From lmason at osrhe.edu Fri May 1 14:56:00 2015 From: lmason at osrhe.edu (Mason, Linda) Date: Fri, 1 May 2015 19:56:00 +0000 Subject: [Okgrantsmanship] Invitation to Review NIH-Supported Diversity Grants Message-ID: Dear colleagues, Below is a request for credible individuals committed to diversity initiatives for proposal reviews for the HIH NRMN Pilot Awards. An explanation of the solicitation is in the email below. You may want to forward this opportunity to those faculty or staff members who might qualify for the review. I am sending this because grant proposal reviewing probably the best training for writing grant proposals. If one or more of your faculty or staff engage in proposal writing, they may reap the professional development benefit of reviewing as well as provide the professional service. Thanks, Dr. Linda Mason Coordinator of Grant Writing Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education 655 Research Parkway, Suite 200 Oklahoma City, OK 73104 405-225-9486 desk 405-706-8757 cell 405-225-9230 FAX lmason at osrhe.edu www.okhighered.org/grant-opps/ From: RES_DEV at nordp.memberclicks.net [mailto:RES_DEV at nordp.memberclicks.net] Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2015 5:36 PM To: Mason, Linda Subject: NORDP E-List: Invitation to Review NIH-Supported Diversity Grants FYI for any NORDP members who are ?credible individuals committed to diversity initiatives?, this is an opportunity to review proposals for the HIH NRMN Pilot Awards. More broadly, the NRMN may be of interest to diverse faculty, post-docs, and students in bio-medical sciences on your campus. Information below: On behalf of the National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) Leadership group, I am extending an invitation to participate in the scientific review process for the NRMN Pilot Awards RFA. NRMN is a nationwide consortium to enhance the training and career development of individuals traditionally underserved, including underrepresented minorities, from diverse backgrounds, communities, and cultures, who are pursuing biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and social science research careers, through enhanced networking, mentorship, and career development experiences (NRMN Informational Flyer). Our NRMN Leadership embraces the NIH's Interest in Diversity, Statements, and Definitions. This Leadership Team is currently composed of our grant principal investigators: Drs. Jamboor K. Vishwanatha (Mentorship and Networking Core), Christine Pfund (Mentor Training Core), Kola Okuyemi (Professional Development Core), Christine Sorkness (Administrative Core, Associate Director) and me (Administrative Core and Lead PI). (NRMN Overview Presentation). I invite you to nominate individuals from your organization, who would be both qualified and interested in performing insightful scientific reviews in response to the RFA and Frequently Asked Questions linked here (RFA and FAQs). We will conduct this process in a traditional "NIH-like" format, with at least 2 reviewers assigned to each proposal. NIH review forms will be used, with instructions and deadlines. These reviewers will not need to participate in a formal panel meeting, so time commitments are modest. Each reviewer will be asked to review 2-3 proposals, and will receive a modest honorarium for their contributions. Individuals that you nominate will receive an official NRMN invitation to review and supplementary information directly from Boston College. To meet our tight timelines, I would be most appreciative to receive contact information from credible individuals committed to diversity initiatives by May 6, 2015. Alternatively, you can distribute this invitation, with the links, to such colleagues. You, or the interested parties themselves, should email interest to Dina Goodfriend (dina.goodfriend at bc.edu). A brief paragraph outlining professional credentials and diversity expertise would be VERY helpful to assign reviewers. Alternatively, an NIH biosketch could be sent to us. Many thanks for your consideration.

