News & Updates
NIH
NIH Fiscal Policy for FY13
FY2013 Funding Levels: Non-competing continuation awards that have already been made in FY13 were generally
funded at levels below that indicated on the most recent Notice of Award (generally up to 90% of the previously committed level). Such reductions may be partially restored, but are unlikely to be restored to the previous commitment level. Therefore, non-competing continuation grants (research and non-research) including those that remain to be issued
in FY13 likely will be made at levels below those indicated on the Notice of Award. Commitments for continuation
awards in FY 2014 and beyond will remain unchanged. The NIH will make an effort to keep the average size of competing awards constant at FY12 levels, but is likely to make fewer competing awards in FY13. The NIH awarding Institutes/Centers (IC) will develop and post their fiscal policies consistent with overall NIH goals and available FY13 funds.
Inflationary Increases for Future Years: Inflationary increases for future year commitments will be discontinued for all
competing research grant awards issued in FY13 extending the policy established in FY12 (see NOT-OD-12-036),
however adjustments for special needs (such as equipment and added personnel) will continue to be accommodated.
Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards (NRSA): The stipend levels established in FY12 will be continued in FY13 (see NOT-OD-12-033).
New Investigators: NIH will continue to support new investigators on Type 1 (new), R01 equivalent awards at success
rates comparable to that of established investigators submitting Type 1 applications. Achievement of comparable success rates should permit the NIH to support new investigators in accordance with the policies established in FY09 and
subsequent years and described in NOT-OD-09-013 and here.
NIH Salary Cap
NIH is still operating under a continuing resolution which continues government operations at 2012 enacted levels. Until the FY13 appropriations are enacted, all legislative mandates that were in effect in FY12 remain in effect under the
continuing resolution, including the salary limitation (“salary cap”) set at Executive Level II ($179,700).
How Should Grantees Acknowledge NIH Support in Papers, Presentations, Press Releases and More?
According to NIH grants policy, all grantee publications, including:
 Research Publications
 Press Releases
 Other Publications or documents about research that is funded by NIH
Must include a specific acknowledgement of NIH grant support, such as: “Research reported in this [publication/
press release] was supported by [Name of Institute(s), Center, or other NIH offices] of the National Institutes of Health
under award number [specific NIH grant number(s) in this format: R01GM987654].”
The new NIH funding acknowledgement page describes when, where, and how to cite your NIH grant in your manuscripts, presentations, and in press releases describing NIH-supported research.
Bookmark “Communicating and Acknowledging Federal Funding” for future reference.

reminders
NSF Project Reports
Principal Investigators (PIs) and co-PIs must stop submitting new
project reports in FastLane. On March 18, 2013, NSF transferred its
current project reporting service from FastLane to Research.gov.
Effective March 18, 2013, PIs and Co-PIs should use Research.gov
to submit project reports.
NIH Progress Reports
NIH grantees with Streamlined Noncompeting Award Process (SNAP) and Fellowship awards are now required to
use the eRA Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) Commons Module for awards with start dates on or
after July 1, 2013 (due dates on or after May 15 and May 1, respectively). Progress reports for these awards submitted in any other format will not be accepted and must be resubmitted in the RPPR format. If a progress report has
been initiated as an eSNAP, the format must be changed to the RPPR, with the help of the eRA help desk. It is important to be aware of these requirements because noncompliance with them will jeopardize the NIH’s ability to issue
timely awards.
Not sure if this requirement applies to your NIH grant? Your Notice of Award will specify whether an award uses
SNAP. Awards routinely using SNAP are “K” awards and “R” awards. The RPPR requirement applies to all fellowship
(“F”) awards as well. If you need additional help, you can find contact info for assistance in this NIH Guide notice, or
get in touch with your grants management specialist. The RPPR page and Frequently Asked Questions also contain
additional information to help you.

Research matters
OSP Spotlight
Terry davidson
Each month, OSP Monthly will highlight a specific American University faculty member for
their contributions in providing cutting-edge research that serves to create and advance
knowledge, enrich the resources of our educational community while answering and accelerating challenging issues we face today. This month, we are featuring Terry Davidson, Director for the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience and Professor in the Department of Psychology.
Q&A with Terry Davidson
Q: Please tell us about your center:
Terry: The Center for Behavioral Neuroscience promotes the study of brain operation
and activity. We aim to bring people from all different disciplines to talk to one another to
achieve their research goals and solve serious problems. We’re trying to create an integrated conversational environment instead of looking at these issues at a siloed level. To do this, we need to have an understanding of the process, nurture collaboration among scientists and utilize a multidisciplinary approach to solving the
issues that arise in our center such as progressive deterioration of the brain, etc.
Q: In your own words, what is the main purpose/importance of your research?
Terry: There are two pernicious threats to the well-being of humans. 1) Obesity is showing in kids and on a global scale and
no one knows why. There isn’t a mechanism to say we are consuming more than we need. 2) We need to understand this
brain mechanism and what’s producing it. There are areas in the brain that are linked to memory functionality. The ability to
suppress thoughts of food are there. Irrelevant memories are also suppressed as they reduce “interference.” We need to
focus on the most important things which include the prominent areas of brain activity that are being the most effected in
this type of research.
Q: What type of research is your center primarily focused on?
Terry: We focus on a wide variety of research like vision, sensory processing, cancer research, etc. Those among others
fall under an umbrella at the center—divided into the following: cognitive and sensory processes, emotional health, modulation of structure/function relations, and behavioral excess.
Q: What are some of the ways to learn and find out about your research?
Terry: You can view some of my publications via Google search. For instance, one such study examines the link between
artificial sweeteners and weight gain. Link to publication synopsis >>

The John Alexander Project
Above the Fray Fellowship
The Above the Fray fellowship is designed to give a promising journalist the opportunity to cover important but underreported stories from a location abroad. One fellow will be selected each year based on a winning proposal to report
from a region lacking significant mainstream media attention. The selected individual will spend three months filing onair and online stories for NPR. Above the Fray supports curious, truth-seeking, spirited individuals who wish to cover
under-reported regions, but who do not have the financial means or professional support to pursue these stories. It’s
not about finding the most experienced candidate; it is about discovering the next generation of international journalists. The fellowship strives to discover journalists who are at pivotal moments in their careers: those who are armed
with the skills to independently tell stories and who possess the ability to take audiences off the beaten path.

Health Resources and Services Administration
Maternal and Child Health Measurement Research Network
The purpose of the Maternal and Child Health Measurement Research Network (MCH-MRN) is to support a forum that
will create a national agenda for health measurement research by producing an evolving compendium of available high
quality measures of maternal and child health, and by identifying gaps in existing measures for future development purposes. The MCH-MRN will thus provide national leadership in enhancing and developing a set of culturally competent
health measures for: MCH programmatic planning; screening; service provision; interventions that promote physical and
psychosocial health and well-being; and clinical decision-making for primary and secondary prevention of disease, injury, and behavioral issues among at-risk mothers, children (including children with special healthcare needs), adolescents, and families. The MCH-MRN will address health measurement research for at-risk mothers, children (including
children with special health care needs), adolescents, and families, with a focus on programmatic applications. The
MCH-MRN will have a strategic focus on health measurements among at-risk MCH populations, which will complement
existing investments by other HHS agencies, such as NIH and AHRQ.
