For SAGE Budgets:

On June 8^th, NIH is rolling out a new Human Subjects System (HSS), which will replace their Inclusion Management System (IMS) and provide expanded functionality.

As you recall, NIH recently released SF424 Forms E with a new Human Subjects and Clinical Trials (HSCT) form. The HSS will be the channel for making updates to data previously entered on the HSCT form within proposals.  

As NIH replaces the IMS, some data will migrate to the new HSS.

All inclusion data:

In compliance with the Washington State Administrative and Accounting Manual Chapter 90 on fiscal year-end reporting policies and procedures, Grant and Contract Accounting must submit invoices or estimates for all services rendered on Washington State-funded awards through June 30 by July 20, 2018. Any expenditures not billed or included in an estimate letter by this deadline will most likely not be reimbursed by the State.

A reminder that we have a new webinar link for remote attendee’s for this morning’s MRAM!

We’ve switched from using Adobe Connect to Zoom for our remote audience.

A few things will be a little different but overall we expect a better online experience.

Please note:

As of April 30, 2018, full, research non-collaborative opportunity proposals for the National Science Foundation (NSF) can be prepared and submitted in Research.gov.

Initially, this new functionality will run parallel with existing FastLane capabilities. As a result, full, research non-collaborative proposals can be prepared and submitted either in Research.gov or in FastLane effective April 30, 2018.

Sponsors, including NIH, may allow Multiple PIs.  NIH has an assurance requirement for each PI. 

UW PIs and now UW Multiple PIs provide their assurances within SAGE when they approve their eGC1.  However, non-UW Multiple PIs assurances are provided outside of SAGE.
