Request for Korsakow care and treatment program material

At the Netherlands Institute of Mental Health and Addiction (Programme
Older adults) we are currently developing a care program for Korsakow
patients living in the community. The ingredients for such a care program
are derived from interviews with Korsakow patients, their (informal and
professional) caretakers and the scarce research literature. We would like
to now of any existing care and treatment programs for Korsakow patients
(both community living and instiutionalized) and of any unofficial research
literature on this subject.

Subject: Funding: NIA R03 Announcement: Secondary Analysis
To: PSYAGING@cwis-20.wayne.edu

Dear Colleagues:

The September 2, 1999 issue of the NIH Guide contains a Program Announcement for
Small Grants (R03) entitled SECONDARY ANALYSIS IN DEMOGRAPHY AND ECONOMICS OF
AGING. In previous years, the NIA Secondary Analysis R03 Program invited
applications on an annual basis only, and on special receipt dates. This new
Program Announcement is continuous, meaning that applications are invited on the
standard CSR receipt dates (October 1, February 1, and June 1). The other major
changes are that the page limit has been reduced from 10 pages to 8 pages and
modular grant procedures have been incorporated. Applications are still limited
to 1 year in duration (but with an allowable 1 year no cost extension) and to a
maximum of $50,000 in direct costs. The full text follows below. Please share
this message with other colleagues at your institutions. As always, feel free
to contact me for further information.

SECONDARY ANALYSIS IN DEMOGRAPHY AND ECONOMICS OF AGING

Release Date: September 2, 1999

PA NUMBER: PA-99-160 (also at
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-99-160.html
<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-99-160.html> )

National Institute on Aging

THIS PA USES THE "MODULAR GRANT" AND "JUST-IN-TIME" CONCEPTS. IT INCLUDES
DETAILED MODIFICATIONS TO THE STANDARD APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS THAT MUST BE
USED WHEN PREPARING APPLICATIONS IN RESPONSE TO THIS PA.

PURPOSE

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) is seeking small grant (R03)
applications to: 1) stimulate and facilitate secondary analyses of data
related to the demography and economics of aging; 2) provide support for
preliminary projects using secondary analysis that could lead to subsequent
applications for other research project grant award mechanisms; 3) provide
support for rapid analyses of new databases and experimental modules for
purposes such as informing the design and content of future study waves; and
4) provide support for the development, enhancement and assembly of new
databases from existing data.

HEALTHY PEOPLE 2000

Each NIH PA addresses one or more of 22 Health Promotion and Disease
Prevention priority areas identified. These areas can be found via the WWW at
http://odphp.osophs.dhhs.gov/pubs/hp2000
<http://odphp.osophs.dhhs.gov/pubs/hp2000>

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

Applications may be submitted by domestic for-profit and non-profit
organizations, public and private, such as universities, colleges, hospitals,
laboratories, units of State and local governments, and eligible agencies of
the Federal government. Foreign organizations and institutions are not
eligible. Racial/ethnic minority individuals, women, and persons with
disabilities are encouraged to apply as principal investigators. Participation
in the program by investigators at minority institutions is strongly
encouraged. Applications from new investigators and researchers new to aging
are particularly encouraged.

MECHANISM OF SUPPORT

The mechanism of support will be the small grant (R03). Applicants may
request either $25,000 or $50,000 in direct costs for one year through the
small grant (R03) mechanism. However, the grants will be awarded under
Expanded Authorities and are eligible for a single one-year no cost extension.
These awards are not renewable. If applicable, before completion of the R03,
investigators are encouraged to seek continuing support for research through
other grant award mechanisms. Replacement of the Principal Investigator on
this award is not permitted.

Specific application instructions have been modified to reflect "MODULAR
GRANT" and "JUST-IN-TIME" streamlining efforts being examined by NIH. Complete
and detailed instructions and information on Modular Grant applications can be
found at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/modular/modular.htm
<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/modular/modular.htm> .

FUNDS AVAILABLE

Approximately $850,000 (total costs) will be available to fund 10 to 14 small
grants each fiscal year, contingent on high scientific merit and program
priorities.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

The Small Grant program is designed to: support researchers interested in
undertaking secondary analyses of data related to the demography and economics
of aging; provide support for preliminary projects using secondary analysis
that could lead to subsequent applications for individual research awards;
provide support for rapid analyses of new databases and experimental modules
for purposes such as informing the design and content of future study waves;
and provide support for publicly archiving datasets (including salient
psychological and sociological data) relevant to demographic and economic
analyses of the older population. International comparative analyses are
encouraged. Applications which are innovative and high risk with the
likelihood for high impact are especially encouraged. See also National
Institute on Aging: Pilot Research Grant Program which permits original data
collection on several of the topics below (PAR-99-049 also available at
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-99-049.html
<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-99-049.html> ).

