Other Support

2/15/2022: Memo from RMG/OSR regarding roles and responsibilities for collecting NIH Other Support both internally and from subrecipients.

Other Support includes all resources whether paid or unpaid (foreign and domestic) made available to a researcher in support of and/or related to all of their research endeavors, regardless of whether or not they have monetary value and regardless of whether they are based at the institution the researcher identifies for the current grant.

All investigators designated as “Senior/Key Personnel” must submit Other Support during the Just-in-Time process and with the annual progress reports (RPPR).

Note: Other Significant Contributors who do not propose measurable effort to the project do not need to submit Other Support.

Stanford Guidance: Disclosing External Agreements (NIH)

Preparing Other Support

It is the investigator's responsibility to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the Other Support document. We recommend that investigators work closely and collaboratively with their research administrators and financial managers to ensure the information is complete and accurate with respect to the traditional disclosure of active and pending support and projects. Some information, particularly pertaining to In-Kind resources and any additional support received as part of external appointments and affiliations would only be known by the Investigator.

IMPORTANT: Investigators are responsible for the complete disclosure of funding and resources and for the certification as required by NIH. Investigators must not ask their research administrators to certify on their behalf. Please see MEMO (dated 1-25-2022) from Associate Vice President of Research Administration reminder community of disclosure and certification responsibilities.

The following section below is meant to serve as a high-level checklist when preparing and updating Other Support documents. Consider the following items and steps when preparing and updating the Other Support document.

Effective January 25, 2022: Revised Other Support must be immediately submitted to NIH within 30 days if it is discovered there was an error or omission resulting in undisclosed Other Support information.

Note: For Other Support submitted as part of the application (e.g., Mentors for Career Development Award applications), make sure to follow the instructions and the program announcement as there may be supplemental or additional instructions.

1) Active & Pending Support

Grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, clinical trials, institutional awards, and internal awards

Disclose all grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, clinical trials, institutional awards (University Research Awards), and internal awards (e.g., seed/pilot awards) whereby the Investigator is named as a PI or when in a role that contributes to the scope of work (whether or not effort is formally committed).

Note: For internal awards, which may be in the form of seed and/or pilot awards, if there is an internal competitive selection process that commits the investigator to a research scope of work, this is considered a Stanford internal award and should be disclosed as Other Support.

Additional guidance and tips:

- The SeRA Current & Pending Support report (GUIDE) is a great tool to begin with, but should be used as a starting point only. Investigators and department administrators can use this tool as a building block to preparing the Other Support document--but would need to make sure the information included is up-to-date and accurate as it does not capture all changes that occur in post-award.
- NIH's template only for the effort table only includes a single (YYYY) format for the "budget period" -- we interpret that the year to include is the year in which the budget period ends. For example, a budget period spanning February 1, 2022 - January 31, 2023 would show 2023. However, it may be advisable for clarity to include the budget period range so that there is no ambiguity with respect to the period dates. In the example above, it should be OK to replace 2023 with "2/2022 - 1/2023."
- For active support, list effort for the current and future budget period years only (do not include effort for prior years).
- For both active and pending support, list the total award amount (including indirect costs) of the current competitive segment. If the Investigator would like to show the amount allocated to their specific lab, this can be done in addition (but not in place of) the total award amount (see example below).
- Example: *Total Award Amount (including Indirect Costs): $250,000 ($125,000, Anderson Lab)
- For Subawards or Multi-Project Awards (e.g. Multi-Component), indicate the total award amount for the subproject only. If the award is not a subaward or a multi-component, enter the full total award amount for the entire award.
- For awards with no effort requirement (e.g., some internal awards), indicate "As Needed Effort," and an explanation (see example below):
- Sample exlanation: "Note: This is classified as a Stanford internal award with no effort requirement.

