Update
On October 1 Deadline – Feedback Requested R&SP Annual Report Now Available Selected tables from Research and Sponsored Programs (R&SP) were published in the prior issue of the R&SP Communicator. The full report is now available at http://www.iupui.edu/~resgrad/spon/reportscontent2.htm. Updated Important Notice The following Indiana University Important Notice was recently updated and reissued: #03-6 Routing of Sponsored Projects Documents for the Indianapolis Campus, IUPU Columbus, and the Regional Centers for Medical Education http://www.fms.indiana.edu/cg/imp_notice/03-6.asp. New NSF Proposal Guidelines The National Science Foundation (NSF) has published a revised Grant Proposal Guide (NSF 04-2) effective for proposals submitted on or after October 1, 2003. The most recent revisions concern the Small Grants for Exploratory Research (SGER) Program. The Guide can be accessed at http://www.nsf.gov/pubsys/ods/getpub.cfm?nsf042. Those preparing proposals to NSF should be sure to review the changes and follow all new instructions. NIH Issues Exception to Policy on Submission of Revised Applications Current National Institutes of Health (NIH) policy allows a proposal to be submitted for consideration only three times (the original submission and two revisions). Because of the reorganization of the Integrated Review Groups and their study sections, NIH will allow a third revision to be submitted if it meets specific criteria. For additional details, see the NIH announcement at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-03-065.html. |