Examples:

* Biodemography of aging: including the demographic aspects of heritability
and familial aggregation of disease and longevity; incorporation of genetic
and disease variables into demographic models and age-specific mortality
rates; the social roles of the elderly in nature; and biological mediators of
the relationship between socio-economic status and health. (See Between Zeus
and the Salmon: The Biodemography of Longevity. Washington, DC: National
Academy Press, 1997. Also available at http://www.nap.edu <http://www.nap.edu>
).

* Investigation of trends in chronic disease and disability, especially of
the factors underlying the recent trend in declining disability, in the older
population. Determination and estimation of causal factors underlying the
trend (e.g. medical technological interventions, health care access and use,
early life experiences, education, biomedical and social research advances,
healthy lifestyle behaviors, public health measures). International
comparative analyses of declining disability in countries with different
institutional and family structures are encouraged.

* Estimation of the impact of changes in the functional status of the older
population on Medicare and other health care costs. Estimation of the impact
of medical interventions on future lifetime health care costs.

* Economic analyses of the impact of aging-related biomedical and social
research and resulting new technologies and interventions. Estimation of the
impact of health (including links with geography and demography) on economic
development, especially in developing countries. (See The World Health Report
1999: Making a Difference. World Health Organization. Also available at
http://www.who.int/whr <http://www.who.int/whr> ).

* Measurement of the magnitude and socio-economic consequences of burden of
illness in the older population. Improved analysis and methodology to
allocate and impute burden of illness, given the importance of comorbidity in
the older population. Improved analysis and methodology to allocate burden by
disease and disability. (See The World Health Report 1999: Making a
Difference. World Health Organization. Also available at
http://www.who.int/whr <http://www.who.int/whr> ).

* Modeling risk factor trajectories and trends in non-communicable disease
disability and mortality in developed and developing countries, with emphasis
on aging populations. Analyses and projections of the epidemiological
transition in developing countries. (See Murray, C.J.L. and Lopez, A.D. 1996.
Evidence-Based Health Policy -- Lessons from the Global Burden of Disease
Study. Science, 274, 740- 743).

* Evaluations and simulations of the impact of changes in DHHS and SSA
policies (e.g. changing the age of eligibility for Medicare and Social
Security benefits, and expanding coverage to include prescription drugs) on
the health and functioning of the older population.

* Health, work and retirement, including: implications of population aging
for public and private retirement programs and for income security of future
retirees (See Assessing Knowledge of Retirement Behavior. Washington, DC:
National Academy Press. 1996 and Assessing Policies for Retirement Income:
Needs for Data, Research, and Models. Washington, DC: National Academy Press.
1997. Both available at http://www.nap.edu <http://www.nap.edu> ); implications
of women's life
history (e.g., temporary exits from the labor force for child rearing and
caregiving of older parents) on retirement income and savings adequacy;
implications for late-life health and financial security of the timing of
demographic events such as marriage, child-rearing, widowhood, etc.;
determinants of retirement, family labor supply, and saving; consequences of
retirement for health and functioning; comparative studies of labor force
activity; effects of psychological factors (e.g. expectations, risk taking,
personality, altruism, time preferences, etc.) and mental health
characteristics (e.g. depression) on economic behaviors (e.g. savings and
transfers); economic and demographic analyses of employer- and organizational-
level determinants of labor force participation at older ages.

* Interactions between health and socio-economic status (and their cumulative
relationship) over time and across generations; relationship between health
and wealth; role of social cohesion as a mediating factor; improved measures
of socioeconomic position for aging populations; improved understanding of the
mechanisms underlying associations between socio-economic status and health;
economic determinants of health promotion and disease prevention behaviors.

* Studies of health disparities, including the health of small geographic
areas and of diverse racial and ethnic older populations. Variables of
interest include the effects of lifelong poverty, birth weight, access to
employer-provided health insurance, recency and circumstances of immigration;
the strain of physically demanding work; occupation; wealth, income and early-
life health status; and experiences of discrimination. (See Racial and Ethnic
Differences in the Health of Older Americans. Washington, DC: National Academy
Press. 1997; available at http://www.nap.edu <http://www.nap.edu> .

