Vice President's Message
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
There was good news and bad news for science researchers
in the President's State of the Union address. On the plus side,
the Advanced Competitiveness Initiative announced a "strong commitment
to double over 10 years investment in key Federal agencies that support
basic research programs in the physical sciences and engineering - the National
Science Foundation (NSF), the Department of Energy's Office of Science (DoE
SC), and the Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST)." This appears
to be good news for NSF, in the context of the agency's increase
in the current year, which was too small to offset non-R&D costs, reducing
real R&D funding for the third successive year, as well as the basic
science portion of DOE, which has also faced fiscal severities
that our BNL colleagues experienced directly last year. However,
one must ask whether a President in his sixth year of office, with the lowest
public approval ratings he has yet experienced, has the desire, the will
and the capacity to make the kind of start toward this laudable goal during
his few remaining years in office that would impel his successor(s) to complete.
The bad news, of course, is for the agencies not identified as
critical resources for economic competitiveness (by what calculus?) In the
current year, the NIH budget remained flat, a de facto decrease for the
first time since 1970, and the absolute aggregate dollar amount of NIH funds
coming to all New York institutions dropped as well. Science at NASA, another
significant supporter of physical sciences and engineering research and
of our campus research enterprise, is being starved to pay for the development
of new vehicles for human space flight. DOD, also a Stony Brook
funder, would be one of the budget winners on the weapons side and one of
the losers on the science and technology side. Overall, according to a preliminary
analysis of the President's proposed FY2007 budget by the AAAS,
the federal basic and applied research investment (excluding the "D" portion
of "R&D")
would decline 3.4%, to $54.7 billion, as the proposed physical
sciences and related increases would be more than offset by cuts
at the other agencies. This would be the third year of decline
in a row after the peak of the 2004 fiscal year.
These conditions make even more important the efforts we are all making
to collaborate on multi-disciplinary, multi-investigator opportunities.
Please look here for a list of the current working groups and contact information
for Associate Vice President for Research Martin Schoonen if you have an
idea for a new initiative to start. If you are new to the enterprise, please
come to the "Getting Your Proposal Out the Door" workshop so that
you can get the essential logistical aspects of your submission under control
and concentrate on the substance!

PHENIX Experiment at RHIC Publishes Three Papers in a Single Edition of Physical
Review Letters
In a rare feat the Phenix Experiment at Brookhaven National
Lab's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) published three
papers in the January 26 online edition of Physical Review Letters,
one of the most prestigious journals in the physics field. The
first paper derives the rate at which charm-quarks were produced
during proton-proton collisions at RHIC. This information will be invaluable
for assisting the development of theoretical models of charm-quark
production in proton-proton collisions as well as serving as
a baseline for seeking new phenomena in gold-gold collisions.
The second paper used key measurements of electrons to determine
the rates of charm- and bottom-quark production in gold-gold collisions--allowing
scientists to conclude that these quarks under go much larger
energy losses than predicted. The paper is critical because it
challenges RHIC scientists' current understanding of gold-gold collisions.
The third paper analyzes how certain particles move and interact as they
fly away from the collision center and describes this movement in relation
to ideas of "flow" that
describe the fluid properties of matter created during the collisions.
Stony Brook Professors Nuggehalli Ajitanand, Chemistry, John
Alexander, Chemistry, Axel Drees, Physics and Astronomy, Thomas
Hemmick, Physics and Astronomy, Barbara Jacak, Physics and Astronomy,
Roy Lacey, Chemistry and Michael Marx, Physics and Astronomy,
were among the over 300 co-authors of the papers.
Medicine/Pharmacology
The 13th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, reported
in the February 17 issue of Science, included a recent advance on HIA/AIDS
with two important connections to Stony Brook. The most encouraging news
at the meeting was reported to involve clinical trial results of a novel
compound developed by Merck, MK-0518, that suggested its potential to
be the first in a new class of integrase inhibiting anti-retroviral drugs
that may block HIV replication by preventing the viral enzyme integrase
from inserting HIV DNA into the human genome. Stony Brook Ph.D. Daria
Hazuda (Pharmacological Sciences), Vice President of Virus and Cell Biology
at Merck Research Laboratories, is the lead scientist for this drug development
project and was first author of the papers in Science (e.g., 2004, 2000)
describing the discovery and development of this class of drugs. Prof.
Roy Steigbigel indicates that the University's HIV Treatment Development
Center, where he is director, entered the first patient, and had the largest
number of patients in the U.S., in the initial clinical study of MK-0518,
and continues to study it as salvage therapy for patients whose virus
is resistant to all currently available medications. The Science report
noted a trial in which 80% of the participants, infected with multi-drug
resistant HIV, showed a 99% drop in the replication of the virus.
Recent Results
Chemistry, Applied Mathematics and Statistics and the Center
for Structural Biology
A team led by Carlos Simmerling of the
Chemistry Department and also including Viktor Hornak, Center for
Structural Biology, Asim Okur, Chemistry, and Robert C. Rizzo,
Applied Mathematics and Statistics, have just published 2 articles
that provide important new insight into HIV-1 protease, a key AIDS
drug target. Existing studies had been unable to show how the protease
opens, an event required for reproduction of the virus. To overcome
this problem, the team used atomic-detail computer simulation methods
developed in the Simmerling lab. The first article, "HIV-1
protease flaps spontaneously open and reclose in molecular dynamics
simulations," was
published in the January 24 issue of the Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS - January 24, 2006, vol.
103, no. 4, 915-920). This reported for the first time how the
protease opens and closes, providing the information needed to
develop new drugs that interfere with this motion. A second article, "HIV-1
Protease Flaps Spontaneously Close to the Correct Structure in
Simulations Following Manual Placement of an Inhibitor into the
Open State" (Journal of the
American Chemical Society - February 14, 2006, vol. 128, 2812-2813)
showed how the protease closes around a drug that enters the active
site, blocking function of the protease. In addition to the new
AIDS insight, these studies represent a tremendous advance in the
application of computer simulations to complex biological phenomena.
Even more exciting work by the group is underway and further results
will be posted here as they come in.

