Yes.

If the application is a Renewal Application, all applicants must provide a progress report. The Progress Report Publication Lists should be included in the Research Core component of the application. If the Progress Report Publication Lists are included in the Overall component rather than in the Research Core component, the applicant should note it in the application.
 

No, resubmissions are not allowed. However, you may submit a New Application that does not refer to the previous application or review of the previous application.

Multiple PIs are allowed with strong justification.

Yes, for applications with receipt dates on or after January 25, 2023, research centers are required to comply with the DMS Policy and are required to submit a DMS Plan.  For more information, please refer to the Multi-Project (M) Instructions in the SF424 (R&R) Application Guide and the NIH Scientific Data Sharing website. 

This funding opportunity is not intended for acquisition of high-cost equipment. Equipment purchases by any Resource Core in excess of $25,000 for any year of the grant would require special justification. Under unusual circumstances, where costly items of equipment are requested, the application must document available equipment within the institution and provide clear justification in terms of core service to be provided by the Center. Costly items of equipment should be funded through other sources.” Any equipment must be included in the budget cap.

It is expected that the Resource Cores will receive some reimbursement in the form of user fees [charged to the funds of the users] that will offset some of the Core costs specific for a project using the Core.” The Administrative Core component should “Describe how the Resource Core(s) will set user fees, taking into account applicable Federal cost principles as discussed in NOT-OD-13-053.

Yes.

Not necessarily. However, the proposed Center should be serving a research community that will use Center resources for research within the NIAMS mission.

NIAMS would prefer separate applications for each of these research areas. 

Yes. 

• If no work is done in the Core that goes beyond approved protocols of other projects in the research community OR there is no human or animal activity involved, answer NO to human and animal involvement.
• If a Core involves stand-alone human and/or animal activity you must answer YES to human and/or animal involvement and the required sections must be completed.

No, descriptions of projects or individuals named for support should NOT be included in the application. However, plans for soliciting, reviewing, selecting, managing and reporting on the results of projects during the tenure of the Center, should be included in the application.

No. Describe the expected composition of the Advisory Committee (number of members, types of expertise, etc.), but do NOT name the members of the committee who are not from the Center Institution in the application so as not to limit the pool of potential reviewers.

Only one application per institution per RFA is allowed.

It is required for both new and renewal applications.

No, the applicant should describe steps that will occur over the course of the award that will increase the likelihood that the center can be sustained in some form at the conclusion of NIAMS support.

According to the NIH early stage investigator (ESI) policy, if the lead of a project or core in a multi-component application is a new investigator, but not the PI/PD for the overall application, the individual will retain ESI status when the award is made.

Yes, foreign components are allowed as part of the P30, however, the need for the foreign component would need to be well justified.
