XMM-NEWTON BUDGET PROPOSAL & PLANNING TOOLS
XMM-Newton Guest Observer Program Summary of Research
NASA and the federal government have specific requirements for the reporting of results obtained by the recipients of grant funds. The documentment Grant and Cooperative Agreement Manual details much of this information.XMM-Newton GOs receiving NASA grants are required to file a Summary of Research Report detailing their supported activities within 90 days of the conclusion of the grant period. The report should list the objectives of the research and the achieved goals, including the dissemination of the results (i.e., papers published on the subject). The report should be submitted by the budget Principal Investigator, and should include the activities of any subgrant recipients. If the proposed research was not feasible, explain why not.
A standard form for the Report is available in ps, pdf, and annotated LaTex formats.
NOTE: The proposal number that is requested at the top right of the form is that of the original science proposal. This is the six-digit number assigned by ESA.
The Report should be emailed to Dr. Kim Weaver (Kimberly.A.Weaver@nasa.gov).
NASA-funded XMM-Newton Guest Observer Publications and Data Access
NASA has specific requirements regarding free, public access of NASA-funded work. All researchers (civil servants and non-civil servants) who received funding from NASA are required to place their peer-reviewed publications and associated data in NASA's designated public repository. Please note that this does NOT include patents, publications that contain material governed by personal privacy, export control, proprietary restrictions, or national security law or regulations. Information on how to submit your paper can be found here.Grant Transfers and Rebudgetting
PIs with grants who change employers and PIs who wish to reallocate funds in their budgets are required to notify Dr. Kim Weaver (Kimberly.A.Weaver@nasa.gov) as soon as possible in order to ensure that their funds are properly dealt with. The minimum amount of money that may be transferred is $5,000. Please note that the money can be lost entirely if it is not transferred properly and in a timely manner! This is a checklist of all that is required, from all parties involved. To expand on this a bit, if you are a PI, you need to do all of the following steps below. If you are only rebudgetting, you need to do steps 4 and 5 below.1) Contact Dr. Weaver and provide the following information:
2) Contact your old institution's resource analyst and request that the following be sent to Dr. Weaver:
3) Contact your new institution's resource analyst and request that they send the following to Dr. Weaver:
4) Assemble the new budget proposal documents:
5) Email all the documents from Step 4 to Dr. Weaver. Once all the documents are received, she will attach her own documents and send the complete package to the NSSC. Please note that it is NASA policy that incomplete transfer requests will not be processed.
Note that if any inventions (including software) are derived from the supported grant activity there are special reporting requirements as well. See Exhibit G for further information.
