Sept. 9, 2010: Amended Status of Applications and Awards Involving Human Embryonic Stem Cells, and Submissions of Stem Cell Lines for Eligibility Consideration NOT-OD-10-136>>
On September 9, 2010 an Order issued by the US Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit (No. 10-5287, Filed on September 9, 2010) provided a temporary administrative stay of the district court’s August 23, 2010 preliminary injunction (PI) in the matter of Dr. James L. Sherley, et. al. v. Kathleen Sebelius, et al., The Court of Appeals has requested quick briefing of the motion for a stay pending appeal of the PI and could decide as early as September 20th as to whether to grant or deny a stay. In light of this new Order, the guidance issued by the NIH previously (NOT-OD-10-126) is rescinded. The receipt, processing, review, and awarding of NIH applications and proposals, involving human embryonic stem cells will continue and NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry will resume. Specifically:
- The suspension of further NIH activity to implement, apply or act pursuant to the NIH Guidelines is hereby lifted.
- The suspension of the issuance of all pending competing, and noncompeting continuation hESC awards and contracts approved for funding is hereby lifted.
- The suspension of the peer review of all pending competing hESC applications and proposals is hereby lifted.
- The NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry will resume accepting submissions of information about hESC lines for the purpose of establishing eligibility for funding under the NIH Guidelines. The NIH review of hESC lines for inclusion on the Registry under the NIH Guidelines will also resume.
NIH Error Correction Window to be eliminated effective Jan. 25, 2011
NIH recently announced a change in their policy for electronic proposal submissions (NIH Guide Memo at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-123.html>> for more details). NIH currently allows applicants to correct errors or warnings during the two (2) business days after the submission deadline. This time is referred to as the "error correction window." Effective January 25, 2011 the error correction window is being eliminated. Although there will still be 2 business days to review the grant proposals once the proposal appears in the eRA Commons, the 2 day window will disappear once the proposal deadline expires. Those applications that are submitted early, will have 2 business days to review their applications for errors. Those applications submitted a day before the deadline or the day of the deadline will be able to review their applications up until the proposal deadline expires. If there is a serious error in a grant proposal, that proposal will need to be withdrawn, and the corrected proposal will need to be submitted. If the corrected proposal is submitted after the proposal deadline, NIH will identify that proposal as late and may return it without review.
Given this change in policy, it is imperative that Principal Investigators comply with the 5 business day internal deadline. Failure to meet the internal deadline may limit the opportunity of the RPM as the Institutional Official to do a thorough review of the proposal and possibly catch errors that could prevent the proposal from being submitted error free in time to meet the designated sponsor deadline.
Please note that in order to meet the 5 business day deadline the institutional official must receive
* the complete and signed PDRF,
* the entire grant application (including the research plan),
* the final budget and justification, and
* the subaward documents (if a subaward is involved).
The Research Management Group encourages Principal Investigators to contact their RPM to start the proposal process early.
