Beginning on October 18, 2013, warnings will appear in the eRA Commons screens to alert individuals identified as undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers that the following fields should be completed: date of birth, gender, race, ethnicity, disabilities, US citizenship status and country of citizenship. For those who have completed undergraduate or graduate degrees (graduate students and postdoctoral researchers), the highest educational degree, the degree date, and the institution where it was earned also should be completed. Beginning on October 1, 2014, those fields in the eRA Commons screens will be required for individuals identified in any of those three roles.
Progress Reports: On/after October 18, 2013, all graduate and undergraduate students reported on the All Personnel Form in the PHS2590 or the Participants Section (D.1) in the RPPR should have eRA Commons IDs in addition to the current requirement for postdoctoral researchers. A warning will be issued for all graduate and undergraduate students listed on the Participant List of the RPPR who do not have an eRA Commons ID. Beginning October 2014, RPPRs lacking an eRA Commons ID for graduate and undergraduate students will receive an error and the RPPR will not be accepted by the NIH without this information. eRA Commons IDs will be encouraged for all other individuals listed on the All Personnel Form or the Participants sections of those reports.
NRSA Fellows and Trainees: Please note that these new eRA Commons roles should NOT be used for individuals submitting Individual NRSA Fellowship applications. The PD/PI role will continue to be used for those submissions. These roles also should not be used for individuals being reported in xTrain or on a Statement of Appointment Form (PHS2271); the Trainee Role must be used for that reporting requirement.

NIH Pioneer Award Program (DP1) – RFA-RM-13-006
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Sponsor Announcement Web Location
The NIH Pioneer Award initiative complements NIH's traditional, investigator-initiated grant programs by supporting individual scientists of exceptional creativity who propose pioneering and possibly transforming approaches to addressing major biomedical or behavioral challenges that have the potential to produce an unusually high impact on a broad area of biomedical or behavioral research. To be considered pioneering, the proposed research must reflect substantially different scientific directions from those already being pursued in the investigator's research program or elsewhere.
There is no limit to the number of applications an institution may submit. Individuals may submit only one application as a PD/PI in response to this FOA.
Areas of Interest
The NIH Pioneer Award initiative is part of the NIH Common Fund (formerly known as the NIH Roadmap), which supports cross-cutting programs that are expected to have exceptionally high impact. All Common Fund initiatives invite investigators to develop bold, innovative, and often risky approaches to address problems that may seem intractable or to seize new opportunities that offer the potential for rapid progress. The NIH Pioneer Awards initiative is a component of the Common Fund High-Risk Research Program that also includes the NIH Director's New Innovator Awards, the NIH Transformative Research Awards, and the NIH Director's Early Independence Awards.
To be considered pioneering, the proposed research must reflect ideas substantially different from those being pursued in the investigator's research program or being pursued elsewhere. The program is not intended to expand a current research program's funding in the area of the proposed project. While the research direction may have as its foundation the applicant's prior work and expertise, it cannot be an obvious extension or scale up of a current research enterprise which could be anticipated to be competitive as a new or renewal R01 application. Rather, the proposed project must reflect a fundamental new insight into the potential solution of a problem, which may derive from the development of exceptionally innovative approaches and/or from the posing of radically unconventional hypotheses. Applications for projects that are extensions of ongoing research should not be submitted.
Pioneer awardees are required to commit the major portion (at least 51%) of their research effort to activities supported by the Pioneer Award research project. Effort expended toward teaching, administrative, or clinical duties should not be included in this calculation. Applicants with current research commitments exceeding 49% must provide a detailed explanation describing how their effort on existing grants will be adjusted to permit them to devote the required minimum effort to the Pioneer Award project. Applicants who will not be able to meet this requirement should not submit applications.
Deadline Details
Application Due Dates:
October 18, 2013, October 10, 2014, and October 9, 2015, by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization.
Applicants are encouraged to apply early to allow adequate time to make any corrections to errors found in the application during the submission process by the due date.
Award Amount
Award Details
The NIH intends to commit approximately $5,000,000 for approximately 7 awards in each fiscal year 2014 – 2016.
Award Budget
Awards will be for $500,000 Direct Costs each year for five years, plus applicable Facilities and Administrative (F&A) costs to be determined at the time of award.
Award Project Period
The maximum project period is 5 years.
Applicant Type
Any individual(s) with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research as the Program Director(s)/Principal Investigator(s) (PD(s)/PI(s)) is invited to work with his/her organization to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support.
Only single PD/PI applications are allowed. Applications with multiple PD(s)/PI(s) will not be accepted.