* Demography and economics of dementia and Alzheimer's Disease, and of AIDS
in older populations.

* General demographic analyses of population aging, including: cohort
analyses of aging, including the baby boom cohort; implications of changing
family structures on caregiving needs; historical demographic and
epidemiological research on the aging process and on the determinants of
health and mortality in older populations; forecasting life and active life
expectancy, health, medical services and long term care usage; migration and
immigration; the impact of state and small area characteristics on health;
improved descriptive analyses of centenarian populations; macro and micro
dynamics of intergenerational exchanges; use of public and private resources
in the period before death; and comparative international analyses of
population aging using Census and other data. (See Demography, 34: 1.
February 1997; and Demography of Aging. Washington DC: National Academy Press.
1994. Also available at http://www.nap.edu <http://www.nap.edu> ).

SPECIFIC APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODULAR GRANTS

The SECONDARY ANALYSIS IN DEMOGRAPHY AND ECONOMICS OF AGING small grant
program will follow modular procedures for application and award (see also
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/modular/modular.htm
<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/modular/modular.htm> ). The modular grant
concept establishes specific modules in which direct costs may be requested as
well as a maximum level for requested budgets. Only limited budgetary
information is required under this approach. The just-in-time concept allows
applicants to submit certain information only when there is a possibility for
an award. It is anticipated that these changes will reduce the administrative
burden for the applicants, reviewers and Institute staff. The research grant
application form PHS 398 (rev. 4/98) is to be used in applying for these
grants, with the modifications noted below.

BUDGET INSTRUCTIONS

Modular Grant applications for the SECONDARY ANALYSIS IN DEMOGRAPHY AND
ECONOMICS OF AGING small grant program may request direct costs in $25,000
modules, up to a total direct cost request of $50,000 per year. The total
direct costs must be requested in accordance with the program guidelines and
the modifications made to the standard PHS 398 application instructions
described below:

PHS 398

o FACE PAGE: Items 7a and 7b should be completed, indicating Direct Costs
(in $25,000 increments) and Total Costs [Modular Total Direct plus Facilities
and Administrative (F&A) costs] for the first year budget period. As this
program provides funds for one year only (with a one-year no-cost extension
available upon written request from the grantee), Items 8a and 8b for the
entire proposed period of support should show the same costs as Items 7a and
7b.

o DETAILED BUDGET FOR THE INITIAL BUDGET PERIOD - Do not complete Form Page 4
of the PHS 398. It is not required and will not be accepted with the
application.

o BUDGET FOR THE ENTIRE PROPOSED PERIOD OF SUPPORT - Do not complete the
categorical budget table on Form Page 5 of the PHS 398. It is not required
and will not be accepted with the application.

o NARRATIVE BUDGET JUSTIFICATION - Use a Modular Grant Budget Narrative page.
(See http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/modular/modular.htm
<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/modular/modular.htm> for sample pages.)
At the top of the page, enter the total direct costs requested.

o Under Personnel, list key project personnel, including their names, percent
of effort, and roles on the project. No individual salary information should
be provided. However, the applicant should use the NIH appropriation language
salary cap and the NIH policy for graduate student compensation in developing
the budget request.

For Consortium/Contractual costs, provide an estimate of total costs (direct
plus facilities and administrative) for each year, each rounded to the nearest
$1,000. List the individuals/ organizations with whom consortium or
contractual arrangements have been made, the percent effort of key personnel,
and the role on the project. Indicate whether the collaborating institution is
foreign or domestic. The total cost for a consortium/contractual arrangement
is included in the overall requested modular direct cost amount. Include the
Letter of Intent to establish a consortium.

o BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH - The Biographical Sketch provides information used by
reviewers in the assessment of each individual's qualifications for a specific
role in the proposed project, as well as to evaluate the overall
qualifications of the research team. A biographical sketch is required for
all key personnel, following the instructions below. No more than three pages
may be used for each person. A sample biographical sketch may be viewed at:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/modular/modular.htm
<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/modular/modular.htm> .

- Complete the educational block at the top of the form page;
- List position(s) and any honors;
- Provide information, including overall goals and responsibilities, on
research projects ongoing or completed during the last three years;
- List selected peer-reviewed publications, with full citations.

o CHECKLIST - This page should be completed and submitted with the
application. If the F&A rate agreement has been established, indicate the
type of agreement and the date. All appropriate exclusions must be applied in
the calculation of the F&A costs for the initial budget period.

o The applicant should provide the name and phone number of the individual to
contact concerning fiscal and administrative issues if additional information
is necessary following the initial review.

