From: FASEB [xxxxxx@faseb.org] Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2013 10:00 AM To: Bravo, Jaclyn Subject: Urge Congress to Support $32 billion for the NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH in 2014 Dear Colleague, The Senate Appropriations Committee is expected to consider the Labor, Health and Human Services (LHHS) bill that will provide fiscal year (FY) 2014 funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Although we don’t know when the House Appropriations Committee will vote on NIH funding, the spending limits in the House Budget Resolution could mean another 18 percent cut for biomedical research – below sequestration! NIH needs $32 billion<http://www.faseb.org/Portals/0/PDFs/opa/Federal%20funding%20report.pdf> in FY 2014 to prevent further erosion of the nation’s capacity for biomedical research and provide funding for additional grantees. Please go to http://capwiz.com/faseb/issues/alert/?alertid=62750436 to email your Senators and Representatives today to urge them to support $32 billion for NIH in the FY 2014 LHHS Appropriations bill. When you are done sending your email, forward this alert to your friends and colleagues to make sure that the voice of the biomedical research community is heard across Capitol Hill!

Some of us recently have become aware of new expert avenues. Rather than go into a lengthy description here, for the best information you or your colleagues and institutions should contact Vaughan Caines, MSc, MA in Law. He can be reached at xxxxxx@mac.com. Please pass on this news to others. Vaughan Caines will be more than happy to point you in the right direction.

For us specifically in research administration, Mr. Caines can point us to the same avenues that benefit our work in research administration, leadership, oversight, and development. Let me re-phrase my previous message so that it highlights our specific areas of responsibility. This may help when passing on to others. Thanks!

The limitation is excluding consortium indirect costs, so does anyone know if I will receive an error/warning about exceeding 500k when submitting? Thanks for any advice regarding this.

NIH does a back-end calculation to remove the sub-awardee F&A when making the determination. It's invisible, but it occurs and drives the warning or lack of warning. If you do get a warning (or warnings since there is one warning per year at or over $500,000) it is a sign that the sub-award budgets transmitted incorrectly or what you thought was $499,999 has rounded up to $500,000.

We are especially looking for such examples from hospitals with academic programs and significant University affiliation. We would appreciate any tools, such as diagrams, tables, etc., which illustrate the flow of information, duties and responsibilities from PI's/Department Administrators, to Pre-Award Research Services then to Post Award. Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please message us directly at xxxxxx@cmh.edu<mailto:xxxxxx@cmh.edu> with your suggestions or resources. Thank you much! Andrea Andrea S.