Fact sheet: Impact of Sequestration on the National Institutes of Health
The National Institutes of Health is the nation's medical research agency and the leading supporter of biomedical research in the world. NIH's mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and apply that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce the burdens of illness and disability. Due in large measure to NIH research, a person born in the United States today can expect to live nearly 30 years longer than someone born in 1900.
More than 80 percent of the NIH's budget goes to over 300,000 research personnel at more than 2,500 universities and research institutions throughout the United States. In addition, about 6,000 scientists work in NIH's own Intramural Research laboratories, most of which are on the NIH main campus in Bethesda, Md. The main campus is also home to the NIH Clinical Center, the largest hospital in the world totally dedicated to clinical research.
On March 1, 2013, as required by statute, President Obama signed an order initiating sequestration. The sequestration requires NIH to cut 5 percent or $1.55 billion of its fiscal year (FY) 2013 budget. NIH must apply the cut evenly across all programs, projects, and activities (PPAs), which are primarily NIH institutes and centers. This means every area of medical research will be affected.
NIH FY2013 operating plans:
NIH FY2013 Operating Plan Mechanism Table
NIH Guide Notice: Fiscal Policy for Grant Awards FY2013
NIH Institutes and Centers FY2013 Funding Strategies
The estimated numbers:
(FY 2013 figures compared to FY 2012)
While much of these decreases are due to sequester, NIH funding is always a dynamic situation with multiple drivers:
- Approximately 700 fewer competitive research project grants issued
- Approximately 750 fewer new patients admitted to the NIH Clinical Center
- No increase in stipends for National Research Service Award recipients in FY2013
The impact:
- Delay in medical progress:
- Medical breakthroughs do not happen overnight. In almost all instances, breakthrough discoveries result from years of incremental research to understand how disease starts and progresses.
- Even after the cause and potential drug target of a disease is discovered, it takes on average 13 years and $1 billion to develop a treatment for that target.
- Therefore, cuts to research are delaying progress in medical breakthroughs, including:
- development of better cancer drugs that zero in on a tumor with fewer side effects
- research on a universal flu vaccine that could fight every strain of influenza without needing a yearly shot.
- prevention of debilitating chronic conditions that are costly to society and delay development of more effective treatments for common and rare diseases affecting millions of Americans.
- Risk to scientific workforce:
- NIH drives job creation and economic growth. NIH research funding directly supports hundreds of thousands of American jobs and serves as a foundation for the medical innovation sector, which employs 1 million U.S. citizens. Cuts to NIH funding will have an economic impact in communities throughout the U.S. For every six applications submitted to the NIH, only one will be funded. Sequestration is reducing the overall funding available for grants. See the history of NIH funding success rates.
Frequently asked questions:
How many fewer grants will be awarded?
Approximately 700 fewer research project grants compared to FY 2012.
Have the institutes and centers announced their adjusted paylines based on these cuts?
The adjusted NIH Institute and Center (IC) paylines and funding strategies can be found here:http://grants.nih.gov/grants/financial/index.htm#strategies
What percent cut will be made to existing grants?
Reductions to noncompeting research project grants (RPG) vary depending on the circumstances of the particular IC. The NIH-wide average is -4.7 percent.
Will the duration of existing grants be shortened to accommodate the cuts?
In general, no.
Will all grants receive the same percentage cut or will some grants be cut more than others?
Institutes and centers have flexibility to accommodate the new budget level in a fashion that allows them to meet their scientific and strategic goals. As noted above, there are different percentages for different ICs, and in some cases for different mechanisms within an IC (RPGs, Centers, etc.). In addition, there may be reductions to grants for reasons other than sequestration, as is the case every year.
Will certain areas of science that are at a critical juncture be affected by these cuts?
All areas of science are expected to be affected.
Will some areas of science be affected more than others?
The sequester does not stipulate the precise reduction to each scientific area. However, it is likely that most scientific areas will be reduced by about 5 percent because the sequester is being applied broadly at the NIH institute and center level.
What will be the impact of these cuts to NIH's intramural research at its Bethesda campus and off-campus facilities?�
The impact on NIH's intramural research is substantial, especially because it applies retroactively to spending since Oct. 1, 2012. That can double the effect — a full year's cut has to be absorbed in less than half a year.
Will NIH be furloughing or cutting employees at its NIH campus and off-campus facilities?
There are no current plans to do so. At present, HHS is pursuing non-furlough administrative cost savings such as delayed/forgone hiring and reducing administrative services contracts so that furloughs and layoffs can be avoided. Additionally, employee salaries at NIH make up a very small percentage (only 7 percent) of the NIH budget.
How will current patients at the NIH Clinical Center be affected?
Services to patients will not be reduced.
Will the NIH Clinical Center see fewer patients because of the cuts?
Approximately 750 fewer new patients will be admitted to the NIH Clinical Center hospital in 2013 or a decrease from 10,695 new patients in 2012 to approximately 9,945 new patients in 2013. While much of this decrease is due to funding, clinical activity is always a dynamic situation with multiple drivers.
Will the sequester cut need to be applied to the FY 2014 budget?
The President's FY 2014 Budget would replace sequestration and reduce the deficit in a balanced way. The President is ready to work with Congress to further reduce deficits while continuing to make critical investments.
About the National Institutes of Health (NIH): NIH, the nation's medical research agency, includes 27 Institutes and Centers and is a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NIH is the primary federal agency conducting and supporting basic, clinical, and translational medical research, and is investigating the causes, treatments, and cures for both common and rare diseases.