Applications not conforming to these guidelines will be considered
unresponsive to this PA and will be returned without further review.

ALLOWABLE COSTS

Allowable costs include support for public archiving, development,
enhancement, and assembly of datasets relevant to demographic and economic
analysis of the older population.

REVIEW CONSIDERATIONS

Applications will be assigned on the basis of established Public Health
Service referral guidelines. Applications that are complete will be evaluated
for scientific and technical merit by an appropriate peer review group
convened in accordance with NIH peer review procedures. As part of the initial
merit review, all applications will receive a written critique and undergo a
process in which only those applications deemed to have the highest scientific
merit, generally the top half of applications under review, will be discussed
and assigned a priority score.

Review Criteria

o Significance: Does this study address an important problem? If the aims
of the application are achieved, how will scientific knowledge be advanced?
What will be the effect of these studies on the concepts or methods that drive
this field?

o Approach: Are the conceptual framework, design, methods, and analyses
adequately developed, well-integrated, and appropriate to the aims of the
project? Does the applicant acknowledge potential problem areas and consider
alternative tactics?

o Innovation: Does the project employ novel concepts, approaches or method?
Are the aims original and innovative? Does the project challenge existing
paradigms or develop new methodologies or technologies?

o Investigator: Is the investigator appropriately trained and well suited to
carry out this work? Is the work proposed appropriate to the experience level
of the principal investigator and other researchers (if any)?

o Environment: Does the scientific environment in which the work will be
done contribute to the probability of success? Does the proposed research
take advantage of unique features of the scientific environment or employ
useful collaborative arrangements? Is there evidence of institutional support?

Additional factors to be considered:

The initial review group will also examine: the likelihood that the project
will lead to the development of an R01 application, or significant advancement
of aging research; the appropriateness of proposed project budget and
duration; the adequacy of coverage of both genders and minorities and their
subgroups in the dataset proposed for the secondary analysis, as appropriate
for the scientific goals of the study; the adequacy of the proposed dataset to
protect the identifiability of human subjects; and the safety of the research
environment.

AWARD CRITERIA

Applications will compete for available funds with all other recommended
applications. The following will be considered in making funding decisions:

o Quality of the proposed project as determined by peer review
o Availability of funds
o Program priority.

AUTHORITY AND REGULATIONS

This program is described in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance No.
93.866. Awards are made under authorization of the Public Health Service Act,
Title IV, Part A (Public Law 78-410), as amended by Public Law 99-158, 42 USC
241 and 285) and administered under PHS grants policies and Federal
Regulations 42 CFR 52 and 45 CFR Part 74. This program is not subject to the
intergovernmental review requirements of Executive Order 12372 or Health
Systems Agency review.

The PHS strongly encourages all grant and contract recipients to provide a
smoke-free workplace and promote the non-use of all tobacco products. In
addition, Public Law 103-227, the Pro-Children Act of 1994, prohibits smoking
in certain facilities (or in some cases, any portion of a facility) in which
regular or routine education, library, day care, health care or early
childhood development services are provided to children. This is consistent
with the PHS mission to protect and advance the physical and mental health of
the American people.

Subject: INFO/FUNDING: FW: Data-Sharing Comments Due
To: PSYAGING@cwis-20.wayne.edu