NIH Pathway to Independence (PI) Award
The NIH Pathway to Independence Award is an innovative, new program that
will provide an opportunity for promising postdoctoral scientists to
receive both mentored and independent research support from the same award.
NIH plans to issue between 150 and 200 awards for this program in the first
year, and for the each of the next five years, amounting to approximately
$390 million. The actual number and distribution of awards made by the NIH
Institutes and Centers will depend upon the quality of the applications
received and the results of the scientific peer review process.
The Pathway to Independence Award will provide up to five years of support
consisting of two phases. The initial phase will provide 1-2 years of mentored
support for highly promising, postdoctoral research scientists. This phase
will be followed by up to 3 years of independent support contingent on securing
an independent research position. Award recipients will be expected to compete
successfully for independent R01 support from the NIH during the career
transition award period. The PI Award is limited to postdoctoral trainees
who propose research relevant to the mission of one or more of the participating
NIH Institutes and Centers.
The subsequent application for the independent phase may be submitted on
behalf of the awardee (principal investigator) by any domestic for-profit
or non-profit institution/organization such as universities, colleges, hospitals
and laboratories at which the awardee has been recruited. Agencies of the
Federal government (including NIH intramural laboratories) and foreign institutions
are not eligible to apply for the independent phase of the PI award.
Eligible Principal Investigators include outstanding postdoctoral candidates
who have terminal clinical or research doctorates (including Ph.D., M.D.,
D.O., D.C., N.D., D.D.S., D.V.M., Sc.D., D.N.S. or equivalent doctoral degrees)
who have no more than 5 years of postdoctoral research training at the time
of initial application or resubmission(s).

Change in Funding Opportunity Announcements
That Use R03, R21, R33, and R34 Grant Mechanisms: Transition to Electronic
Submission Using SF424 (R&R) Grant Application Package
The NIH, CDC and AHRQ have issued a Notice, NOT-OD-06-046,
to announce the following changes regarding funding opportunity
announcements (FOA's) that utilize the Small Research Grant (R03), Exploratory/Developmental
Research Grant (R21), the Phased Innovation Award (R21/R33), and
the NIH Clinical Trial Planning Grant (R34) mechanisms.
Effective June 1, 2006, R03 and
R21 paper applications will no longer be accepted by the NIH,
AHRQ or CDC. See http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-05-067.html
The
agencies are transitioning to electronic submission on the SF424
Research and Research Related (R&R) application form through Grants.gov
by mechanism, which requires that we expire and/or issue separate
FOAs for each mechanism to accommodate the new process. The use of “parent” FOAs
will provide a means for standardizing the R03 and R21 application
characteristics, requirements, preparation, and review procedures.
These parent announcements accommodate investigator-initiated (unsolicited)
applications and allow Institutes/Centers (ICs)/Agencies to describe
how they use each mechanism and highlight their specific areas
of scientific interest within a single FOA. Note, currently, there
is not a Parent R34 FOA; each IC plans to issue separate R34
announcements.
The FOAs identified
are grouped in three categories according to the current plan of
action. Any changes from the current plan will be reflected on individual
FOAs.
1. Those that expired effective March 2, 2006.
2. Those for which the Parent
R03 and Parent
R21 FOA's now include the scientific opportunities from
currently published FOAs. Note: There will not be a Parent R34. Each
IC will issue separate R34 announcements.
3. Those reissued on or after March 2, 2006.
Where noted, R01 and other mechanisms that have not transitioned
to electronic grant submission will continue to be accepted by
the NIH in response to the FOA's shown in the Notice, but applicants
MUST use the PHS 398 application in paper format until the mechanism
transitions to the SF424 (R&R) electronic format. See:
http://era.nih.gov/ElectronicReceipt/files/timeline_adjustments_to_r01.htm
Specifically,
R01 applications must be submitted electronically
effective February 1, 2007 for new applications and March 1, 2007 for
resubmission, competing renewal, and supplemental applications. The current schedule and other
important information related to NIH’s transition from the PHS398 paper
application to the SF424 (R&R) electronic application is available at:
http://era.nih.gov/ElectronicReceipt/
See http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-06-046.html
for
the full text of the Notice.
Over time, NIH will transition all funding mechanisms to
the SF424 (R&R) form and electronic submission through Grants.gov. For
now we are seeking to bring individual mechanisms into this new unified process
in a measured way to ensure that the NIH can accept the applications without
difficulty and that institutions/organizations have time to experience the
new electronic ways of doing business.

