Other Support includes all resources made available to a researcher in support of and/or related to all of their research endeavors, regardless of whether or not they have monetary value and regardless of whether they are based at the institution the researcher identifies for the current grant. This includes but is not limited to:
Resources and/or financial support from all foreign and domestic entities, that are available to the researcher. This includes but is not limited to, financial support for laboratory personnel, and provision of high-value materials that are not freely available (e.g., biologics, chemical, model systems, technology, etc.). Institutional resources, such as core facilities or shared equipment that are made broadly available, should not be included in Other Support, but rather listed under Facilities and Other Resources.
Consulting agreements, when the PD/PI or other senior/key personnel will be conducting research as part of the consulting activities. Non-research consulting activities are not Other Support.
In-kind contributions, e.g. office/laboratory space, equipment, supplies, or employees or students supported by an outside source. If the time commitment or dollar value of the in-kind contribution is not readily ascertainable, the recipient must provide reasonable estimates.
Supporting documentation, which includes copies of contracts/agreements specific to senior/key-personnel foreign appointments and/or employment with a foreign institution for all foreign activities and resources that are reported in Other Support. If the contracts/agreements are not in English, recipients must provide translated copies.
Immediate notification of undisclosed Other Support. When a recipient organization discovers that a PI or other Senior/Key personnel on an active NIH grant failed to disclose Other Support information outside of Just-in-Time or the RPPR, as applicable, the recipient must submit updated Other Support to the Grants Management Specialist named in the Notice of Award as soon as it becomes known.
How To: | Here are the components of an NIH Other Support Page: Name of Individual: Provide the name of the senior/key person. Commons ID: Provide the eRA Commons ID number of the senior/key person. Title: Identify the title of the project, subproject, or activity. Major Goals: Provide a brief statement of the overall objectives of the project, subproject, or consortium/contractual arrangement or a description of the activity. Status of Support: Indicate if the support is currently Active or Pending. Project Number: Provide the project number. If applicable, include a code or identifier for the project. Name of PD/PI: Provide the name of the Contact PD/PI of the project. Source of Support: Identify the agency, institute, foundation, or other organization that is providing the support. Include domestic, foreign, institutional, federal, public, and private sources of support. Primary Place of Performance: Include the primary location where the project or activity is being executed. For example, a secondary analysis grant would report Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD. Project/Proposal Start and End Dates: Indicate the inclusive dates of the project/activity as approved/proposed. For example, in the case of NIH support, provide the dates of the approved/proposed competitive segment. For in-kind contributions, provide project dates when applicable. Total Award Amount: For active projects, provide the total award costs for the period of performance, including indirect costs. For example, in the case of NIH support, provide the total award costs for the competitive segment. For a pending project, provide the proposed total costs for the period of performance. Person Months: Indicate calendar or academic/summer months associated with each project. For an active project, provide the level of actual effort in person months (even if unsalaried) for the current budget period and indicate the proposed level effort for each remaining budget period. Person months should be classified as calendar or academic/summer. Regarding the Year list for Person Months, you should base the year on the start date as it relates to the NIH fiscal year, which runs from October-September. For example, if a start date of a grant is 9/1/2022, you would list it under year 2022. If the start date is 10/1/2022, you would list the year as 2023. See example for more information.
For a pending project, indicate the level of effort in person months as proposed for each budget period. Use either calendar months OR a combination of academic and summer months. If effort does not change throughout the year, it is OK to use only calendar months. However, you may use both academic and summer months if your institutional business process requires noting each separately even if effort remains constant. If effort varies between academic and summer months, use only academic and summer months, and do not use calendar months. In cases where an individual’s appointment is divided into academic and summer segments, indicate the proportion of each devoted to the project. Summary of In-Kind Contributions: Provide a summary of the In-Kind Contribution. Estimated Dollar Value of In-Kind Contribution: Provide an estimate for the value of the In-Kind Contribution. If the time commitment or dollar value is not readily ascertainable, reasonable estimates should be provided. Overlap: After listing all support, summarize for each individual any potential overlap with the active or pending projects and activities, other positions, affiliations, and resources and this application in terms of the science, budget, or an individual’s committed effort. Signature: Each PD/PI or other senior key personnel must electronically sign their respective Other Support form prior to submission. This signature certifies that the statements are true, complete and accurate.
