Changes for Research with Human Subjects
There are new requirements for researchers doing work with human subjects. NIH is requiring demonstration of the completion of an education program for all participants in human subjects research. We are working on ways to fulfill this requirement. More information can be found in IU Important Notice 00-5. The policy applies to all key personnel (investigators involved in the design or conduct of research involving human subjects).  The text of the education policy can be found at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-00-039.html  To help explain this policy, the NIH has issued a page of Frequently Asked Questions for the Requirement for Education on the Protection of Human Subjects.  The URL for the FAQs is: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/hs_educ_faq.htm

Recent Funding Opportunities

This is a very short, unrepresentative list of funding opportunities. It only reflects those hard copy RFPs that have been received by my office in the last month or so. A more comprehensive list of current funding opportunities can be found on the IU Granstlink. You can also search for funding opportunities using keywords from COS.

10/18/00	NSF - CISE RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM The CISE (Computer and Information Science and Engineering) Research Infrastructure Program provides support to aid in the establishment, enhancement, and operation of major experimental facilities planned to support all of the research areas in the CISE Directorate. It may also assist activities for integration of research and education. The Research Infrastructure Program recognizes the emergence of research groups requiring strengthening of experimental facilities in a variety of environments - those solely within a single academic department, those drawing from several departments in a single institution, and those spanning several different institutions.	http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2000/nsf005/nsf005.htm

NIH Human Subjects Policy
As many of you know, June 5, 2000 the NIH issued a new policy that beginning on October 1, 2000 the NIH will require education on the protection of human
research participants for all investigators submitting NIH applications for grants or proposals for contracts or receiving new or non-competing awards for research involving human subjects.  The policy applies to all applications that will be funded in FY 2001 or later.

The policy applies to all key personnel (investigators involved in the design or conduct of research involving human subjects).  The text of the
education policy can be found at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-00-039.html

To help explain this policy, the NIH has issued a page of Frequently Asked Questions for the Requirement for Education on the Protection of Human
Subjects.  The URL for the FAQs is: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/hs_educ_faq.htm