NOT REQUIRED to be reported in Other Support

- Training Awards (T32's, R25's, etc.); Note: Appointees may need to be considered as In-Kind Resources if they contribute to their Mentors' research.
- Start-up provided by Stanford
- Endowments or Professorships
- Patent income/royalties

- Prizes
- Consulting activities that do not involve the performance of research
- Gifts where there is no expectation of time, services, specific research activities (specific aims), etc.

2) Active & Pending In-Kind Contributions

Other Support includes all resources made available to an Investigator in support of and/or related to all of their research endeavors, regardless of whether or not they have monetary value.

This includes what NIH defines as “in-kind” contributions to an Investigator’s research; some examples include, but are not limited to office/laboratory space, equipment, supplies, or employees or students provided by an outside source and at no direct cost to the Investigator. In-Kind means these are provided at no cost to the Investigator.

Resources provided through a subaward agreement with funds, or resources paid for and received via a procurement action do not need to be disclosed as they are not in-kind.

Note: The effort listed for each In-Kind resource/contribution are that of the Investigator (submitting the Other Support) and not of the in-kind resource or collaboration. In most cases, the Investigator is not devoting additional or committing extra effort as part of the in-kind contribution, so this would often be N/A.

The various subcategories listed below are the key in-kind contributions to consider for Other Support.

Please click on the arrows at the bottom of each panel for more information and resources.

In-Kind Contributions:

Resources (materials data, reagents, etc.)

Disclose resources (materials, data, reagents, etc.) received at no cost, from a colleague or collaborator outside of Stanford when these resources are uniquely available (i.e., not freely or widely available) to the Investigator and are of high-value and benefit to the Investigator’s research.

Only in-kind materials and resources provided within the past 3 years and that are actively in use must be included in Other Support. Continuous or renewing resources that are actively used should remain disclosed.

Click on the arrows below for additional information.

Provide the best reasonable estimate value of the resource(s) received; you may use the amount that would have had to have been paid in fair market value for comparable resources.

Sample:

*Summary of In-Kind Contribution: Mouse model XYZ provided by Dr. George Jefferson at University of California, Berkeley.
*Status of Support: Active
*Primary Place of Performance: Stanford University
Project/Proposal Start and End Date (MM/YYYY) (if available): N/A
*Person Months (Calendar/Academic/Summer) per budget period: N/A
*Estimated Dollar Value of In-Kind Information: ~$1,500

In-Kind Contributions:

Facilities and/or equipment provided by external entities

Disclose access to facilities and/or equipment from outside of Stanford University, that are made available at no cost and are uniquely available (i.e., not freely or widely available) to the Investigator for their research endeavors.

Resources (facilities and equipment) provided to an Investigator by an external entity or institution for use in their research must be disclosed.

This includes resources made available to an Investigator as part of a titled academic, professional, or institutional appointment regardless if remuneration is received as part of the appointment and whether full-time, part-time or voluntary.

Note: Stanford Institutional facilities and equipment (e.g., core facilities, shared equipment, and other shared services) that are available to the Stanford community are not considered Other Support and instead disclosed in the Facilities & Other Resources and Equipment documents of the proposal.

In-Kind Contributions:

Stanford Students and Postdocs
(with direct external funding & support)

Disclose Stanford students and postdocs as in-kind support when the students and postdocs *directly receive their own external funding and contribute to the Investigator’s research.

*This means they are the direct recipient of their own external funding and includes external fellowships, career development awards, and training grant appointments.

This also includes Stanford students and postdocs that receive Outside Funding, which are not awarded through Stanford.

Click on the arrows below for additional information.

Show Back

Stanford students and postdocs supported by internal fellowships (such as Dean's Fellowship) do not need to be disclosed.

If students or postdocs are supported by a mix of internal and external funding that they directly receive, only the external funding needs to be disclosed.