NIH and Grants.gov: Registration
While Principal Investigators (PIs)
do not have to register with Grants.gov – that registration
is institutional – the
individual designated as the PI on the application must be registered
in the eRA Commons. The registration process can take several weeks,
especially when close to submission dates when registration volume
peaks. NIH recommends starting four weeks ahead of your target
submission date. PI registration must be done by an Office of Sponsored
Programs official at Stony Brook who is already registered in the eRA
Commons.
Each funding opportunity announcement (program announcement/request
for application (PA/RFA)) includes an application package with an application
guide (sample guide). This document is critical to submitting a complete
and accurate application to NIH. There are fields within the SF424 (R&R)
components that are not marked as mandatory on the federal-wide form
but that are required by NIH (e.g., the Credential field of the R&R
Senior/Key Person Profile component must contain the PI's assigned eRA
Commons User ID). Agency-specific instructions for such fields are clearly
identified in the application guide. The funding opportunity announcement
to which you are applying also may include guidance on application submission.
Taking advantage of these resources will save you time in the long run
by avoiding the need to correct errors and resubmit your application.

Grants.gov for Mac OS X
Grants.gov is the new unified clearinghouse for all
federal grant opportunities from all federal agencies that manage grant
funds. Grants.gov currently uses a Windows-only solution for electronic
grant submission. The PureEdge viewer is required to complete grant
application packages and, at this time, there is no native Macintosh
PureEdge client. IBM has acquired PureEdge, and now calls the product
IBM Workplace Forms; IBM plans to add Mac support in the future and Grants.gov
has committed to providing a cross-platform solution by November 2006.
In the interim, Grants.gov, in conjunction with NIH, has created a Citrix
server solution that allows Mac OS X users to complete their application
packages and submit them electronically using Mac OS X.
The University
of Wisconsin has created a single preconfigured package for Mac OS
X users to access this solution. This package is provided to the community
as a service by the University of Wisconsin, and is not an official
product of Grants.gov. The University of Wisconsin cannot provide support
for this solution.

Establishment of Multiple Principal Investigator Awards for the Support
of Team Science Projects at NIH
In 2006 the National Institutes of Health
(NIH) will begin to implement a Federal-wide policy to allow formally
more than one Principal Investigator (PI) on individual research awards.
This presents a new and important opportunity for investigators seeking
support for projects or activities that clearly require a “team
science” approaches and which
do not fit the single-PI model. The multiple-PI model is intended to
supplement, and not to replace, the traditional single PI model. The
overarching goal is to encourage collaboration among equals when that
is the most appropriate way to address a scientific problem. Although
the number of applications submitted with more than one PI is expected
to be relatively small compared with those that continue to use the
traditional single-PI format, we know that the impact on multidisciplinary
efforts may be great.
The NIH will make the multiple-PI
option available for applications submitted in response to a selected
group of Requests for Applications (RFAs) and Program Announcements
(PAs) with May-June 2006 receipt dates. It
is likely that additional initiatives will be selected to pilot this
activity for receipt dates in the October time frame. Based on
experience from these pilot initiatives, it is expected that the multiple-PI
option will become available for most investigator-initiated research
grant mechanisms submitted for January 2007 and later application receipt
dates. The NIH will announce those specific RFAs and PA selected to
pilot the multi-PI option as well as future plans for expansion to
other mechanisms in the NIH Guide to Grants and Contracts at
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/index.html#search.
A Multiple Principal Investigator website (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/multi_pi/)
has been created to provide general information on the new policy. This
includes: background and features of the multiple-PI policy; major issues
to be considered in its implementation; PI roles and responsibilities;
distribution of credit; allocation of funds; and awards to more than
one institution. Much of this information is located in the “Frequently
Asked Questions” (FAQ) section of the web site. Many of the
questions listed in the FAQ section are based on communications received
in response to Requests for Information (RFI) published by the NIH and
by the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Executive Office of the
President. Results from these RFIs are also available at the Multiple
Principal Investigator web site. There has been additional outreach
to the scientific community through a recently published article in “NIH
Extramural Nexus,” (http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/nexus.htm) the
NIH’s bimonthly extramural update that is available free to all
who request it.
Many procedures for implementation of the policy
to recognize formally multiple PIs on individual research awards
are still in the planning stages, and the NIH looks forward to continued
input from the scientific community. All potential applicants are
encouraged to access the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts for official
notice(s).
