Institutional Responsibilities

July 16, 2004 The IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) Grant was awarded to the state of Idaho by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR). One condition of the INBRE grant is the submission of a very detailed annual progress report to NIH and NCRR. The extensive information required by NIH and NCRR for the annual progress report is all encompassing and requires specific information, ranging from individual participants to campus wide data from all participating institutions. In order to complete the annual progress report to NIH/NCRR, we will require each institution to submit a detailed annual progress report to the administrative INBRE office at the University of Idaho. Below you will find a list of questions you may expect to see on the annual progress report for your institution.

	Although the information we are requesting may seem extensive, please know that we are only requesting the information that NIH requires us to provide in the annual progress report. NIH uses this information to justify the National INBRE Program to the U.S. Congress.
	The information requested is for one project period/budget period or one year of the grant, usually from May 1^st – April 30^th.
	Within 30 days of signing the subcontract, you must submit contact information for the individual who will be responsible for collecting and submitting the below data. The responsibility of this report must remain with your University or College Central Administration and cannot be transferred to the P.I. of the subcontract. The PI of the subcontract will be required to submit other reports specific to the student and faculty research efforts funded by INBRE.
	Expect to see a request for this information sometime between October and December each year.
	All data will be submitted on-line through the INBRE on-line assessment database.
	Please keep in mind that all information listed below is subject to change. The examples below are based on the information NIH has requested us to report in the past. It is possible that NIH may choose to change the information they require us to report. Should NIH change the information they require from us, we will alter questions we ask of you accordingly.
	The information provided below is only an example. Detailed reporting requirements, definitions, and instructions will be provided at annual assessment time.

	Shared Resources and Facilities: For Reporting Purposes we must report on all shared resources and facilities at each Institution.
	For each shared facility* we must know:
		Title of shared resource or facility.
		Description of the function and contents of this shared facility or equipment. Did BRIN/INBRE by any of this equipment?
		For each shared facility we need to know how many faculty, graduate students, post docs, staff, and undergraduate students used the facilities, were the users charged users fees, and did INBRE funds pay the fees.
		List all faculty, staff, or students who are responsible for the every day operations, maintenance, and training of this facility/equipment. Does BRIN/INBRE fund any of these faculty, staff, or students?

·*A shared facility is defined by NIH as an institutions major resources and facilities used by BRIN/INBRE and non-BRIN/INBRE investigators alike. Examples include but are not limited to:, Animal facilities, libraries, biomedical labs, computer hardware and software services, equipment maintenance services, subscriptions to electronic journals, and grants and contracts management services.

*Science and health-related departments, degrees, etc. are loosely defined as: Pertaining to scientific, biomedical, or behavioral academic fields at an institution, including but not limited to:
