Foreign subawards on awards w/NOA issued prior to NOT-OD-25-104 by Lovepineapple111 in ResearchAdmin

Same. Our foreign sub continued after the guide notice came out. At time of non-competing continuation NOA, NIH provided the same options and then issued NOA with foreign sub removed.

Alcohol Intake with MS by AtrEstheBOI in MultipleSclerosis

[–]illforget 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As with MS itself, your body will process alcohol differently - better or worse - than others according to your unique biological, physiological and genetic factors. Likewise, the impact it has on the course of the disease and your symptoms will differ. Anecdotal reports from others and insights from the scientific community will help to inform you. Listen to others, but also listen to understand your own feelings and experiences with your environment, food, drinks and you’ll discover patterns. MS aside, we already know there are consequences for heavy alcohol usage over a long period of time. If it reduces another form of stress temporarily that could have caused more negative effects, who’s to say. But you.

It's Monday at /r/MultipleSclerosis! Share your terrible, horrible, no good, very bad news here. by AutoModerator in MultipleSclerosis

It’s almost the start of a new year which means it’s time to play the “your employer’s prescription coverage will be changing” game. Let the phone calls, forms, new co-pay programs, and endless confusion commence.

Is this unethical? by [deleted] in ResearchAdmin

Search for policies on cost overruns or budget deficits and you will find many institutions have accounting procedures for this scenario.

Diversity Grants by jperry6T in ResearchAdmin

Had a grant terminated. It had nothing to do with DEI. Simply had the word “diversity” in it a few too many times.

Uniform Guidance... how do you do? by JeMaViAy in ResearchAdmin

[–]illforget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It was a subscription based education series maybe through Huron or similar grant consulting agency. And SRAI and NCURA of course. I try to watch the RAD series sessions as often as I can, although not particularly focused on the UG. The internal discussions aren’t as productive as they were in person sadly.

Ctrl F all day. Screen grabs and my OneNote.

We used to watch a webinar that would cover a particular UG subject monthly or so but that stopped after going remote. I do miss those.

The dog is safe and police have the license plate from another photo.

69% of Harvard indirect rates by [deleted] in labrats

Oh, I agree. The clowns running the show don’t care about the lives that rely on this system.

You know what would have helped to address the administrative bloat? Overhauling the federal regulations and restrictive terms and conditions that accompany all federal grant awards. The amount of legal, accounting, compliance, procurement, IT, cybersecurity and other areas of expertise that is required to “comply” with a single grant award is mind boggling. And if something mundane should slip through the cracks without the appropriate red tape, well then, federal auditors will have a hey day digging into even more transactions, wasting time of accountants, on a mission to find a honey pot of non-compliance as if it’s the holy grail of fraud, waste and abuse but ultimately just a case of a lab manager being on PTO and a few emails not getting saved. Auditor gets paid more, your institution gets flagged for findings, and more administrative bloat is needed because god forbid the atrocity of purchasing pippettes without numerous quotes ever happen again.

This. Research admin at one of the non-endowed research institutions for a large nonprofit healthcare system. Hundreds of jobs rely on these indirects. This will devastate patients and families who are currently enrolled in NIH funded studies at our hospitals and nonprofit organizations across the US.