Please note in considering the purchase of a computer that costs less than $5,000, these universities are working under the federal regulation, "Computing devices costing less than $5,000 are not considered equipment and therefore are treated as supplies and materials." Please remember that in Oklahoma, we function under the state regulation, "When faced with a federal grant regulation that is in conflict with a state regulation, you must comply with the most restrictive." Oklahoma places a $300 limit on items to determine whether they are equipment or supplies and materials. So, in Oklahoma, our State regulation is more restrictive. Buying Computers on Awards under the Uniform Guidance By Bruce Morgan posted Mar 24, 2015 11:11 AM Buying Computers on Awards under the Uniform Guidance Care to comment on the following DRAFT guidelines created by Case Western Reserve University and the University of California, Irvine? Purchasing Computing Devices with Federal Funds (applicable Uniform Guidance Sections 2 CFR Part 200.20 and 200.453) Computing devices are machines used to acquire, store, analyze, process, and publish data and other information electronically and include accessories (or peripherals) for printing, transmitting and receiving, or storing electronic information. Computing devices costing less than $5,000 are not considered equipment and therefore are treated as supplies and materials. Therefore, if a computing device is to be acquired for use in the performance of a federal award, the computing device may be charged to the federal award provided that: * it is essential (i.e., necessary) to performing the work under the award, and * the cost is allocable and reasonable. Determining whether a computing device is essential - The Principal Investigator should consider (and document) whether performing the work under the award without the computing device would be difficult and inefficient. An important measure of this is determining (and documenting) whether the anticipated cost of performing the work without the computing device is greater than the combined cost of performing the work plus the cost of acquiring the computing device. Determining whether a computing device is allocable to a federal award - If a computing device is essential to a federal award it is allocable to that award. The total cost may be allocated to the benefiting federal award - even when its usage is not solely dedicated to the award. However, before doing so, the Principal Investigator should first consider and use other reasonable cost allocation methodologies provided that an alternative methodology will (without undue effort) result in a higher degree of accuracy in cost allocation. Determining whether the cost of a computing device is reasonable - The Principal Investigator must make an informed, prudent decision taking into considering not only the cost, but the utility, quality and value of the device to the project. If a computing device is not essential to a federal award, it is not allocable (in whole or in part) as a direct cost to that award. In such cases, the computing device is considered to be a "general use" item and must be treated as an indirect cost expense (just like paper, pens and other general use supplies) and charged to an appropriate institutional funding source. Please remember that all expenses charged to federal awards must conform to the cost principles specified in the OMB Uniform Guidance. Please consult with the Office of Research Administration if you should have any questions about whether you may charge a specific expense to federal funds. Suzanne M.

I am conducting a study that examines how multidisciplinary research teams in higher education institutions function. For the purpose of this study, multidisciplinary research teams are defined as a team composed of or combining several usually separate branches of learning or field expertise, though the approach is discipline specific. The proposed study is needed to provide an understanding of current and past research that analyzes multidisciplinary work, so that empirical links can be identified and disseminated to create more cohesive and progressive approaches for multidisciplinary research work in higher education institutions. The results of this study will be used to contribute to the existing limited literature regarding strategies for building, supporting, and sustaining multidisciplinary research interactions. I have obtained your contact information through the NORDP membership list or you have obtained the study information through the NORDP listserv. If you are involved in multidisciplinary research at a higher education institution, I would appreciate your participation in this study. To participate, you can click on the link below to the 28-question web-based survey. The survey should take no more than 20 minutes of your time to complete. Additional details of the study are provided in the attached Description of the Study. If you have any questions about this study, please e-mail me at anna.t.young at ttu.edu or call my dissertation supervisor, Dr. Stephanie J. Jones, at (806) 834-1380 or email her at stephanie.j.jones at ttu.edu. If you are willing to participate, please proceed to the survey at: https://educttu.az1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_9BjLx1cFncazkQl I very much appreciate your time and consideration in participating in this study.

The first of these calls will be weekly on Wednesday. You may call 405-225-9100 at 10:00 am and ask for Dr. Mason's teleconference, and you will be directed to the call. The agenda at first will be 1) brief sharing of conceptual approaches by those on the phone call as well as 2) specific questions. It is our thought that a series of short discussions would be more helpful at this time than a single longer training session. We may reanalyze this approach after 4 phone calls, then provide a system or calendar or agenda that is more helpful. Thank you for your attention to grants. We have healthier institutions when we have faculty and staff who obtain external funding for innovation and enhanced programs. Schedule: Wednesday, May 20 - 10:00 am-10:30 am Wednesday, May 27 - 10:00 am-10:30 am Wednesday, June 3 - 10:00 am-10:30 am Wednesday, June 10 - 10:00 am-10:30 am The maximum number that can be on a call is 27. If we decide that our response is too many, we could break up the plan into two times instead of one to reduce the number of people on one call. If we decide that a videoconference would be more productive, we can do that, too. So, if you participate, please evaluate the helpfulness of the content, the format, and the time. Thank you!