> Just a quick reminder that the comment period for the Office of Management
> and Budget (OMB) data-sharing rule closes tomorrow (9/10/99). APA's
> comments are available on our website at:
>
> http://www.apa.org/ppo/science/ombfoia2.html
>
> The definitions of "research data", "published", and "used by the Federal
> Government in Developing Policy or Rules" have been refined and are much
> improved and OMB should be commended for it's efforts.
>
> Under this revision, FOIA could only be used to access data that was "used
> by the Federal Government in developing a regulation". The term
> "regulation" is a win for us in that it restricts the application of this
> provision to a well-defined process requiring public notification via the
> Federal Register and opportunities for public comment. Further, OMB has
> proposed limiting the application of FOIA to those regulations "...that
> have the most substantial impact on society". OMB has suggested using an
> economic impact threshold of $100 million.
>
> To give you a sense of what that would filter out, a recent Heritage
> Foundation report found that 53 Federal Agencies with regulatory authority
> issued 12,925 final rules of which 188 met the $100 million dollar (cost)
> threshold from April 1996- April 1999. That winnows the field
> considerably but it wouldn't help much if your research was cited in one
> of those 188.
>
> We can well imagine that individuals/groups who feel over-regulated will
> vocally oppose this $100 million threshold and try to reduce it.
> Therefore we are aligned with several other organizations in advocating
> for a higher economic impact threshold of $500 million. We haven't pulled
> this number out of thin air. It was in fact suggested by Robert Hahn, a
> resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and Director
> of the AEI-Brookings Joint Center for Regulatory Studies, as a mechanism
> "...to determine whether the rule is likely to have adverse consequences".
> We may not convince OMB to use that threshold but if enough
> individuals/groups advocate for the higher value OMB will be in a better
> position to reach a compromise acceptable to the scientifc community.
>
> So if you're stuck on how to comment help us out by making at least these
> three points:
>
> 1) Economic impact should be assessed as increased costs associated with a
> regulation, to prevent regulations with low economic cost but high
> economic benefit from triggering potential nuisance inquiries via FOIA.
>
> 2) As recommended by the Director of the AEI-Brookings Joint Center for
> Regulatory Analysis, the economic impact threshold should be raised to
> $500 million "...to determine whether the rule is likely to have adverse
> consequences" (Ref. L.R. Cohen and R.W. Hahn, "Should Researchers Be
> Required to Share Data Used in Supporting Regulatory Decisions?", Working
> Paper 99-1, pg. 17, presented 6/9/99).
>
> 3) Because we recognize that cost-estimates are difficult to construct and
> subject to political interpretation, OMB cost estimates should be refereed
> either by an arm of Congress or by an independent peer review entity
> agreed upon by both the Executive and Legislative branches of government.

Subject: FUNDING: Excerpt from the HABIT newsletter
To: PSYAGING@cwis-20.wayne.edu

>From Ron Abeles:


Excerpt from the HABIT (HEALTH AND BEHAVIOR INFORMATION TRANSFER) =
newsletter:
Want to get funded? Call a program officer!
Making pre-proposal contact with funding officials dramatically =
increases the
likelihood of receiving funding. Program officials can give you advice =
to help
you write an application which the study section will perceive as =
meritorious.
To facilitate increased contacts with officials by health and behavior
researchers, NIH staff compiled a contact listing (URL below) of =
program
officials and scientific review administrators. The list is targeted to =
"those
doing research on mechanisms that mediate the relationships between
psychological variables and health outcomes." It includes a person to =
contact
for referral if none of the listed individuals cover your research =
area.
Here's some advice about contacting program and review officials-and =
otherwise
improving your chance of writing a successful application:
A) MAKE EARLY CONTACT: Contact a program official as early in the =
process
as feasible, preferably at least three months prior to submission, so =
you'll
have time to modify your plan and application. Before contacting the =
program
staff, you should:
*Go to the institute Web site(s) to find out about their areas of
interest, grant mechanisms supported, and application guidelines.
<http://www.nih.gov/icd/ <http://www.nih.gov/icd/> >.
*Go to the Center for Scientific Review (CSR) Web site to obtain
information about the expertise and membership of committees that may =
be
appropriate for reviewing your application <http://www.drg.nih.gov/
<http://www.drg.nih.gov/> >.
*Know what you want to study. Call with as firm a idea as possible =
about
your project and how you would implement it.
B) WHAT TO DISCUSS:
*Describe your idea and its importance, and seek advice on ways to
increase the likelihood that your application will be seen as =
meritorious. Many
program officials are willing to review abstracts or drafts of the =
proposed
projects.
*Find out about your research's fit within the institute's interests.
*Ask about which peer review committee (study section) might be best =
for
your application. Ask about study section idiosyncrasies and about any =
changes
in committee memberships.
*Ask about clarification or information about the application process.
C) GET COMMENTS ON YOUR DRAFT: After you prepare your application ask =
as
many colleagues as possible to review your application critically =
before you
submit it. Getting local comments takes a few weeks.
D) POST-SUBMISSION CONCERNS: If you have questions or concerns after =
the
application is submitted to NIH you may contact the Scientific Review
Administrators (SRA) if needed. SRAs are responsible for organizing =
study
questions and ensuring that study section meetings function =
appropriately.
Questions for the could include:
*Does the study section have the appropriate expertise? Should the
application be assigned elsewhere? Is additional expertise needed on =
the
assigned study section?
For questions or concerns after the review, contact the program =
official
listed on your Summary Statement. This official may be able to help =
clarify
reviewers' comments, respond to other questions, and eventually let you =
know
whether your application will be funded or help you improve your =
chances of
success next time.
Many applicants are nervous about making pre-proposal or post-review
contact with officials. Common worries include saying the wrong thing, =
seeming
unprepared, talking with an unfriendly person, or unnecessarily taking =
the
official's time. But the developer of the contact list, Fred Altman, =
Ph.D.,
National Institute of Mental Health, urges "Don't be hesitant about =
calling.
It's always a good idea to call the program officer."

