Greetings Colleagues,
As we continue to closely monitor the partial federal government shutdown, OSP continues to review and submit proposals to affected agencies.
Included here are a few key process details and information on impacted federal Proposals and Awards. Please continue to share any communication for proposals and awards related to the shutdown with osp@uw.edu.
The Research Fact Sheet and Annual Report for FY18 are available on our Research Stats & Rankings webpage.
Research FY18 Highlights
Research NOT Dependent on Agency Resources
Unless directed otherwise by awarding agency:
If the research is not accessing agency locations, resources, data, personnel, or additional funding, the work should continue as long as you have available award funding. Performance beyond the time period or amounts covered by the award is not allowed.
Exceeding allotted award amounts is not recommended, may not be reimbursed by the sponsor, and will fall to the department to resolve any potential budget deficit.
The Office of Research is closely monitoring the impending possible Government Shutdown. While parts of the federal government (such as DHHS) are fully funded for the entire Fiscal Year ’19, other agencies face a shutdown if they are not funded by midnight 12.21.18.
Information in this guidance applies only to those agencies affected by the impending partial shutdown, NIH for example, should not be affected.
Dear faculty and staff,
Please join Carrie Harwood and Kim Johnson-Bogart on Tuesday, November 20th, for a workshop on the limited submissions process: what it is, how it works, with a focus on foundations. We’ll meet from 2:00-3:30 PM in Gerberding 142. Seating is limited, but workshop will also be available as a live webinar – with the availability for viewers to ask questions in the webinar environment – via this link:
As of 10/31/18
OSP will delegate submission authority for SNAP eligible Research Performance Progress Reports (RPPR) to all active PIs affiliated with the UW in eRA Commons.
PIs will receive an automated email notification from eRA Commons when delegation occurs.
With this delegation, RPPRs for all NIH SNAP eligible awards will be submitted by the PI directly in eRA Commons. An eGC1 is not needed for these RPPRs.
Last month, at the September MRAM, I summarized improvements to GIM 13 and related guidance that were under way.
What is the NIH LRP?
NIH will help repay a portion of early-career researcher's qualifying educational debt in return for engaging in research areas that support the NIH mission.
The Office of Research has just launched a valuable new web tool, Shared Research Facilities and Resources! The tool offers an index of resources that include essential services, advanced instrumentation, and technical expertise needed for cutting-edge research. This searchable list of detailed profile pages can be found on the Collaboration Tab on the Research home page. Thanks to all within OR, and across campus who have helped with this project.
Please note that in the interests of fairness and sustainability, the Office of Research has determined that the Visiting International Student Internship & Training (VISIT) program fee waiver will be discontinued as of June 2019. This policy change will be phased in as follows: program fee waiver applications will continue to be accepted until January 1, 2019, and any students who are granted fee waivers must start their internship at the University of Washington no later than June 1, 2019.
