We have had to create a new registration and then import our old CCR data.  Which it lets you do.  Never did reach their help line and only received a confirmation email concerning email to FAQ.

Seems to be working okay, though  it did crash when I tried to update POC.

Subject: Research Ethics Opportunity Update

We are only 1 month away from the September 11th Smithsonian Ethics Education Event,

"Sisters of Selma: A Social Justice Premiere."

Register today at the following site:

http://bit.ly/Lj1NXj

The event will address foundational issues in ethics and social justice. These issues are directly related to the work we all do in healthcare and healthcare leadership, research and development, education, humanitarian assistance, socio-behavioral studies, and social action.

This convocation is going to be a great way to prepare for the 50th anniversary in 2013 of Dr. ML King's monumental speech, "I Have A Dream."

The event will begin with a special opening keynote followed by an international film premiere of an acclaimed 2007 PBS ethics documentary. A distinguished faculty panel discussion will follow involving professors, university leaders, researchers, and project managers from University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Duquesne University, Tuskegee University, and the private non-profit sector. Participant Q&A will be engaged before closing reflections and remarks.

SPECIAL FACULTY AND GUESTS!!! Participants will get to meet the Producer/Director, Ms. Jayasri Joyce Hart, and two of the actual original six Sisters of Selma: Sr. Antona Ebo, FSM; and Sr. Barbara Lum, SSJ. They are part of the faculty for the panel and first responses. Another of our honored guests will be SSGT (ret) George Brummell, USA. SSGT is the author of "Shades of Darkness: A Black Soldier's Journey Through Vietnam, Blindness, And Back Again." SSGT, today retired, works with the Blinded Veterans Association. He is a social worker and has been a tireless worker for human rights and the dignity of others. Obviously, the presence of these individuals as well as many others will make for a fantastic educational experience for us all --- on every level --- academic, professional, and personal.

The conference will take place Tuesday, September 11, 2012, 1pm-4:30pm, in The Baird Auditorium at the National Museum of Natural History, 10th and Constitution Ave NW, Washington, DC. The conference is free and open to the public. However, registration is needed to secure logistics. The schedule with summary and faculty listing can be downloaded from the registration site.

For technical difficulties with registration, contact: xxxxxx@angleproof.com

For questions as to the content or agenda, contact me.

Look forward to seeing you on Sept 11th.

Regards,
Dr. Ed Gabriele
Series Co-Director

Subject: Re: SAM Problems

In the "For what it's worth" column, which admittedly is not much, the
issues with SAM is across all users, not just Higher Ed.    Everyone is
having problems accessing the system.  I've been reading about the issues in many forums.

While patience may be a virtue, it doesn't help anyone with submitting grant, cooperative agreement, or contract bid applications.

Even if your registration is not expired, you may not be able to access your records in SAM.  Our institutional information is current, and my password was updated prior to the transition; however, I have been unable to log in since the transition.  I have only intermittent success even reaching the SAM home page.  Once there, again, access to look up institutional information is intermittent.  Very frustrating!

According to a previous post from eRA, if you have an active CCR registration you do not need to do anything until it is time to renew. If your registration was due to expire between May 15 and July 15, 2012, the expiration date was to be extended by 90 days.

Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] SAM Problems

Has anyone received a satisfactory answer about what those of us who have been unable to register with SAM for the last week plus are supposed to do about today's grant deadline?  I have been on hold for hours over the last week with multiple agencies and have only talked to one live person.  He was at Grants.gov and while he was very sympathetic was unable to help except to give me a number at NIH to call.  That mailbox was full and they suggest you write an email (which I did) but no answer yet.  CSR is also too busy to take calls.

Clearly we're not the only ones with this issue.  Does anyone have an alternate way to submit other than through G.g who will kick the app out without a SAM registration?  Has anyone heard that the deadline for SBIR/STTRs might be extended because of the trouble everyone has had with SAM being down for the last week?

Thanks for your help.  I'm currently on hold with eRA Commons (going into minute #43) hoping they have some suggestions.

I would like a copy.  I support the concept of complexity and would ad that often the msall grants require far more work than very large NIH grants.  So with a shrinking portfolio of NIH dollars, the work load can easily escalate in terms of hours spent to administer these awards.

We're trying to come up with a measure of complexity.  I have a draft document that splits up our award types into complexity groups from 1 the least complex to  5 most complex.  Let me know if you want a copy.  I want to add the 1-5 complexity rating to our award database and run reports from time to time on complex awards.  It's a very vague measure but it's better than what we have now (nothing).

Greetings

Like all of you, our lives have become much more complex over the past few years, a trend that I do not see easing up.

Looking back even five years, we didn’t have ARRA reporting, FFATA reporting, increased FCOI requirements, RCR was a smaller issue, and g.g was just cranking up, etc, etc., etc.

I even remember when summer was catch-up time!

However, when measuring what we do, we still rely heavily on how many proposals we process and how many awards we receive as the primary means of determining effectiveness and efficiency despite the fact that these measures do not capture life as we know it today.

So…….does anyone out in grantland have any insight or perspective on how to convey that by way of performance metrics?

Larry
