发帖数: 1269 | 1 Information for the NIH Extramural Grantee Community During the Lapse of
Federal Government Funding
________________________________________
Notice Number: NOT-OD-13-126
Release Date: October 1, 2013
Issued by
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Purpose
The Government Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 ended on September 30, 2013 at midnight
EST and an Appropriation Act for FY2014 has not been passed leading to a
lapse in Federal funding. We are providing the following information to
answer questions you may have on the impact this lapse in appropriation will
have on your grant/cooperative agreement or the availability of NIH’s
systems and services.
RESUMING OPERATIONS
You are encouraged to stay tuned to the national media to determine when the
Federal Government will resume operations. Depending on the length of the
funding lapse, once NIH non-excepted staff are authorized to resume
operations it will take time for full operations to be resumed. Depending on
the length of the funding lapse, the eRA system may require at least one
business day after operations resume. We ask for patience when trying to
contact NIH staff once operations resume since there will be a backlog of
information to process.
CONTACT WITH NIH STAFF
E-mail, Phone, Fax, and Postal Mail Contacts: For the duration of the
funding lapse, NIH extramural employees will be prohibited from working (
remotely or in the office). Consequently, there will be no access to voice
mail, e-mail, fax, or postal mail during this period. Mail requiring someone
to sign/accept may not be received. All other postal mail, fax, and voice
mail communications will not be acted upon until after operations resume. It
is recommended that you delay sending such communications until after
operations resume.
Help Desk Support: For the duration of the funding lapse, all help desks,
central e-mail boxes, and web ticketing systems for questions related to NIH
grants policy and electronic grants systems will not be available,
including the eRA Helpdesk and Grants Information Services.
In the event of an emergency involving human safety, please contact Dr.
Sally Rockey at r******[email protected].
SUBMISSION OF GRANT APPLICATIONS
For the duration of the funding lapse, applicants are strongly encouraged
not to submit paper or electronic grant applications to NIH during the
period of the lapse. Adjustments to application submission dates that occur
during the funding lapse will be announced once operations resume. For any
applications submitted immediately prior to or during the funding lapse,
here is what will happen.
1. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov: Grants.gov will be open
and can accept electronic applications. However, applications will not be
processed by NIH until the eRA Systems are back on-line. NIH will ensure
that all applications submitted within the two business days before or
during the funding lapse will receive the full viewing window once the
systems are back on-line.
2. For electronic submission of multi-project applications through NIH’s
ASSIST system: The ASISST system will not be available until NIH systems
are back on-line.
3. Paper Submissions: Staff will not be available to receive paper
applications during a funding lapse.
The safest course is to wait to submit any application to NIH until after
operations resume and a Notice in the NIH Guide concerning adjusted
submission dates is posted.
PEER REVIEW AND COUNCIL MEETINGS
Initial Peer Review Meetings: For the duration of the funding lapse, the NIH
will not be able to conduct initial peer review meetings – whether in-
person or through teleconferences or other electronic media. Also during
this time, the NIH staff will not be able to send or receive email messages,
or update website information, and NIH computer systems that support review
functions will not be operational. When operations resume, those meetings
will be re-scheduled and the pending applications will be processed and
reviewed as soon as possible.
Also, the results, including final impact scores and summary statements, of
some peer review meetings that took place prior to the orderly shutdown of
operations may not be available until operations resume. Therefore,
applicants with applications going through the peer review process should
stay tuned to the national news to determine when operations of the
government resume, and then check the NIH website for information on any
review meetings that may have been extended or re-scheduled. The results of
meetings held prior to a potential funding lapse will be released as soon as
possible after resumption of operations.
Individuals who had agreed to serve on NIH review panels (”study sections”
) that were scheduled to meet during the funding lapse will not be able to
access the Internet Assisted Review (IAR) site or other NIH web-based
systems during that time. Reviewers who were scheduled to travel for a
review meeting on a day when operations are down will not be able to board a
plane or train, and will be sent instructions on how to handle their
reservations. Reviewers who are attending an NIH review panel on the day of
orderly shutdown will be able to change their travel plans and return home.
Therefore, peer reviewers should stay tuned to the national news to
determine when operations of the NIH will resume, and then check the NIH
website for information on meetings that have been re-scheduled. As soon as
possible after operations resume, the NIH Scientific Review Officer in
charge of the review meeting will contact those reviewers with more detailed
information.
Advisory Council Review: The NIH will not be able to conduct Advisory
Council review meetings – whether in-person or through teleconferences or
other electronic media - during the funding lapse. Also during this time,
the NIH staff will not be able to send or receive email messages, or update
website information, and NIH computer systems that support review functions
will not be operational. Therefore, no applications will be processed for
Council review or be taken to Council meetings during that time. When
operations resume, those pending applications will be processed, and
meetings will be re-scheduled as soon as possible.
