make the results of your research public (e.g., publish an article, included in a book chapter, present at a meeting). Research is a systematic investigation designed to develop knowledge that can be generalized. If you plan to present or publish the work or otherwise share results of the study, it is probably research. http://www.washington.edu/research/hsd/topics/Researcher+Preparation

is the major funding mechanism. It can be $500k per year in direct costs, more with permission. The R03 is the NIH Small Grant Program and provides limited funding- $50k per year direct cost- for a short period of time to support a variety of types of projects, including: pilot or feasibility studies, collection of preliminary data, secondary analysis of existing data, small, self-contained research projects, development of new research technology, etc. The R21, NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Award, can give you funds to obtain preliminary data if you have a hypothesis you can test within the two-year support period that will lead to a major project.

application to be submitted later in the application process, following review when the application is still under consideration for funding. This procedure reduces the time to award while ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of information needed to award NIH grants.
*Notice from NIH about a change in submission of Just-in-Time information that is in effect as of April 20, 2012 requires that JIT must be submitted to NIH at least 60 days prior to the proposed project start date through eRA Commons. The JIT link will be available 24 hours after the impact score has been posted.

along with any IACUC-imposed changes must be submitted. Pending or out-of-date approvals are not acceptable. (In the case of IACUC, you can link this approval to your eCG1. After logging in to Sage, on your eCG1 list, click “status” for the relevant proposal to open Approval Flow. Add IUCAC as a “watcher.”)

IRB Approval Date:

If the proposed project involves human subjects research, the certification date of IRB review and approval must be submitted. Pending or out-of-date approvals are not acceptable.

Human Subjects Education:

If the proposed project involves human subjects research, certification that any person identified as senior/key personnel involved in human subjects research has completed an education program in the protection of human subjects must be submitted.

Human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESCs):

If the proposed project involves hESCs and the applicant did not identify an hESC line from the NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry in the application, the line(s) may be submitted as an “Other Upload” file.

Other Information Requested by the Awarding IC:

Additional JIT information (i.e., revised budgets, changes to the human subjects, or vertebrate animal sections of the application) may be requested by NIH Institutes and/or Centers on a case-by-case basis. These should be submitted as an “Other Upload” file.

** Titles of IACUC and IRB applications MUST MATCH the title of the grant. **

agreements funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) awards. Although they do not have legislative authority to do so, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) sometimes incorporate this limit on salary into their awards. Proposals to these agencies should not include salaries budgeted at the capped rate. The cap establishes a maximum annual rate of pay at which an individual’s full time effort over a twelve-month period can be charged for a federal contract, grant or cooperative agreement. It is not intended to limit the actual salary paid by the institution. An institution may pay an individual in excess of the salary cap. Current NIH Salary cap is $179,700. http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/fy2012_salary_cap_faqs.htm
