"OTHER SUPPORT" IN PHS GRANT APPLICATIONS
P.T. 34; K.W. 1014002, 1014006
National Institutes of Health
The PHS 398 (Rev. 9/86) and PHS 2590 (Rev. 9/86) grant application forms
include a section on OTHER SUPPORT, where applicants are expected to list all,
including both Federal and non-Federal, active support and pending and planned
requests for support of research and research-related activities by all key
personnel listed for each application. This information is important to PHS
review-award processes to help evaluate the compatibility of application
requests with investigators' capabilities and responsibilities, and eliminate
unwarranted duplication of support for investigators' efforts. Application
instructions emphasize the requirement for complete, accurate, and reliable
information. In signing the face page of the application the principal
investigator/program director and the applicant institution official certify
that the application information is accurate and complete.
Applicants are reminded of the necessity to provide the full and reliable
information requested. As noted in the instructions, "Incomplete, inaccurate,
or ambiguous information about OTHER SUPPORT could lead to delays in review of
the application." Further, applicants should be cognizant that serious
consequences could result if failure to provide complete and accurate
information be construed as an attempt to mislead PHS agency advisory groups
and staff in their review and award responsibilities.
"OTHER SUPPORT" IN NIH R&D CONTRACT PROPOSALS
P.T. 34; K.W. 1014002, 1014006
National Institutes of Health
Documentation required in Section J of the NIH uniform Request for Proposal
format includes Standard Form 1411, Contract Pricing Proposal Cover Sheet,
which instructs offerors to identify any contracts or subcontracts they have
been awarded "for the same or similar items" within the past three years.
Additionally, offerors are required to provide a Summary of Related
Activities, identifying all active federal contracts, cooperative agreements,
grants, and commercial agreements, and submitted proposals, including actual
and proposed levels of effort for all key individuals in the proposal to NIH.
As for PHS grant applications, mentioned just above, offerors should be aware
that serious consequences could result if their failure to provide complete
and accurate information be construed as an attempt to mislead agency advisory
groups and staff in their review and award responsibilities.
BIOMEDICAL WORKSHOP ON SUPERCOMPUTING TECHNIQUES
P.T. 42; K.W. 1004000
Division of Research Resources
The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) is conducting a 4 and 1/2 day
workshop on supercomputing techniques for biomedical researchers May 1-5,
1989. This workshop is funded by a grant from the Division of Research
Resources' Biomedical Research Technology (BRT) Program of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH).
The workshop is aimed at experienced FORTRAN programmers, but prior
supercomputing experience is not necessary. The topics include an
introduction to VMS (half-day, optional), the Cray-VAX interface, the UNICOS
operating system, optimization techniques, an overview of available biomedical
software and a description of access paths to the PSC.
Travel, meals, and hotel accommodations are covered for U.S. academic
participants under the grant. A limited number of openings for industry-based
biomedical researchers may be available for a fee of $1,000. Enrollment is
limited to 20 participants. THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF APPLICATIONS IS
MARCH 15, 1989.
