Grant capacity and grant readiness The Office of Grant Support (OGS) Grants.gov, Sci Val, eRA Commons, Cayuse Regina Janicki, Gerard McMorrow, DC Saha,
Jed Shivers, Tanya Dragic Application development, budget
development, routing, compliance (IACUC, IRB, Bio-safety), application submitting, checking verification
Submitting applications and JITs, receiving NOA/NOGA and managing awards
Grant capacity: Institution’s potential volume of grant activity while considering qualification, complexity, and suitability
Grant readiness: Relative level of preparation to pursue grant activity, both in general and in respect to specific projects and opportunities
At any given point, we may have the capacity, but may not have the readiness and vice versa
To be successful, we must have both
The Office of Grant Support (OGS) is comprised of only three individuals who provide pre-award administrative assistance to the College community Our goal is to enable faculty scholars to submit grant proposals and to manage subsequent non-financial responsibilities of the award, resubmission, and renewal processes
Helps develop or review proposal budgets Reviews and ensures pre-submission
regulatory requirements Helps with creating and managing electronic
grant submissions Assists with required registrations for grant
application submissions Helps submissions of grant proposals to
granting agencies or sponsors Negotiates budgets and other related terms
and conditions of the awards with the sponsors
Manages Awards Committee nominations (for limited submissions)
Assists with communications or communicates with grant-making agencies
Helps with finding resources for improving grant applications – writing, editing, proposal review and critique - creating more competitive proposals http://www.einstein.yu.edu/administration/grant-support/
Helps with submission of non-competing applications, Just-in-Time, Supplemental Materials, RPPR, RS, FIS and ….
Find funding opportunities -- small or large grants -- state, federal, private, foundation
Target dissemination of funding opportunities to interested trainees and faculty members
Interpret proposal guidelines and help with building application materials-- eligibility, forms, institutional data and ….
Demystify DoD, NIH, NSF and other federal and non-federal policies, procedures, and jargons
Serves as a one-stop shop for submitting grant applications

SPIN includes opportunities in all disciplines and is extensive. Covers almost all federal and many private foundation grants. You may be able to do some searches for free
Choose “Advanced Search” from the main search screen
Then select keywords, applicant types, award types, citizenship, geographic restrictions, and locations tenable
Search by status (junior faculty, postdoctoral and so on), - an especially useful feature

New Investigator: An NIH research grant Program Director/ Principal Investigator (PD/PI) who has not yet competed successfully for a substantial, competing NIH research grant is considered a New Investigator. However, a PD/PI who has received a Small Grant (R03) or an Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Award (R21) retains his or her status as a New Investigator. Early Stage Investigator (ESI): An individual who is classified as a New or First-Time Investigator and is within 10 years of completing his/her terminal research degree or is within 10 years of completing medical residency (or the equivalent) is considered an Early Stage Investigator (ESI).

Pathway to Independence Award (K99-R00) The PI award program is designed to facilitate a timely transition from a mentored postdoctoral research position to a stable independent research position with independent NIH or other independent research support.
NIH Director’s New Innovator Award This award addresses two important goals: stimulating highly innovative research and supporting promising early stage investigators. Many new investigators have exceptionally innovative research ideas, but not the preliminary data required to fare well in the traditional NIH peer review system.

Research grants that combine a smaller initial award that transitions without further competition to a second phase supported by a substantial, independent research grant will discontinue the New Investigator status for the PD/PI(s) at the point of transition to the larger award. This includes combined, transitional awards like the R21/R33, SBIR/STTR Fast-Track (R42, UT2, R44, U44), UH2/UH3.