eRA Commons Users Can Now Generate a Publications Report for the PHS 2590 with My NCBI
In NOT-OD-12-160, the NIH announced it would release an enhancement to My NCBI to facilitate reporting of publications in paper progress reports (form PHS 2590). This feature is now available. My Bibliography can now generate a PDF report of publications that may be printed and submitted as Section 2.2.6, Section E. Publications, of the paper PHS 2590 progress report.
Grantees are encouraged to begin using the PDF report immediately on a voluntary basis. Submitting the My Bibliography PDF report will be required at the same time that the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) is required for all Streamlined Non-Competing Award Process (SNAP) and Fellowship awards, expected in the Spring of 2013 (see NOT-OD-12-142).
The My Bibliography PDF report facilitates grantee reporting in two ways. First, it quickly provides the public access compliance status of each publication arising from the award in an easy to understand format. Second, it ensures grant-paper associations reported on the PHS 2590 are captured in RePORTER and other NIH electronic systems. Instructions for the PDF report are available at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/nd12/nd12_myncbi_pdf.html.

Getting Around Savannah
Getting Around Savannah
You can fly into Savannah and catch a cab into downtown, but you'll probably need a car if you want to explore attractions like Bonaventure Cemetery, Tybee Island, and Fort Pulaski, which are several miles east of downtown.
Getting to Savannah: There are a handful of direct flights into Savannah, but unless you're visiting from New York City, Chicago, or a few other major metropolitan areas, you'll have a connecting flight, most often through Atlanta or Charlotte.
More Flights: Although Savannah's airport serves both it and Hilton Head, there is another, considerably smaller airport on Hilton Head Island. If you're looking for additional flight options, it is only about 45-60 minutes from Savannah.
On the Ground: Savannah is about 10 miles east of Interstate 95, so if you're heading up or down the Eastern seaboard through Georgia, it is an easy stopover. Follow Interstate 16 east until it dead-ends in the Historic District. Interstate 16 goes west through Georgia to intersect with Interstate 75, the fastest route to or from Atlanta by car.
Other Options: You can reach Savannah by train; there's an Amtrak station several miles west of downtown. Bus travel is also an option. The Greyhound station is located on West Oglethorpe Avenue.
Renting a Car: There are several major car rental companies with offices at the airport, including Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National/Alamo, and Thrifty.

Nailed the protien rest temps (122), held perfectly for the req time. Sacc rest was a little high, I was shooting for 150 but ended up 160 for about 15 or so mins before I could cool it off enough. Heating up mash out water now.
Nicely done. Mash temps being high for a short time shouldn't hurt I don't think, so long as you don't go over about 168 and start extracting tannins from the husks... so you're golden, nicely done. Let us know how your efficiency comes out!
ok started the fly sparge, i'm a little worried. i'm getting two different reading on my thermometers. 10 deg different. i'm going with the digital one.
I'll spare you the gory details, but needless to say it was a disaster! My wort ended up all over the porch. Right before I was going to take my OG, it tipped. It would have been nice to take that reading so I could at least see how my process was doing. I will however, make a slight adjustment to my equipment setup. (mental note to self, need a better foundation). Lesson learned, darn gravity will get you every time. I'll try again next weekend, anybody know how long I can keep my starter active? I guess I could always start another one on Wednesday.
I too had issue on my first AG brew day. And like you it was on Saturday. I didn't lose my wort like you did, and in your beer's honor I shall hoist one in his memory.

Stratfor hacking: Anonymous leaks private subscriber list, credit card numbers