Sample:

*Summary of In-Kind Contribution: Dr. Jane Smith, a postdoc at Stanford, performs research activities in Dr. Doe’s lab and is supported by their own AHA Fellowship.
*Status of Support: Active
*Primary Place of Performance: Stanford University
Project/Proposal Start and End Date (MM/YYYY) (if available): 7/1/2020 – 6/30/2023
*Person Months (Calendar/Academic/Summer) per budget period: N/A
*Estimated Dollar Value of In-Kind Information: $240,000

In-Kind Contributions:

Visiting Scholars and Visiting Student Researchers

Disclose Visiting Scholars and Visiting Student Researchers (VSR) when they are supported by their own funding and/or their home institution and they directly contribute to the Investigator’s research endeavors.

For VSR's only: If a VSR does not receive any of their own external funding support and is solely supported by the Investigator’s own internal funds, then they do not need to be included on Other Support.

Click on the arrows below for additional information.

Show Back

When the Visiting Scholar or Visiting Student Researcher leaves Stanford, if the collaboration continues at no cost to the Investigator, and they directly contribute to the Investigator’s research endeavors, they may need to be disclosed as an External Collaboration under In-Kind Contributions. See “External Collaborations” subcategory below.

Sample:

*Summary of In-Kind Contribution: Dr. John Adams is a Visiting Professor from the University of Oxford hosted by Dr. Doe’s lab. Dr. Adams collaborates on various research projects and salary is supported by their home institution.
*Status of Support: Active
*Primary Place of Performance: Stanford University
Project/Proposal Start and End Date (MM/YYYY) (if available): 2/1/2021 – 1/31/2023
*Person Months (Calendar/Academic/Summer) per budget period: N/A
*Estimated Dollar Value of In-Kind Information: $25,000

In-Kind Contributions:

External Collaborations (Foreign or Domestic)

Disclose collaborations with colleagues outside of Stanford University regardless if they are foreign or domestic when their contributions and activities directly benefit the Investigator’s research at no cost to the Investigator (i.e., external collaborator is using their own funds awarded to them directly).

Potential indicators or benchmarks that a collaboration may need to be disclosed are when they:

Provide a “tangible” resource (data, materials, services, extensive analysis) that is integral and crucial to the Investigator’s research;
Involve collaborator performing research experiments or activities whose outcomes directly benefit the Investigator’s research;
Warrant co-authorship or acknowledgement in a publication because their contribution(s) is critical to the Investigator’s research.

Click on the arrows below for additional information.

Show Back

If the collaboration involves the performance of a signicant element or segment of an NIH-funded project outside of the United States (regardless if NIH grant funds are used), this meets the definition of Foreign Component and requires NIH prior approval. Please contact your Institutional Official for any questions or seek guidance from your NIH Program Officer.

Sample:

*Summary of In-Kind Contribution: Dr. John Adams and his research lab at the University of Cambridge perform data analysis, run experiments, and share results that directly benefit the Doe Lab’s research on cancer cells. Dr. Adams’ contributions are provided at no cost and covered by his own funding. In addition, Dr. Adams has also provided mouse cancer cell lines for this collaboration.
*Status of Support: Active
*Primary Place of Performance: University of Cambridge, United Kingdom
Project/Proposal Start and End Date (MM/YYYY) (if available): N/A
*Person Months (Calendar/Academic/Summer) per budget period: N/A

3) Gifts that meet criteria for disclosure as an In-Kind Resource

Disclosable Gifts

NIH defines gifts as resources provided where there is no expectation of anything (e.g. time, services, specific research activities, money, etc.) in return.

While Stanford University policy on gifts aligns closely with this definition and the vast majority of gifts do not need to be disclosed, there may be gifts that could come into question.

We ask Investigators and their departments to use the Stanford NIH & NSF Gifts Disclosure document (SUNet required) to carefully consider and identify any gift that meets the criteria for disclosure for NIH Other Support. This guidance is also applicable for NSF Current & Pending Support.

If there are any gifts that meet the criteria for disclosure, please list them as advised in the guide document.

Click on the arrows below for additional information.

Show Back

In the event that there is a gift that meets the criteria that would require disclosure, please follow the guidance provided in the document and resources below.

