This was also asked on IRB forum by your colleague at KY.
We have not seen this at all; at least we are not aware of this.
At IU, the relevant players in the issue are the Office for Clinical Research, which handles all the contracting, budgeting, etc. and ORC where the HRPP
lies. We don't get involved in each other's business or territory. So, if a sponsor wanted to provide additional resources to include enhance training for coordinators, that would be discussed in the OCR and we would not be involved and, more importantly,
it would be irrelevant to our priorities. If they wanted to provide additional resources to the HRPP, we would say no, flat out.
But, again, we are not aware of this happening at IU

Good afternoon,
Our institution is seeing an influx of rapid start up incentives for clinical trials. We are wondering how other institutions are handling incentives for (1) rapid enrollment or (2) rapid start-up – within this incentive can the Sponsor
dictate how the incentive money is spent? If your institution does accept these incentives, do you have a decision tree or how do you determine what is acceptable? Thank you in advance for any feedback you can provide.
Thanks,
Suzanne

Seeking Guidance - Prior Expense Reviews by OSP
by Brakenberry, Melinda Marie (09 Jul 2024 06:53 EST)

Good Afternoon,
Our Sponsored Program’s Office (OSP) is centralized and provides non-financial post-award support (our accounting services team provides the post-award financial support). We are curious how other, similar OSP’s, manage the review
process of payroll transactions and purchase requisitions (for equipment/large contracts) that are charged to grants and contracts?
Currently our OSP post-award team reviews those types of transactions prior to them moving forward to either HR or our Purchasing/Contracting team to ensure allowability on the grant funded project. As our university continues to
grow, this is becoming more time-intensive.
Do other universities provide similar support or do you have another process for the review of such items?
Thank you for your guidance and direction.
Kindly,
Mel

Good morning, Mel!
At CCU, the post-award team in the OSPRS are the ones responsible for reviewing and approving all expenditures (payroll included) for all external awards. Our grants accounting team in financial services handle invoicing, receivables
and reporting preparation.
As you mentioned, this ensures a timelier processing of all expenditures/hiring requests as we are the office working closely with our PIs, so have a better understanding of their operational needs and their award guidelines. In
addition, because we do not have an ERP system to allow for all possible encumbrances to be captured in the university’s financial system, with the OSPRS having to do all reviews and approvals of expenses before they are allowed, we are the only ones who know
in real-time where all award budgets stand. We hope that our PIs as well, but they more often rely on us to be sure.
😃
Hope this helps!

Hi Meredith,
I hope you are well and had a fabulous 4th of July holiday! I work with an executive search firm in the DMV area with a special focus on connecting with contracts and grants management professionals like yourself. It's clear that you have been successful throughout
your career so I thought it made sense to be proactive and reach out to see if you may have interest in some of the roles we are working on.
We have recently been retained by one of our larger government contracting clients, MITRE, to assist them in identifying top grant management talent to help build out one of their financial teams. MITRE is seeking a grants Administrator/Manager to lead all
aspects of pre and post award of grants management across various business sectors within the corporation. The ideal candidate will have expertise in the full lifecycle of federal and/or state funded grants to include working with Non-Profits Organizations
and Universities.
This role is hybrid, requiring the individual to report to the McLean, Virginia office 3 times weekly, and base compensation is anywhere between $100k and $160k depending on level of experience.
Based on your background, I thought you could be a fit. Let me know if you'd be open to a brief discussion about the role and your background, where we can decide if it's worth setting up a conversation between you and the VP running the respective finance
team.
As always, we offer up to $5000 for referrals, so if now isn't the right time to consider a move, let me know if anyone within your network would be interested in hearing more about this role!
Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
With Gratitude,

Question about "engaged in research" analysis
by Donais, Jennifer (09 Jul 2024 16:02 EST)
Reply to list
Dear colleagues:
Could you please share some insight as to engagement in research for this scenario:
For an expedited study (funded by a federal agency which has adopted the 2018 Requirements), institution A has developed a new college course that aims to cultivate interest in pursuing a career in science. The course will be taught
by respective faculty at 5 other universities. Teaching such course is the only involvement (in the research) of such faculty at those 5 universities. Does such involvement constitute engagement in research (i.e., are such faculty considered “engaged in research”)?
Some additional context:
Such faculty will not have publication/authorship creditThe faculty will be given a stipend from the federal grantThe faculty will not be involved in designing the study, nor analyzing data
What if such faculty were interviewed/completed a survey about their impression of the new course so that they are now research participants. Would that make a difference as to the question whether they are engaged (i.e., is it possible
to both be engaged in research and also be a research participant)?
We have taken note of these current guidance documents:
https://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/regulations-and-policy/guidance/guidance-on-engagement-of-institutions/index.html and https://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/regulations-and-policy/guidance/engagement-of-survey-firms/index.html
and the proposed new standard from SACHRP
A New Interpretation of the “Engaged in Research” Standard | HHS.gov but we would appreciate any insight you can share.
Thank you!