- claim According to officials tied to the Anonymous collective, the group released a list of over 100,000 "private clients" of the secretive Stratfor security group, including credit information. Ironically, Anonymous claims the data was not encrypted. Victims who have spoken out about the hacking on Facebook have reportedly gotten targeted a second time.
- rebuttal However, the company itself disputes Anonymous' description of the information leaked, stating that "the disclosure was merely a list of some of the members that have purchased our publications." The company emphasized they had no further business relationship with the clients on the list. The situation could prove a major embarrassment for the firm. source

"i wish there was a netflix for broadway shows"
literally the whole point of theatre is that it's live
i just
but not everyone has the resources to see professional theatre…?
listen when did i say it had to be professional theatre there are hundreds of community theatres and regional theatres and avant garde theatres out there like
i'm sorry but theatre is meant to be experienced live otherwise it would be a fucking movie
i'm using "professional" to mean equity, so that also includes regional and maybe even some community theatres.
here's the thing about theatre being at its best live: it's a double-edged sword. that makes it special, but it also makes it very, very insular. and that's great if you're able to attend productions at those theatres, but what about people who are geographically or monetarily unable to see their favorite broadway/regional shows or actors? why should they just suck it up and accept that the ~sanctity of the medium ought not to be comprised~ when, rights issues notwithstanding, a video recording of the show could be the only way to experience them?
and even people who live in the vicinity of professional theatres often can't afford ticket prices. i would not begrudge ANYONE the wish to simply watch a filmed version of pippin, for example, rather than shell out $75+ for a ticket or get up at 5 AM to rush the show. even regional theatres are exorbitantly priced nowadays.
look, i've seen many, many professional shows in my short lifetime, and even i would jump at the chance to watch a filmed production of practically anything. i really don't see why this is such a heinous and outrageous idea. theatre is already a grossly overcommercialized and elitist industry when it ought to be inclusive and populist, so why should we deny people outside the circle exposure to shows and actors they've always wanted to see?
This is one of the reasons why I respect the British theatre so much. Not only is there a real effort to make theatre more affordable to more of the public, the major theatres film everything and even if it's not released via NT live or on DVD, you can go to an archival library and watch it there. We don't have that system in the US. We treat Broadway like it's the only theatre in this country. Not only is that patently false, most of the best theatre in America is not happening on Broadway (especially after this insipid clusterfuck of a season. Seriously, never in my life have I seen such aggressively mediocre theatre). Innovative, exciting, accessible theatre is happening everywhere. That being said, it often is too expensive, and all theatres need to explore alternative methods of getting what they do to people who want to see it.
Because the bottom line is this: theatre is storytelling. Storytellers should want their stories to reach as many people as possible. I run a theatre company. I want to be able to pay the people who work with me and I know that means that we will eventually have to raise the cost of our tickets. But, we will always film our productions and make them available online or on DVD. Everyone who wants to see live theatre should be able to see it, one way or another.
I adore my $25, any-seat-is-a-good-seat local theatre but they don't do everything I want to see and sometimes I want to see the original actors. Broadway should do a video series, especially when they know there will never be a motion picture version.