For more information and context, please visit the following resources (required SUNet Login):

4) Supporting Documentation related to an Investigator's employment or appointment at a non-US entity

Supporting Documentation

For Other Support submitted on or after January 25, 2022, investigators are required to submit, as supporting documentation, copies of contracts, grants or any other agreements specific to [their] foreign appointments and/or employment with a foreign institution for all foreign activities and resources that are reported in Other Support.

If they are not in English, recipients must provide translated copies.

In preparation for this new requirement, the Stanford Outside Professional Activities Certification System (OPACS) has been enhanced to allow investigators to submit copies of these external agreements for Stanford review to ensure compliance with Stanford policy.

Please follow the instructions provided by the Dean of Research Office website and resources:

Disclosing External Agreements (NIH Requirement)
COI: Disclosure and Review Procedures
Questions? Submit them HERE.

Click on the arrows below for additional information.

Show Back

Examples of supporting documents include:

Copies of contracts or letters related to the Investigator's appointment or position with a non-US entity;
Copies of grants, contracts, or other sponsored agreements awarded to the non-US entity where the Investigator is named as PI or have a role that is related to their appointment or employment at the non-US entity;
Copies of agreements that include "in-kind" support related to the Investigator's appointment or employment at non-US entity (including access to space, facilities, personnel, funding, or other resources available for the Investigator's research).

5) Investigator's Electronic Signature (Updated March 8, 2022)

Recommended Method:

Electronic Signatures via Adobe Sign

Investigators must electronically sign their Other Support documents to certify that the information included is accurate and complete. The certification language that is on the NIH Other Support should be included above the signature line (click on the arrows for the language).

We highly recommend that Investigators use the online Adobe Sign platform through the Stanford license. Adobe Sign is a web-based platform (no software required) and is freely available to Stanford faculty and staff at no additional cost. However, an account needs to be requested and created for users (it is not automatic).

Account Creation

Investigators and administrators can submit the request to be added to the non-PHI RMG Adobe Sign Group by completing this SmartSheet (click on the link). Your Adobe Sign account will need to be tied to your SUNet e-mail address.

Please note that if your account is created through this sign-up method, you will be placed in an Adobe Sign group with settings that assumes you will not be using it for documents that include PHI and/or require CFR Part 11 compliance. If you do have a use case that includes PHI and/or requires CFR Part 11 compliance, please visit this website and reach out to clinicalresearchquality@stanford.edu.

If you already have an Adobe Sign account through the Stanford license, you may use that account so long as you are not in a PHI-settings enabled group. You can determine if you are in a PHI-settings group if the system forces you to Password Protect the document to be signed. If this is the case, use the Alternate Method via Adobe Pro/Adobe Acrobat Reader (requires SUNet login through Google Drive); details of which are in the section below.

How to Use Adobe Sign:

Please review the Adobe Sign NIH Other Support Signature Process (requires SUNet login through Google Drive) document for more detailed instructions as well as information on what needs to be kept for internal records to comply with NIH's requirements. A brief overview of the workflows may be found below:

Adobe Sign can have two different Workflows:

Workflow #1: Investigator personally prepares and signs their NIH Other Support document using the Adobe Sign platform. (Investigator needs to have an Adobe Sign Account in a Non-PHI settings group).
Workflow #2: Research administrator assists with the preparation and facilitates the signature request in the Adobe Sign platform and sends the Other Support to the Investigator to sign via e-mail (Investigator clicks a link and reviews the Other Support and signs through Adobe Sign). In worflow #2, the signing Investigator does not need an Adobe Sign account. Only the administrator does--however the administrator must be in a Non-PHI settings group.

Investigators are responsible for the complete disclosure of funding and resources and for the certification as required by NIH. Investigators must not ask their research administrators to certify on their behalf. Please see MEMO (dated 1-25-2022) from Associate Vice President of Research Administration.

Click on the arrows below for additional information.

