The National Institutes of Health (NIH) R15 program is aimed at enhancing research capacity at institutions that traditionally receive limited NIH support. These grants not only provide critical funding for impactful research but also create opportunities for students to engage in meaningful biomedical research activities. By doing so, they contribute to the growth of research infrastructure and talent at participating institutions.
To help researchers and institutions navigate the R15 application process, NIH is hosting a complementary webinar on January 30, 2025. This session will cover:
Participants will also have the chance to engage in a live Q&A session with a panel of NIH experts.
The University will be closed for holiday break from December 23rd through January 5th.
We will reopen Monday, January 6th.
Important Note:
Proposals with deadlines during this closure or on January 6th, 7th, or 8th must be submitted to ORA no later than the morning of Wednesday, December 18th. Please reach out to your Research Administration Specialist for assistance.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Policy Office recently hosted the “Revision of the NSF Award Conditions to Implement the Revised 2 CFR” webinar on September 12, 2024.
The webinar covered important updates to Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations (2 CFR), impacting both grant proposers and awardees. These changes will take effect on October 1, 2024. The recorded webinar is available for on-demand viewing.
Federal agencies have substantially increased their scrutiny of compliance with administrative expectations. Management of these changes falls on universities and principal investigators.
To allow for proper review and addressing of any issues, proposals should be submitted to ORA three business days before the due date, per policy. This lead time will provide feedback and a buffer in case of unexpected problems, such as network issues, during the final submission.
Submitting proposals very close to the deadline increases the risk that they may not reach the sponsors on time or may be disqualified due to incomplete or inaccurate information.
Insufficient time for internal administrative review of disclosure information can expose the PI, key/senior personnel, and the University to serious compliance risks.
It’s time to start the NSF Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) internal process. This is the initial call for mini proposals to determine which PI’s will submit full proposals.
DEADLINES
August 5 – Mini proposals are due. Limit 3 pages. Submit mini proposals to researchadministration@missouristate.edu
These proposals must clearly describe the instrumentation being proposed, the PI’s and co-PIs involved, a cost estimate for the instrument and a cost estimate for installation and annual upkeep for the instrument. If there are room renovations required for the instrument those need to be disclosed in this proposal. The PI must also indicate where the instrument will reside.
August 6 – The ORA will distribute the proposals to the Deans. Deans will choose the top two by August 13th.
August 14th – ORA will notify all who submitted mini proposals of the final decision.
The NSF full proposal submission deadline window is October 15, 2024, through November 15, 2024. The final deadline to have the full, completed proposal and internal approvals to your ORA representative is November 12.
Please contact your corresponding ORA Representative if you have any questions/comments. https://ora.missouristate.edu/contact.htm
Program Solicitation: https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2023/nsf23519/nsf23519.htm
MSU and the Office of Research Administration (ORA) will be closed July 4th and 5th. Proposals due to the sponsor on July 4th, 5th, or 8th must be to ORA by the morning of Monday, July 1. Please reach out to your Research Administration Specialist for assistance.