That's Texas Governor — and former presidential hopeful — Rick Perry, explaining how valuable every life is. He went on to say:
In fact, even the woman who filibustered the Senate the other day was born into difficult circumstances. She was the daughter of as single woman; she was a teenage mother herself. She managed to eventually graduate from Harvard Law School and serve in the Texas senate. It is just unfortunate that she hasn't learned from her own example that every life must be given a chance to realize its full potential and that every life matters.
After declaring how much value he (and God) place on every single human life, he presided over the 261st execution of his tenure as governor (more than half of the 500 executions carried out by Texas since 1976). Perry thinks every life matters, except the lives of the people he's condemned to death … because he's convinced (without really looking into it) that all of those people are guilty of murder (which means their lives aren't valuable at all).

What I Have Lived For
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy - ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness—that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what—at last—I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.
This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me."
— The Prologue to Bertrand Russell's Autobiography (via stephen-fry-me)

A week of spine-chilling specials air from Monday 27th – Friday 31st October
This Halloween is set to be one of Deal Or No Deal's most terrifying yet as The Dream Factory is transformed in to the horribly haunted village of Little Dealington.
Host Noel Edmonds has called in his crack Spook Squad to tackle the garish ghouls, startling spectres and the blood-curdling beast that is The Banker.
As ever, the meanest man on telly will be trying to freak out, frighten and fool our contestants in to leaving with as little money as possible, but with exciting gameplay twists including chances to win amazing holidays and even more money up for grabs in Box 23, it's not going to be easy for him. It's not all one sided – if a contestant fails to predict The Banker's opening offer, they may be offered the chance to try again at the second and if their prediction is not within a 10% margin in either direction, he takes a peek in their box – making Halloween extra scary!