Applicants with applications pending Council review during that time should
check the NIH website for information after operations resume. Advisory
Council members should stay tuned to the national news to determine when
operations of the government will resume, and then check the NIH website for
information on Council meetings that have been re-scheduled. As soon as
possible after operations resume, the NIH Executive Secretary in charge of
the Council meeting will contact those Council members with more detailed
information.
AWARDED GRANTS
Currently Active Grant Awards: For the duration of the funding lapse, all
work and activities performed under currently active NIH grant awards may
continue. However, see below for limits on performing many of the reporting
requirements associated with NIH grant funding.
Progress Reports:
1. Electronically Submitted Progress Reports: For any progress reports
due during the funding lapse, the eRA Commons will not be accessible. Users
will need to wait until the eRA Commons is back on-line before these
progress reports can be submitted.
2. Paper Submitted Progress Reports: No NIH staff will be available to
receive paper progress reports. Therefore, institutions are encouraged to
delay mailing all paper progress reports due during the funding lapse until
after operations resume.
Notice of Awards (NoAs): No NIH grant awards will be processed for the
duration of the funding lapse. For any awards processed before the funding
lapse that have an issue date during the funding lapse, the awards will not
be sent to the grantee on the issue date. Once operations resume, all
pending NoAs will be sent. This will not affect the start date nor the issue
date of these awards; it just affects the date the award document is
actually sent to the grantee and available for access in the eRA Commons. In
the absence of actually receiving the NoA, institutions may use pre-award
costs authority at their own risk.
No-cost Extension Notifications: The eRA Commons will not be accessible
during the funding lapse. Further, no-cost extension notification cannot be
submitted via the Commons once the expiration date of the grant has passed.
For any grants due to expire during the funding lapse that plans to be given
a no-cost extension, a paper notification to the IC will be required after
operations resume.
General Access to eRA Commons and Other OER-Supported Systems: The eRA
Commons will not be accessible during the funding lapse. Therefore, no user
will be able to access the Commons for viewing electronically submitted
applications, accessing Internet Assisted Review, or processing such actions
as Commons Registration, FSRs/FFRs, xTrain documents, Closeout documents,
and/or FCOI notifications etc. Further there will be no ability to access
Commons for query or other purposes. There also will be no access to the
Interagency Edison or Electronic Council Books systems.
Prior Approval Requests and Other Communications: NIH extramural employees
will have no access to voice mail, e-mail, fax, or postal mail during the
funding lapse. All prior approval requests and other communications will not
be received until operations resume. It is recommended that you delay
sending such communications until after operations resume.
Access to HHS Payment Management System (PMS): For the duration of the
funding lapse, the HHS PMS will be open; however, no Federal staff will be
available to assist or process any requests. Therefore, drawdowns (payments)
on accounts can be processed as long as no Federal staff action is required
to finalize the payment. For most NIH grantees, this means drawdowns should
be possible. However, if a particular grant is on a reimbursement basis for
withdrawing funds or otherwise restricted, then these requests cannot not
be processed until after Federal Government operations resume.
ANIMAL WELFARE
The Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW) business processes are funded
by annual appropriations and are not designated as excepted activities
under the Antideficiency Act. No activities associated with the OLAW mission
will continue for the duration of the funding lapse.
For the duration of the funding lapse, PHS-funded institutions are
encouraged to delay sending all Assurance documents, preliminary or final
reports of noncompliance or IACUC suspensions as required under the Public
Health Service Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals IV.F.3,
or other correspondence due to OLAW during the funding hiatus period until
after operations resume. OLAW will extend deadlines for all reporting
activities as necessary to compensate for the period of the lapse in funding
and the unavailability of the website and OLAW operational support.
Institutions are reminded that their obligation under their Animal Welfare
Assurance to ensure ongoing local support and oversight, and to address and
correct all situations that affect animal welfare and compliance with the
PHS Policy continues during this period. | l********n

发帖数: 334 | 9 多谢楼上两位解答。我本来12号的deadline，已经订好票15号晚回国休假了。真希望能
NIH能早点恢复上班。 | s******y
发帖数: 28562 | 10 对这个我也是一头雾水。本来前一个星期是说不可以晚交的，结果我们系一堆人在疯狂
赶工。然后突然又说让大家交到grants.gov，然后小密们就疯狂研究如何才能安全的把
申请交上去。后来又突然改口说这个shut down 不知道什么时候才能结束，所以如果大
家不放心的话可以先把申请都弄好交给学校，然后学校就静侯通知。
这个是我们学校的说法：
NIH Sponsored Projects: We encourage faculty to complete their
applications and submitted fully built applications in grants.gov at least
two business days before any deadline. However, NIH has issued written
guidance strongly discouraging applications from being submitted to NIH. As
such, the University will hold these NIH applications and will submit once
we receive further guidance from the agency. The most recent NIH guidance
can be found at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-13-126.html.

校的处理（反正本来就是他们处理的，又不是我们自己亲自交）
