3. New Organization Dear Colleagues:
In August, the Center for Scholarly and Creative Excellence moved from the Brooks College to report directly to the Provost. With this
move, the CSCE was expanded to oversee the Office of Sponsored Programs (Grants Development and Administration), Research
Protections (Human Subject [HRRC] and Animal [IUCAC]), and the Office of Undergraduate Research. This change allows us to better
fulfill our mission of encouraging, facilitating, and supporting the Grand Valley community in its scholarly pursuits.
The CSCE is driven to develop an environment that facilitates world-class discoveries and innovations. We do this in partnership with
you. So give us your feedback. Let us know whether our office is meeting your needs.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Robert Smart
6. New Graduate Assistant We welcome Curtis Holt, our Technology Graduate Assistant, as the newest
member of our team. Curtis is responsible for the design, development, and maintenance of our website and all other technology-related needs. Initially,
Curtis will focus on designing a dynamic website for the Center for Scholarly
and Creative Excellence (CSCE) which involves merging six separate offices
under the CSCE umbrella. Curtis graduated from Western Michigan University with a BS in Computer Science and is well on his way to completing
a Masters degree in Computer Information Systems.
5. GLAD Team Meeting Our first GLAD Team meeting of the academic year is set for Friday, September 24th, 2010, at WGVU Studios, 301 W. Fulton
The Grant Leadership Advisory & Development Team (GLAD Team) is composed of faculty and staff who are considered to be
grant leaders at GVSU, such as successful grant proposal writers, grant managers, directors of grant-funded departments, and
finance and accounting representatives. The GLAD Team meets twice per semester to review internal policies related to grant
seeking and management, new trends in sponsored research, changes in government compliance issues, and many other relevant topics.
4. August GRC Meeting Office of Sponsored Programs staff attended a Grants Resource Center external funding conference held in Washington, D.C. on
August 22nd through 25th. The conference included one-on-one meetings with federal program officers, sessions on agency priorities and federal and private funding opportunities, and strategies for integrating research and sponsored programs with the
mission of your institution.
If you would like to receive the information provided at these meetings, please contact our office.

NIH Freezes Stem Cell Research
On August 23, 2010, Judge Royce Lamberth of the U.S. District Court in Washington, DC issued a preliminary injunction against
federal funding for stem cell research, which stopped the review of about 62 grant applications, and suspended another 22 grant applications slotted for funding in September. National Institutes of Health (NIH) director Francis Collins told reporters that the
Human embryonic stem cell research has been a contentious issue for two decades. President George Bush banned federal funding for the development of new stem lines in 2001, but allowed research using the 23 stem cell lines that were approved at that time. In
March 2009, President Barack Obama expanded funding, which fostered many new stem cell projects nationwide and NIH
approval of 75 new stem cell lines.
Collins said initially that scientists who have already received funds for studies involving human embryonic stem cells could
continue their work, while the U.S. Department of Justice announced plans to quickly appeal the federal court ruling. But as the
American Association for the Advancement of Science reported in the August 30, 2010 edition of Science, NIH has since ordered scientists to suspend their current work on stem cells. An August 27, 2010 letter from Michael Gottesman, deputy director for
intramural research, was obtained by Science
determined that the recent preliminary injunction ordered by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in the
matter of Sherley v. Sebelius is applicable to the use of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) in intramural research projects. In light of this determination, effective today August 27, 2010, all intramural scientists who use hESC lines should initiate procedures

What do I put down for Congressional District?
You see it on that SF-
1) the funding agency uses this information to notify congressional leaders of awards and
2) entering the information in the wrong format can cause your electronic grant application to be denied/rejected.
Here are the instructions from grants.gov:
- 3 character District Number. Examples: CA-005 for California's 5th district, CA-012 for California's 12th district. If all districts in a state are affected, enter "all" for the district number. Example: MD-all for all congressional districts in Maryland. If nationwide (all districts in all states), enter US-all. If the program/project is outside the US, enter 00-000. To locate your congressional district, visit the Grants.gov web site. Attach an additional list of program/project congressional districts, if needed.
Congressional District of Applicant: MI-002
nd Congressional District. So it should be entered as MI-002.
Congressional district of the performance site
This can vary depending on where you are conducting the project.
How do I locate/confirm any other congressional districts?
There are several websites to check the congressional district.
