The Undergraduate Research Selection Committee of JMU wishes to express its sincere appreciation to all the students who submitted applications for the 2007 CAA Undergraduate Research Conference. Registration at UNC-Wilmington is expected to begin in mid-January, 2007. (Questions: contact 8-6872) http://www.jmu.edu/sponsprog/UndergradResearch.htm
NCUR 2007 (official website: http://www.ncur.org/)
CAA 2007 (official website: http://www.colonialacademicalliance.org/)
JMU is expecting to receive the next MasterCard (Small Purchase Credit Card) expenditure file on December 19th or 20th. Since the holiday break would cause a significantly tight window to process this file during December, the University is extending the reconciliation deadline into January 2007. The result of this extension will mean that PCard expenses since your November statement will not show on PeopleSoft reports until sometime in January.
This will cause several issues to keep in mind:
- Departments will need to remember these outstanding charges when calculating the remaining balance in their award budget using the December reports.
- If your award is expiring in December 2006 and you have outstanding expenses in the PCard file that will post in January, you should notify Grants and Contracts Financial Service to insure these expenses are billed on the final reimbursement request to the sponsor.
- January PCard expenses will also post in January, according to the existing procedures, and could result in confusion when reconciling the January financial reports in February.
- The December voucher will post with “JMU” as the vendor instead of “MasterCard”. This is due to the accounting entries that must occur related to this extension.
As always, if you have questions now or when you are reviewing December or January Financial Reports, please contact Grants and Contracts Financial Services ( www.jmu.edu/acadaffairs/grant.shtml).
Beginning with research grant applications submitted for February 2007 receipt dates, the NIH will allow applicants and their institutions to identify more than one Principal Investigator (PI). The NIH expects the availability of the Multiple PI option to encourage interdisciplinary and other team approaches to biomedical research. The Multiple PI option will be extended to most research grant applications submitted electronically through Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov/) using the SF424 R&R application package. Grant applications that will accommodate more than one PI beginning in February include: R01, R03, R13/U13, R15, R18/U18, R21, R21/R33, R25, R33, R34, R41, R42, R43, R44, and C06/UC6.
The decision to apply for a single PI or a multiple PI grant will be the responsibility of the investigators and the applicant organization. Those decisions should be consistent with and justified by the scientific goals of the project. Applications that involve more than one PI must include a Leadership Plan that describes the roles, the responsibilities, and the working relationship of the identified PIs.

NIH Confirms Plans for R01 Febuary 5 Submission Via Grants.gov (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-07-020.html)
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) confirmed today that it plans to move forward with the R01 transition to electronic submission of grant applications using the SF424 (R&R) forms for the February 5, 2007 receipt date and beyond. Note that new standard receipt dates take effect in January 2007 (see NOT-OD-07-001). The electronic submission timeline has been updated to reflect the new receipt dates.
All R01 applications in response to the February 5, 2007 receipt date or beyond will require electronic submission.
