Director, Office of Grants Administration, NCI

March 25, 2013 we moved into our new home at NCI Shady Grove
– 9609 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, MD

OGA is located in the West Tower on the second floor

Staff also still located in Frederick at Riverside
OGA Organization
Historical
Assignment
Structure
The Result
• Assign a Cancer Activity to an OGA Grants
Management Branch
• Then a grantee institution to the Specialist
within the Branch
• uneven workload distribution
• “back-up” assignments to even workload
• limited exposure for Grants Specialists
• potential risk in grantee management
analysis
Beginning
in FY2014
Assignment
• OGA changed the assignment structure
• Assignments made by grantee institution
instead of Cancer Activity
• Teams for specialized mechanisms – Fs, Ts,
Ks, R25s, SBIR/STTR
• Split for larger workload grantees between
two specialists
• P30 Specialist – primary assignment
• Will be held for no more than three fiscal
years - unless there is a valid business
concern
By making
this change,
we can
provide:
• Improved customer service – more intimate
knowledge of grantee and serve as single
point of contact
• Enhanced risk management of grantee
operations – improved line of
communication for improvement
opportunities
• Better distribution of workload across NCI’s
Grants Management Specialists
• Heightened grants management staff
awareness and knowledge of different
types of grants across the NCI

 Type 5 out-year commitments will not be
reduced
 Anticipate this will also be applied to all nonRPG mechanisms
 Competing RPG Funding Policy


New Awards – generally will sustain a 17%
reduction from adjusted requested
Competing Renewal Awards – generally will be
funded at the current level of support
 NRSA
awards
Stipends increase for undergraduate and
graduate students
 Predoctoral stipend level increased to $22,476
 Level 0 Postdoctoral stipends increase to


Launched Application Submission System and Interface for
Submission Tracking (ASSIST) in November 2012

Due dates on/after May 25, 2014 — U54, UM1

Organizations that use system-to-system solutions to transmit
applications via data stream to Grants.gov rather than using the
Grants.gov forms should check with their service providers to
determine when their systems will be able to accommodate
multi-project applications through Grants.gov.

clarifies certain policies, and implements
changes in statutes, regulations, and policies
implemented through appropriate legal and/or
policy processes since October 2012.
 Significant Changes Document available
summarizing changes
 See Guide Notice NOT-OD-14-001

Advisory Committee to the Director (NIH) approved model for
a sustainable & diverse biomedical research workforce to
inform decisions about training the optimal number of people
for appropriate types of positions to advance science and
promote health.

Conclusions




Increase in PhDs & an aging workforce make launching a traditional
academic research career more difficult;
Long training time & low early salaries may make such a career
less attractive;
Current training programs may limit trainees to an academic
research career;
See details of their report at: http://acd.od.nih.gov/bwf.htm.

Next steps include:
 Small implementation teams formed for Workforce
(focused on Grad Students and Postdocs), Diversity,
Data/Informatics;
 Sample Goals:
• Provide broader & better training experience for grad
students & postdocs;
• Expand/improve programs;
• Improve data collection on career outcomes of
students/pos


Individual Development Plans (IDPs) for all Graduate
Students and Postdoctoral Researchers supported by NIH

IDP will help these individuals achieve career goals within the
biomedical research workforce

Institutions will be encouraged to develop IDPs and report on these for
such individuals reported as “Participants” on the RPPR or on a
Statement of Appointment Form (PHS2271) beginning in October 2014

IDP will NOT be required; reporting will focus on how the IDP is used to
help manage the training for these individuals

See NOT-OD-13-093
Commons ID requirement expanding to include Graduate
Students & Undergraduates

Expands existing requirement for PD/PIs and Postdoctoral researchers

To Be Phased in—RPPR warnings effective with RPPR submissions
beginning 11/7/2013; Required with RPPR submissions October 2014

Certain demographic data in the Person Profile will eventually be
required …additional information NOT-OD-13-097
Science Experts Network (beta) test version now

biosketches
 Integrates with eRA Commons and PubMed
 See NOT-OD-13-114 for additional details,

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 (Pub.
L. 112-239, enacted January 2, 2013.

Effective date is retroactive to July 1, 2013 and applies to awards issued on
or after that date and through January 1, 2017.
New terms and conditions require all grantees, their subgrantees and
subcontractors to:
 1. Inform their employees working on any Federal award that they are subject
to the whistleblower rights and remedies of the pilot program;
 2. Inform their employees in writing of employee whistleblower protections
under 41 U.S.C. §4712 in the predominant native language of the workforce;
and,
 3. Contractors and grantees will include such requirements in any agreement
made with a subcontractor or subgrantee.
