March 25, 2013 we moved into our new home at NCI Shady Grove – 9609 Medical Center Drive, Rockville, MD
OGA is located in the West Tower on the second floor Staff also still located in Frederick at Riverside
OGA Organization
• Split for larger workload grantees between two specialists
• P30 Specialist – primary assignment• Will be held for no more than three
fiscal years - unless there is a valid business concern
• OGA changed the assignment structure
• Assignments made by grantee institution instead of Cancer Activity
• Teams for specialized mechanisms – Fs, Ts, Ks, R25s, SBIR/STTR
Beginning in FY2014
• Improved customer service – more intimate knowledge of grantee and serve as single point of contact
• Enhanced risk management of grantee operations – improved line of communication for improvement opportunities
• Better distribution of workload across NCI’s Grants Management Specialists
• Heightened grants management staff awareness and knowledge of different types of grants across the NCI
By making this
change, we can

Competing RPG Funding Policy New Awards – generally will sustain a 17%
reduction from adjusted requestedCompeting Renewal Awards – generally will
be funded at the current level of support
NRSA awards Stipends increase for undergraduate and
graduate studentsPredoctoral stipend level increased to
$22,476Level 0 Postdoctoral stipends increase to

Revised version to be effective for all FY2014 grant awards
Includes new and modified requirements, clarifies certain policies, and implements changes in statutes, regulations, and policies implemented through appropriate legal and/or policy processes since October 2012.
Significant Changes Document available summarizing changes
See Guide Notice NOT-OD-14-001
Advisory Committee to the Director (NIH) approved model for a sustainable & diverse biomedical research workforce to inform decisions about training the optimal number of people for appropriate types of positions to advance science and promote health.
Conclusions Increase in PhDs & an aging workforce make launching a
traditional academic research career more difficult; Long training time & low early salaries may make such a
career less attractive; Current training programs may limit trainees to an
academic research career; See details of their report at: http://acd.od.nih.gov/bwf.htm
.
Next steps include: Small implementation teams formed for Workforce
(focused on Grad Students and Postdocs), Diversity, Data/Informatics;
Sample Goals: • Provide broader & better training experience for
grad students & postdocs; • Expand/improve programs;• Improve data collection on career outcomes of
students/pos
Individual Development Plans (IDPs) for all Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Researchers supported by NIH IDP will help these individuals achieve career goals within the
biomedical research workforce Institutions will be encouraged to develop IDPs and report on these for
such individuals reported as “Participants” on the RPPR or on a Statement of Appointment Form (PHS2271) beginning in October 2014
IDP will NOT be required; reporting will focus on how the IDP is used to help manage the training for these individuals

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 (Pub. L. 112-239, enacted January 2, 2013.
Mandates a pilot program titled "Pilot Program for Enhancement of Contractor Employee Whistleblower Protections.”

Framing: This is a risk management issue, not a communication challenge.
Centers need systems to ensure 100% compliance Routine and effective monitoring Training, assurances and notifications
Ensuring all affiliated authors Can identify activities and papers that directly
arise from the award Understand public access obligations Associate funding with the parent grant number in
My NCBI and the NIHMS
Need a plan or system that can withstand miscommunication and forgetfulness
Organizations and Investigators need to:Understand that Public Access is their
responsibility, and will never go awayCheck their compliance on My NCBI periodicallyDevelop systems to ensure they can notify
collaborators about public access requirements in advance
Using their existing supports (Office of Sponsored Research) and internal publication policies
NIH announced release of the Public Access Compliance Monitor (http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/utils/pacm
A web-based tool that institutions can use to track compliance of publications that fall under the NIH Public Access Policy
By providing efficient and flexible methods for retrieving, viewing, and organizing public access compliance information, the compliance monitor supports the efforts of grantee organizations to ensure their awards are compliant.
For additional information, see NOT-OD-13-020.

experienced investigators with outstanding records of cancer research productivity who are likely to continue to conduct exceptional research
Allows an institution to submit an application nominating an established PI for a seven year grant
Expected to provide extended funding stability and encourage investigators to embark on projects of unusual potential in cancer research
NIH changes to submission policies and what can be submitted as a new application