Our phone call on May 20 about Uniform Guidance information was about 30 minutes in length on Tuesday, May . Participants included persons from Western, Seminole, NSU, CU, and LU. A brief overview included: * Three main resources that may be useful to policy drafters include: 1) The Crosswalk Document - http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/fedreg/2013/uniform-guidance-crosswalk-to-predominate-source- existing-guidance.pdf 1) The Searchable Document - http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=e229aed322251eefcc78f38a08d91202&node=pt2.1.200&rgn=div5 2) Posted Institutional Policies - OU at http://vpr.okstate.edu/; http://research.ouhsc.edu/forms-policies/; OSU at http://vpr.okstate.edu/, Harvard at http://osp.finance.harvard.edu/policies * Some main items of the required changes in written policy are the inclusion of: 1) risk assessment, 2) monitoring of subgrantees, and 3) required staff and PI training. * I issued a July 1 deadline to submit a written and approved institutional grant policy to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. This deadline can be met by submitting a copy or access to the written/approved policy, but also institutions that do not have a written policy completed and approved by July 1 may act on the option of responding with a status statement. A status statement should provide an anticipated date of approval of an institutional grant policy. * One major change in the Uniform Guidance is that the granting agency will monitor subgrantees. This includes risk assessment, reporting, F&A overhead sharing with all subgrantees, and information transparency. (See 200.205 Federal awarding agency review of risk posed by applicants; 200.207 Specific conditions; 200.208 Certifications and representations; 200.301 Performance measurement; 200.302 Financial management; 200.324 Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity review; 200.327 Financial reporting; Monitoring and reporting program performance; 200.330 Subrecipient and contractor determinations; 200.331 Requirements for pass-through entities; 200.400 Policy guide.) * A written policy about the capability to make a risk assessment about potential grantees and subgrantees is part of the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Risk assessment includes protection of human subjects, protection of animal subjects, conflict of interest, responsible conduct of research, certification regarding debarment and suspension, access to audit information, F&A rate negotiations, capability of cost sharing, export control, and fiscal responsibility. (See 200.205 Federal awarding agency review of risk posed by applicants; 200.302 Financial management; 200.303 Internal controls; 200.400 Policy guide; 200.419 Cost accounting standards and disclosure statement; 200.519 Criteria for Federal program risk) * Specific grant question: Dr. Goldie Thompson, Director of Teacher Education for OSRHE, and the director of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), Improving Teacher Quality Grant Program, issued a request for a statement of institutional internal controls for those institutions that received the ITQ grant this year. The statement of internal controls may be copied and sent if it is not online, an online url may be sent, or a person who represents access to information regarding institutional internal controls (such as a fiscal officer). The intent is to establish the capability for the OSRHE ITQ program to make a realistic risk assessment about the subgrant recipient, according to the Uniform Guidance regulations. In the future the OSRHE subgrant program officers will request a form insuring institutional data access to be used for risk assessment at the pre-award level. It will be a lot easier to respond to, in the same way that a form insuring a drug-free workplace and equal employment opportunity practices are maintained. I can answer specific questions about the ITQ request, and Dr. Thompson can answer specific questions, too. (See 200.303 Internal controls; 200.302 Financial management; 200.400 Policy guide.) * Required staff and PI training is needed in order to hold all the staff and PI's accountable for their administrative and fiscal actions. OSRHE will require all grant-related staff to attend annual training, and will provide additional consultative training as needed. OSRHE will require that all their subgrantees attend annual training, too. It is anticipated that the institutions will need to engage in annual training for their grant staff and PIs. (See 200.205 Federal awarding agency review of risk posed by applicants; 200.302 Financial management; 200.400 Policy guide.) * We discussed the State Regents' timeline, which is July 1 for our written document, August for submission to legal counsel, September for submission to presidents and provosts, and for public posting, and October for Regents' consideration and approval. The campus timeline may in fact be similar (not completed by July 1), but it will be shorter because institutions do not require the public posting of policy changes. As you can see from this timeline, we will not have a document approved by the beginning of the fiscal year, July 1. The actual functional deadline required by the issuance of the Uniform Guidance is the audits of the effective fiscal year after the UG effective date. (See 200.110 Effective/applicability date.) * Each week a telephone conversation via teleconference is provided with all who wish to participate from the higher education institutions and the Coordinator of Grantwriting for the Oklahoma State Regents. The dates and times are Tuesdays at 10:00 am. The length of the phone call will be approximately 30 minutes. I look forward to talking with you next week and in subsequent weeks. I believe it is helpful to hear other institutional questions and the answers provided. It helps to understand better when you hear FAQs from other perspectives. Scheduled Calls Wednesday, May 27 - 10:00 am-10:30 am Wednesday, June 3 - 10:00 am-10:30 am Wednesday, June 10 - 10:00 am-10:30 am The maximum number that can be on a call is 27. If we decide that our response is too many, we could break up the plan into two times instead of one to reduce the number of people on one call.