Ooops. Some how my opening paragraph to this got lost. Please send the
following:

The following article is excellent advice. However, please note know that the
list of contacts provide here is not a general or inclusive list of
behavioral
and social science staff. Indeed, it is restricted to program officers
responsible for "psychoneuroimmunology" (PNI) research. The title of the
list is
somewhat misleading. While no full listing of behavioral and social research
staff exists, one place to start searching is the Homepage of the
Behavioral and
Social Sciences Research Coordinating Committee:
http://www1.od.nih.gov/obssr/BSSRCC.HTM. Under the heading of "Membership"
is a
link to the representatives from the NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) to this
committee. They can serve as a point of entrée to their respective ICs and
refer
people to their appropriate IC staff.

Excerpt from the HABIT (HEALTH AND BEHAVIOR INFORMATION TRANSFER) =
newsletter:
Want to get funded? Call a program officer!
Making pre-proposal contact with funding officials dramatically =
increases the
likelihood of receiving funding. Program officials can give you advice =
to help
you write an application which the study section will perceive as =
meritorious.
To facilitate increased contacts with officials by health and behavior
researchers, NIH staff compiled a contact listing (URL below) of =
program
officials and scientific review administrators. The list is targeted to =
"those
doing research on mechanisms that mediate the relationships between
psychological variables and health outcomes." It includes a person to =
contact
for referral if none of the listed individuals cover your research =
area.
Here's some advice about contacting program and review officials-and =
otherwise
improving your chance of writing a successful application:
A) MAKE EARLY CONTACT: Contact a program official as early in the =
process
as feasible, preferably at least three months prior to submission, so =
you'll
have time to modify your plan and application. Before contacting the =
program
staff, you should:
*Go to the institute Web site(s) to find out about their areas of
interest, grant mechanisms supported, and application guidelines.
<http://www.nih.gov/icd/ <http://www.nih.gov/icd/> >.
*Go to the Center for Scientific Review (CSR) Web site to obtain
information about the expertise and membership of committees that may =
be
appropriate for reviewing your application <http://www.drg.nih.gov/
<http://www.drg.nih.gov/> >.
*Know what you want to study. Call with as firm a idea as possible =
about
your project and how you would implement it.
B) WHAT TO DISCUSS:
*Describe your idea and its importance, and seek advice on ways to
increase the likelihood that your application will be seen as =
meritorious. Many
program officials are willing to review abstracts or drafts of the =
proposed
projects.
*Find out about your research's fit within the institute's interests.
*Ask about which peer review committee (study section) might be best =
for
your application. Ask about study section idiosyncrasies and about any =
changes
in committee memberships.
*Ask about clarification or information about the application process.
C) GET COMMENTS ON YOUR DRAFT: After you prepare your application ask =
as
many colleagues as possible to review your application critically =
before you
submit it. Getting local comments takes a few weeks.
D) POST-SUBMISSION CONCERNS: If you have questions or concerns after =
the
application is submitted to NIH you may contact the Scientific Review
Administrators (SRA) if needed. SRAs are responsible for organizing =
study
questions and ensuring that study section meetings function =
appropriately.
Questions for the could include:
*Does the study section have the appropriate expertise? Should the
application be assigned elsewhere? Is additional expertise needed on =
the
assigned study section?
For questions or concerns after the review, contact the program =
official
listed on your Summary Statement. This official may be able to help =
clarify
reviewers' comments, respond to other questions, and eventually let you =
know
whether your application will be funded or help you improve your =
chances of
success next time.
Many applicants are nervous about making pre-proposal or post-review
contact with officials. Common worries include saying the wrong thing, =
seeming
unprepared, talking with an unfriendly person, or unnecessarily taking =
the
official's time. But the developer of the contact list, Fred Altman, =
Ph.D.,
National Institute of Mental Health, urges "Don't be hesitant about =
calling.
It's always a good idea to call the program officer."
