Office for Research & Grant Support
Announcements & News
School of Education students!
The SOE Office for Research and Grant Support will utilize this checklist to review ALL Human Subjects Protocols (HSP) prepared by undergraduate and graduate education students before submission to OIRB. Our aim is to decrease the number of errors made in HSP submitted by education student investigators and expedite the approval process.
The checklist includes helpful links to OIRB guidelines and forms for your use. It is a shared responsibility of the student and faculty mentor to adhere to all federal and university rules to protect human subjects. OIRB will also check records to insure the student and faculty mentor have both completed investigator's training (initial or renewal) within the calendar year.
Researchers Take Note of Grant Submission Deadline
All investigators applying for grants must submit
their draft applications, the Extramural Checklist and CIRB form to the
Office of Grants and Contracts at least 10 business days prior to due date.
The final applications need to be in the office at least three days before
the due date.
NIH Public Access Policy
The recently enacted NIH Public Access Policy requires by law that: a) as of April 7, 2008, "all articles arising from NIH funds must be submitted to PubMed Central upon acceptance for publication"; and b) "[a]s of May 25, 2008, NIH applications, proposals, and progress reports must include the PubMed Central reference number when citing an article that falls under the policy and is authored or co-authored by the investigator, or arose from the investigator's NIH award." Articles derived from NIH-funded research that are accepted for publication after April 7, 2008 will be subject to this policy. The NIH Public Access website (http://publicaccess.nih.gov/index.htm) states that compliance is soon to be a condition of award.
UAB establishes new Center for Urban Education
A new UAB Center for Urban Education will coordinate ongoing teaching, research and service programs that promote quality education for children in poor, urban school districts.
The new center, housed in the UAB School of Education, was approved by the University of Alabama Board of Trustees during its Feb. 8 meeting.
Deborah Voltz, Ed .D., who currently directs the school’s Urban Education Project, will lead the center that will link faculty from the schools of Education, Natural Sciences & Mathematics and Social & Behavioral Sciences and other UAB centers and departments.
The new center will promote the recruitment, development and retention of leaders for urban school environments and offer education courses centered on issues of race, class and culture. Faculty in the center also will research new ways to enhance the educational achievement of students in urban schools.

Office of Grants and Contracts Administration OGCA General FAQ
Workshop on Using Grants.gov Click here for presentation.
There are 26 Federal grant-making agencies and over 900 individual grant programs that award over $400 billion in grants each year. The grant community need only visit one website, Grants.gov, to access the annual grant funds available across the Federal government.
The migration from paper to electronic submission via Grants.gov will take place over the next 18 months. Each Federal agency will determine their time line and guidelines for moving from a paper submission process to the Grants.gov submission process. Submission of NIH R21 applications are scheduled for June 1, 2006, and R01 applications are scheduled for October 1, 2006. (See link below for the full NIH migration to Grants.gov schedule.)
Each agency will announce their specific guidelines for distribution to the extramural community on their websites, via email, via web broadcasts, in specific agency publications (e.g., the NIH Guide) or in application guidelines for specific RFP's and RFA's.
The Grants.gov submission process will apply only to new applications identified by the funding agency as eligible for Grants.gov submission and will not be used for non-competing continuation reports on existing multi-year Federal awards. For NIH awardees, the majority of non-competing continuation reports may now be submitted through the eRA COMMONS website, not Grants.gov.
All applications submitted via Grants.gov will use the SF424RR application package. Agency-specific forms (e.g., PHS 398) will no longer be used. During the transition, applications submitted in hard copy will continue to use the agency-specific forms while electronic submissions via Grants.gov will all be submitted on the SF424RR forms.
Submission of Grants for OGCA Review Grant proposals requesting funding from external sponsors should be submitted to OGCA seven to ten (7-10) business days before the deadline for submitted to the sponsor. This deadline applies only to grant proposals and grant progress reports, not contracts or any other documents processed by OGCA. The following documents are required by OGCA:
