Updates Related to Federal Orders, Memos, and Agency Guidance

Research is a focus of one of the Michigan Medicine working groups interpreting changes generated by federal funding and regulatory agencies as a result of executive orders and other actions. The Medical School Office of Research is maintaining a SharePoint page (login required) as a repository of communications and documents related to the output of that working group.

Research administrators and investigators are encouraged to use the new MM AI Letter of Support Writer, an artificial intelligence (AI) platform, that assists in the creation of letters of support for research proposal submissions.

How Grant Services & Analysis Supports Research

Research Development

Our Research Development professionals work with faculty to increase extramural funding. We connect faculty with opportunities; work with faculty on grant writing/editing; coordinate large-scale proposals; support faculty career development through programs like R01 Boot Camp; manage internal funding programs; provide bridging support; and assist with limited submissions.

Pre-Award

“Pre-Award” constitutes anything that facilitates a proposal’s creation and submission, prior to the award being received. We offer resources for proposal preparation, using eResearch Proposal Management (eRPM), proposal routing, and proposal submission.

Post-Award

“Post-Award” comprises everything that happens to administer a research project, following the official award being received. We also maintain the Post-Award Procedures Manual, which represents the consolidation of the Medical School post-award procedures and best practices.

Research Data Analytics

Our office provides data for sections of the M-DASH and M-STAT systems. We collect data from the proposals submitted, as well as directly from the National Institutes of Health. We are also able to provide data based on award submissions and receipts.

Resources & Education

Our office also writes and maintains policies related to aspects of sponsored research in the Medical School, creates and holds training sessions on various research administration topics, and works on special projects that arise and need our expertise.

New Requirement for Dual Appointment VA Faculty Serving as PIs on U-M Sponsored Projects

Veterans Administration (VA) and University of Michigan dual-appointed faculty proposing research through U-M often plan to use resources (space, staff, subject pools, equipment, etc) at the VA. In these circumstances, the national VA requires that a Federal Conflict of Interest (FCOI) waiver be received BEFORE the application is submitted (18 U.S.C. §208). To support the VA in achieving compliance, Michigan Medicine is implementing a review of disclosure prior to U-M submission. Beginning July 1, 2026, all VA–U-M dual-appointed faculty serving as a PI and using resources that require VA regulatory approval must obtain an FCOI waiver through the VA before submitting the grant through U-M.