Blue Bomber Report Record: 6–10–0
Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
'I'm kind of at a loss right now': coach Burke on 'disappointing' LDC loss
REGINA — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers in-season extreme makeover may have some new victims.
Head coach Tim Burke, as been the case for much of the 2013 campaign, was not happy with the work of the men in the secondary in Sunday's Labour Day Classic loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. And that means a club that hasn't been afraid to make changes over the last couple of weeks could be soon airlifting in new defensive backs.
"I was disappointed with our secondary," said Burke. "We matched up with their wide receivers really well and we have in the past, but we didn't today. When we got into man-to-man situations they won more of the battles than we did. That was very disappointing. I was disappointed in that we didn't get a very good pass rush. Our blitzes didn't get there.
"I'm kind of at a loss right now," Burke added. "We've been able to play good man coverage in the past and it just doesn't seem like we can any more. I don't know what the reason is but we're going to have to look at what we're doing and maybe make some changes personnel wise or scheme wise or both."
Riders' QB Darian Durant hit on 24 of 35 passes for 310 yards and four TDs, but was also picked off for the first time this season when Alex Suber tipped a pass that was snared by Henoc Muamba. But Chris Getzlaf also lit up the secondary for seven catches for 112 yards while Taj Smith and Geroy Simon both had two touchdowns.
"We know that we can play with them, that's not even a question," said Bomber cornerback Jovon Johnson. "It's just a matter of us doing the little things right and also, we can't turn the ball over and we also can't get a punt blocked. As for the defence, when the ball is in the air and we're in good position, we've got to make the play. That's what it boils down to: us out-competing and winning the game."
The Bombers exited the game with three injuries: right tackle Andre Douglas — who missed all of last year — injured his hamstring on the second play of the game and could be lost for awhile; kick returner Aaron Woods pulled up lame with a bad foot while Jade Etienne was tackled hard around the head in the first half and did not return.
What's the difference between the 8-1 Riders and the 1-8 Bombers? Talent is the easy answer. But Chad Simpson offered this take:
"Winning is definitely a habit and those guys picked up a real good habit early on this year. They played their ball. If you ask me — and I'm not taking anything away from them — they're not the most gifted bunch. But they're the most sound team in the CFL, they play together and when they need big-time plays their big-timers step up. That's pro football. We didn't do that out there."

'Wandering' mind at meditation makes you smarter too
Your brain processes more ideas and feelings when you are meditating than when it is just resting, a fascinating research has found.
Also, letting your mind wander is more effective than concentrating on emptying your head of thoughts, scientists said.
"Meditation is more than just a way to lower stress," said researchers from St Olavs Hospital in Trondheim, Norway.
There are countless techniques such as Zen, Buddhist and transcendental meditation.
These techniques can be divided into two main groups - 'concentrative' meditation where the person focuses on breathing and 'nondirective' which allows the mind to wander as it pleases.
The participants had experience with a 'nondirective' form of meditation practiced in Norway called 'Acem'.
Experts used MRI scanners to look at brain activity during meditations.
They found that the brain processes more thoughts and feelings during meditation than when people are simply relaxing.
The study indicates 'nondirective' meditation allows for more room to process memories and emotions than during concentrated meditation, said professor Svend Davanger from University of Oslo.
This area of the brain has its highest activity when we rest.
"It is remarkable that a mental task like nondirective meditation results in even higher activity in this network than regular rest," he added.
The findings were published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.

Mike Neal's much anticipated return to the active roster just got a bit closer, according to Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy.
While ruling both Neal and left tackle Chad Clifton out for Sunday's game at San Diego, McCarthy was more upbeat about Neal's return than Clifton's.
He described Clifton as still looking at "multiple" weeks before he has a chance to hit the field again.
Neal was slated to fill the spot vacated when Cullen Jenkins signed with Philadelphia just before the start of training camp. However, the second year player who was out all of last season, injured his knee in a non-contact drill during training camp and has been out since.
In his place, the Packers have used players by committee and have hopes that Neal will be back sooner than later.
Clifton suffered a serious hamstring injury in the Atlanta game, but has been replaced by Marshall Newhouse who had been filling in for Bryan Bulaga at right tackle prior to moving into Clifton's left tackle position.
Though Newhouse gave up two early sacks to Jared Allen in the Minnesota game, he has played well.

Threat from Cyber terrorists grow
Law enforcement and first responder got a special bulletin recently warning them to
be aware of and understand that terrorists frequent popular social media sites and
Web blogs to gather pre-operational surveillance. Some cyber terrorists according
to the bulletin are sophisticated enough to penetrate an organization's network and
devices-and gather personal, sensitive, or proprietary data. Virtual tours,
security procedures, even business hours are key sources of information for
terrorists and criminal organizations. Authorities warn terrorists are getting
better and could use this type of information launch both cyber and physical attack
almost simultaneously.
