| INTERNAL DEADLINE REMINDER |
Internal Deadline Reminder:
Due to the high volume, proposals that do not meet the 5-business day internal deadline are at serious risk of not being submitted in time to meet the sponsor deadline. RMG will ensure proposals that meet the 5-business day internal deadline are submitted to the sponsor on time.
RMG will not be held accountable for proposals that miss the sponsor deadline if they are received with less than 5-business days. Please note deadline waivers will not be approved for these submissions.

Recovery Act Measurement Science and Engineering Fellowship Program
Internal Deadline: July 7, 2009 (internal deadline to notify Elizabeth Lasensky of interest in submitting a proposal) lasensky@stanford.edu
NIST deadline: Monday, July 27, 2009, 3pm (grants.gov)
Total Amount to be Awarded: Up to $20 million in cooperative agreements. Anticipated Amounts: NIST anticipates making 1-5 awards for a period of performance of up to 3 years. NIST will determine whether to fund one award for the full amount; to divide available funds into multiple awards of any size, and negotiate scopes of work and budgets as appropriate; or not to select any proposal for funding, upon completing the selection process described below.
Purpose:
provides an opportunity for institutions to apply for significant funding to become potentially one to five recipients who will help to develop and administer a national "Measurement Science and Engineering Fellowship Program".
The recipient(s) will work jointly with NIST topublicize measurement science opportunities, identify candidates for fellowships from any U.S. educational institution, collaborate in selecting Fellows (graduate students, postdocs, Senior Fellows) based on collaborately developed criteria and provide the stipends (nation-wide), administrative support, etc.
NOTE: If anyone applies for this from Stanford they will need to budget a full time program official to administer this. All successful applicants will be required to have a Program coordinator, per the guidelines. If this is awarded then, funds would be distributed to other institutions for stipends, etc., via a subaward process.

JOB RETENTION/CREATION:
CLARIFICATION OF REQUIREMENTS FOR RECOVERY ACT PROPOSALS |
There will be additional reporting requirements for those investigators receiving Stimulus funds. The draft reporting requirements were issued on April 1, 2009 in the Federal Register. (Download Federal Register containing the OMB definitions  )
The requirements include reporting the number of "jobs or positions created" and the number of "jobs or positions retained". As you are preparing your proposals, several of you have raised questions about what these terms mean. The draft notice in the Federal Register defines these terms as follows:
"Job or positions created" means those new positions created and filled, or previously existing unfilled positions that are filled, as a result of Recovery Act funding.
"Jobs or positions retained" means those previously existing filled positions that are retained as a result of Recovery Act funding.
This section goes on to state,
At a minimum, this estimate shall include any new positions created and any existing filled positions that were retained to support of carry out Recovery Act projects or activities managed directly by the recipient, and if know, by sub-recipients. A job cannot be reported as both created and retained.
As you are preparing your proposals please be careful how you define and describe the job creation and/or retention. If you receive the funding you may have to justify how you came up with these estimates, and you should have a solid rationale for your calculations.
Also be aware that post doc and employee appointments paid by Stimulus funds will be co-terminous with this funding.
If you receive the award, you should be prepared to document your rationale for the calculation of jobs created and retained, and you should plan to conduct and document a conversation with the individual whose job was "retained" or "created" to make clear the circumstances around their appointment and the contingent nature of their appointment. |

| RECOVERY ACT-CAPITAL EQUIPMENT FORM |
The Recovery Act Proposal Equipment Form must be completed for all School of Medicine Recovery Act Grant Proposals when capital equipment is budgeted.
In efforts to streamline the process involved in purchasing capital equipment, procurement is willing to engage in up front negotiating with vendors. This will allow procurement to expedite the purchase of the equipment if your proposal is selected for funding. |
