3 Learning Objectives Gain awareness of the findings and recommendations from these studies on administrative burdens Identify actions that are recommended at the Federal and institutional levels to reduce this drain on science. Utilize good practices in the lessons learned from what other institutions are doing to reduce the administrative burdens on their principal investigators
4 FDP 2012 Faculty Workload Survey Federally funded researchers report spending less than 60% of their research time actually engaged in research. The rest is devoted to meeting administrative requirements. Post-award Admin, 13.6% Pre-award Proposal Prep, 15.4% Report Prep, 7.6% Active Research,

7 FASEB Report Emerging Themes 7
8 Cross-Cutting Themes Legislative and Regulatory Burden Need for Greater Harmonization Burden Due to Audit and Oversight Variable Institutional Support
9 Congressional Testimony Joint hearing before the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology Subcommittee on Oversight and Subcommittee on Research and Technology on Reducing the Administrative Workload for Federally Funded Research, June 12, 2014 Dr. Arthur Bienenstock, National Science Board Dr. Gina Lee-Glauser, VPR, Syracuse University Hon. Allison Lerner, Inspector General, NSF Dr. Susan Wyatt Sedwick, Chair, FDP Resulted in HR 5056
10 National Research Council Study Received $1 million from the US Department of Education under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014 to study the time and costs to institutions required to comply with the regulations and reporting requirements. NRC Committee on Federal Research Regulations and Reporting Requirements: A New Framework for Research Universities for the 21 st Century Interim report issued September 21, Final report issued June 29, 2016
11 Recommendations for Institutions Revise self-imposed burdensome institutional policies that go beyond those necessary and sufficient to comply with federal, state, and local requirements Assess processes to determine where compliance requirements can be streamlined to ensure effective use of indirect research recovery costs Honor just-in-time flexibility Sanction those who are not compliant Academic research institutions must take timely and appropriate action against members of their communities who violate the values of trust and integrity to which community standards and federal funding of research, as well as academic responsibilities, require strict adherence. 11
12 COGR Activities Actions to Reduce Administrative Burdens Checklist Data Collection mechanism that includes suggestions for institutions to think about reducing their own administrative burden Dr. Lisa Nichols - lnichols@cogr.edu Deadline has passed though results still trickling in Look for results in early 2017
13 Lipinski Bill HR 5583 University Regulations Streamlining and Harmonization Act of 2016 Follow up on recommendations from the National Academy of Sciences report Establishes a Research Policy Board to advise the Office of Management and Budget on proposed research regulations and recommend ways to improve existing regulation Allow for the review of research regulations by a panel of experts from the research & university community Eliminate requires for duplicative auditing of research grants (safe harbor) Streamline the procurement process for purchasing research equipment and help universities make sensible arrangements to save money by buying in bulk Simplify the application process across multiple funding agencies Assist scientists in filling out grant applications by setting up an online database for researcher information that can automatically input certain parts of applications 13
14 Lipinski Bill HR 5583 University Regulations Streamlining and Harmonization Act of 2016 Bill has been referred to the House Science, Space, and Technology committee and the Oversight and Government Reform committee Check with your federal relations representative about support from legislative officials for your congressional districts Write your congressman!! 14
15 University of Texas at Austin The University of Texas at Austin is currently engaged in an initiative to modernize business processes, data management, and information systems to facilitate effective and efficient pursuit of the University s mission of teaching, research, and service.
16 University of Texas at Austin Office of Sponsored Projects As part of the modernization project OSP must replacing the current pre-award system Research Management System (RMS) Background on RMS Homegrown system RMS went live in 1998 Stitched together By 2021 RMS will no longer be supported by the current mainframe
17 University of Texas at Austin Office of Sponsored Projects In anticipation of new electronic systems Reduced IT updates within current pre-award system One final improvement, PI workgroup surveyed to create a non-existent feature Created a better budget review vs. a tracking feature Create a game plan for possible Federal mandates Ex. ARRA, FFATA Informal internal review of needs and wants within a new system
18 University of Texas at Austin Office of Sponsored Projects Mitigating the black hole during a time of change and transition Black holes are perpetrated by poor communication and creates an additional burden on faculty by not knowing what is needed or where something is in the process. Review of current processes to help relieve administrative burden Implemented a triage system Administrative staff notifies PIs of awards faster than before and streamlines the process by requesting documentation earlier in the process Creating internal e-share system RMS unable to provide needed functionality for internal electronic document management currently needed by OSP Reduces redundant requests to the PIs Speeds up the process for award negotiation, award processing, and issuance of subawards/subcontracts Conversation for identifying items that are low-risk during the proposal stage
19 University of Texas at Austin Office of Sponsored Projects Planned elimination of Effort Reporting Revision of subrecipient processing/monitoring Identify and eliminating redundancy Realization of requesting the same pieces of information at each step Combing efforts with SPAA and the department Ex. Reduce PIs burden by receiving invoices centrally Developing a Financial Health Review Program Constantly reviewing for other inefficacies between the various stages of a sponsored project until a system is chosen and implemented

31 Institutional Case Study
32 Survey Response Comments IBCs under-supported compared to peer Research Compliance Committees (IRB and IACUC) Low institutional interest except for Select Agents or exposure incidents Recombinant DNA viewed as less risky than wild-type and blood borne pathogens research Review of IBC protocols differs by Biosafety Level (BSL) and type of research Quantitative data on trends remains an ongoing need
33 Observed Trends in Biological Materials Oversight and IBCs Research involving biological materials has increased over time Protocol review data Expansion of IBC review beyond NIH Guidelines and Select Agent requirements Y1976 Y1978 Total IBC Protocols by Year from 22 Institutions Y1980 Y1982 Y1984 Y1986 Y1988 Y1990 Y1992 Y1994 Y1996 Y1998 Y2000 Y2002 Y2004 Y2006 Y2008 Y2010
34 Observed Trends in Biological Materials Oversight and IBCs Institutions registering multiple IBCs to handle different aspects of review Inconsistent or irregular data on laboratory incidents with biological materials 172/173 reviewed recombinant DNA, as required by NIH funding Others
35 Limitations of the Study Institutions lacked the ability to accurately report prior reviews of biological materials Responses skewed towards academic institutions Limited inferences with cross-sectional survey Lack of data on true number of accidents with biological materials Well documented for lab accidents to be under reported; Lack of willingness from institutions to disclose nonrecombinant accidents with biological materials. Summary: A cross-sectional survey was able to provide a snapshot of the regulatory burden previously unknown
