MPRC researchers must complete several important "tasks" while writing and submitting a grant through the Center. In order to better support our researchers, MPRC has divided these tasks into two main categories -- BEFORE submitting a grant and AFTER submitting a grant. Click on the items listed in each category below to find out what MPRC has on file for you, what you need to do and how to get it done.
Attend the Research Development Workshops MPRC has dedicated a large amount of financial resources and energy to helping our younger faculty develop research programs and compete successfully for external funding, especially at Eunice Kennedy Shriver NICHD. We have targeted the R03 mechanism because most of our faculty had never applied to NIH for funding and many had projects well suited to this mechanism. Our method of aiding faculty is organized, systematic, and rigorous. The workshop meets every week and typically has four or five young scholars working on new projects. Participating scholars have access to a secure online file sharing and discussion forum that can be used to collaborate on proposal drafts and more. Please note: these workshop are ONLY available to registered MPRC Faculty Associates and Affiliates. Please check here often for the most current workshop schedule. Biosketches are needed for all grant proposals to NIH. For most MPRC researchers, the Center has your most recent NIH biosketch on file. To access this latest version, visit the Faculty Area of the website and input your UMD Directory ID and Password. Click on the appropriate link to find your name and to download the biosketch we have on file for you. You may update your Biosketch directly in this document and then forward it to William Fennie for filing and posting. Please remember that a biosketch is needed for each researcher listed on your proposal. Each biosketch should NOT EXCEED four pages and should be typed in size 11 Arial font. Be sure to follow the additional instructions included on the Biosketch Template pages. If you do not have a biosketch or can not access your biosketch, please use the sample and templates below to complete this task: Update Your List of Other Support The Other Support Document is needed for when the grant is to be awarded so that Center Administrative Staff can fill out the Just In Time information for your grant award. If your research project uses human subjects, you MUST get approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) The IRB is a committee within a university or other organization receiving federal funds to conduct research that reviews research proposals using human subjects. The IRB reviews and approves an IRB application proposal before funding can be accepted by the university. The IRB has the authority to approve, disapprove, or require modifications of the research plan to ensure that the research follows the ethical principles and federal regulations for the protection of human subjects. Use the appropriate form below to complete this task: For help with writing a new IRB application or completing the renewal application, please contact Barbara Hillinger. She will walk you through the process to ensure the forms are filled out correctly. National Institutes of Health PubMed Central Publishing Requirement Beginning in April 2008 NIH requires that a copy of any peer-reviewed article based on research funded by NIH must be filed with the PubMed Central electronic database. MPRC will make arrangements to file your papers with PubMed Central. Contact William Fennie for more information. |