Show Back

For School of Medicine, we recommend that the Investigator and/or administrator work with their Research Process Manager and provide a copy of the Other Support prior to signing in case there are items that come up during the RMG review that need to be addressed. Please note that the completeness and accuracy of the resources listed are ultimately the responsibility of the Investigator and department. RMG is only able to do a brief, initial review against key items in SeRA system—the SeRA system is just a starting point and not comprehensive of all research resources.

Important Notes:

NIH has confirmed that wet signatures (i.e., print, sign, and scan of document) are not acceptable.
NIH has confirmed that a typed name is not an electronic signature.
Solely including an image of the signature is not sufficient--NIH expects that the applicant and recipient maintain supporting documentation to reasonably authenticate that the appropriate individual signed the form.
The final Other Support submission to NIH must be a flattened PDF document after all signatures are obtained and uploaded into ASSIST (application) or eRA Commons (RPPR or JIT), they must first be flattened. Additional guidance regarding flattening may be found here: https://med.stanford.edu/rmg/resources/federal-agency-disclosure/nih-other-support/flattenPDF. More information on how to flatten PDF's may be found in NIH's Formatting Page.

Include the following language in the Other Support document after the overlap statement and before any supporting documentation. The signature and date should be added via Adobe Sign process by the Investigator after they have prepared and reviewed the final, complete version of their Other Support.

I, PD/PI or other senior/key personnel, certify that the statements herein are true, complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge, and accept the obligation to comply with Public Health Services terms and conditions if a grant is awarded as a result of this application. I am aware that any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statements or claims may subject me to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties.

Alternate Method:

Electronic Signatures via Adobe Pro/Adobe Acrobat Reader (free version)

An alternate method for Investigators (especially if unable to use the Adobe Sign platform) is to use software-based Adobe Pro or Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (free version). This would involve the Investigator signing via a self-certified Digital ID.

The certification language that is on the NIH Other Support should be included above the signature line (click on the arrows for the language).

Guidance and Instructions on this process can be found here (Need to log-in to GoogleDrive using SUNet ID): Adobe Pro-Adobe Acrobat Reader NIH Other Support Signature Guidance.

Important Notes:

NIH has confirmed that wet signatures (i.e., print, sign, and scan of document) are not acceptable.
NIH has confirmed that a typed name is not an electronic signature. (Which is why we are requiring the use of a self-certified Digital ID).
Solely including an image of the signature is not sufficient--NIH expects that the applicant and recipient maintain supporting documentation to reasonably authenticate that the appropriate individual signed the form.
The final Other Support submission to NIH must be a flattened PDF document after all signatures are obtained and uploaded into ASSIST (application) or eRA Commons (RPPR or JIT), they must first be flattened.

6) Formatting and Additional Guidance

SU/VA Dually-Appointed Faculty NIH Other Support Template

Stanford faculty with a joint appointment at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System (VAPAHCS) should use the template below for preparing their NIH Other Support.

SU-VA Dually Appointed Faculty NIH OS Template (Last updated March 21, 2022).

This document includes supplemental instructions and additional language and formatting changes to better reflect their Other Support. As Dually-Appointed Faculty, Investigators will need to disclose all of their research support: (1) support managed through Stanford and (2) research support managed through Palo Alto Veterans Institute for Research (PAVIR) and VAPAHCS.

Investigators and departments will ultimately need to work together with their PAVIR team to ensure that the VA/PAVIR section is complete and accurate and with their Stanford research administrators and financial managers for the Stanford section of the Other Support.

Additional Consideration: Foreign Components

When considering resources and contributions provided from and by foreign collaborators and entities, an additional, but separate consideration are required to determine if it involves a foreign component. In-Kind resources and contributions, if they meet the criteria for disclosure should be listed and disclosed as in-kind contributions. If they are also foreign components, they would need to have prior approval from the NIH.

Please visit the following page for more information: Stanford SOM Guidance for Disclosure of Foreign Components and Other Foreign Interactions.

Note: Subawards to foreign entities are an example of a foreign component that is not an in-kind resource or contribution.
