Guidance for Appendices/User Tables All Cores DEFINITIONS CFAR Beneficiary: An individual who receives assistance of any sort from the CFAR. Not all CFAR beneficiaries are counted as CFAR users. CFAR Member: There is no official NIH CFAR definition of a CFAR “member.” Each CFAR should establish its own criteria for membership in the CFAR. CFAR User: A CFAR beneficiary who is eligible to serve as PI on any NIH funding mechanism. Only CFAR Users are counted when filling out Appendix A or sections I.A and I.B in the Director’s Overview. Categories: All CFAR users will fall into one or more of six categories. All CFAR users will fall into Categories 1-4. Some CFAR users may also fall into Categories 5-6 A researcher who is or has ever been PI on an R01 equivalent NIH AIDS PIs Category 1 grant in HIV/AIDS
NIH PIs being A researcher who is or has ever been PI on an R01 equivalent brought into Category 2 grant, but never in HIV/AIDS AIDS research
NIH “New Investigators,” An NIH definition that encompasses Category 3 individuals who have received funding as a PI from NIH*, but not AIDS-research yet at the R01 equivalent level. Pipeline CFAR Users who have not yet received funding from NIH* as PI or Category 4 Co-PI funding on any NIH grant mechanism
Developmental Category 5 Recipients of Core B funding, mentoring, and/or other services Core Special Emphasis Category 6 Recipients of NIH CFAR administrative supplements
*Individuals whose only history of NIH funding at the PI or PD level has come indirectly from NIH, for example through the CFAR via an NIH CFAR Administrative Supplement, fall into Category 4 Funded Research Base (FRB): The total dollar amount of research funding that the NIH CFAR counts when determining, during competitive review, whether a given CFAR will receive funding at the Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 level. Not all NIH funding mechanisms are included when calculating the FRB and not all projects funded through allowable mechanisms are eligible for inclusion in a given year’s FRB. See the CFAR PA for more details. FRB Project: A project appearing on the “Allow” tab of an FRB Excel spreadsheet. FRB projects are prioritized for attention from the CFAR. FRB Report: An Excel spreadsheet provided annually by the NIH CFAR that contains a list of projects that are counted in a CFAR’s FRB for a given NIH fiscal year. Percent Use: The percent of a Core’s total time spent on a particular Core Usage table entry (see Appendix D). Total percent use for a Core should add up to 100%. Project Period: Five-year increments of funding from NIH. e.g. “3rd” project period.
1 Rev 10/24/14 Project Year: An individual CFAR’s fiscal year, counted from its first year of NIH funding. e.g. YR12 = 12th year of NIH funding, aka the second year of the third project period, assuming a 5 year D-CFAR project period. “R01 Equivalent” Grant: NIH considers the following mechanisms to be “R01 equivalents:” R01, R23, R29, R37 and, after 2008, DP2. The NIH CFAR also adds “P” series and “U” series to the list. Reporting Period: The period of time since data for the previous progress report was gathered for submission, without reference to a CFAR’s fiscal year. Roles: The types of participation that CFAR users engage in. “CD” (Core Director) and “CU” (Core User) are standard across all CFARs. For reporting in Appendix A.1 and A.2, each CFAR may define and label additional roles that best describe their CFAR’s users participation. Synergy: A “mutually advantageous collaboration between separate entities.” For the purposes of a CFAR report or application those entities may be two or more separate CFARs (inter-CFAR), two or more Cores and/or SWGs within the same CFAR (intra-CFAR), or your CFAR and another organization(s) at your institution or beyond (extra-CFAR). Value Added: Resources provided by the CFAR that allow an individual or group to accomplish a goal they otherwise might not be able to accomplish, or simply to accomplish it “better” (more rapidly, more cost effectively, more collaboratively etc.) than they otherwise might, given the limitations imposed by other NIH funding mechanisms. Value Added Activities: Consultation: Verbal assistance or feedback in a Core faculty member or staff’s area of expertise. For example, helping to develop or critique a research study design Equipment/Space: Shared Equipment: Access to equipment that a Core user may use on his or her own, assuming the presence of proper training and supervision. For example, handheld data collection devices or lab equipment. Shared Space: Access to research space that a Core user may use to perform studies. For example, access to space for use in recruiting into or performing clinical or behavioral studies. Materials: Portable items given to Core Users. For example, tissue samples, chemicals, labware, and/or documents. Services: Developmental Services: Activities that Core staff undertake in order to develop a greater capacity for assisting Core Users in the future. For example, optimization, standardization, and validation of novel assays. Requested Services: Activities that Core staff undertake at the request of a Core User. For example, performing an already standardized assay. Training: Imparting knowledge or a skill to a Core User that s/he may later use on his or her own. For example, teaching someone how to use a piece of equipment, design a study, perform an assay, or do a power analysis Other: Other value added activities not covered above. For example, community outreach. Value Added Example: A well-written value added example has three components: 1. A brief description of the situation/achievement to which the CFAR added value 2. A concrete description of the action taken / resources provided 3. The outcome resulting from CFAR’s contribution Value Added examples are formatted in this way: [Situation] 2 [Action taken] [Outcome]

For the purposes of this Appendix Guidance, examples of completed tables are provided as they might have been compiled by a hypothetical “Urban University CFAR” for submission to NIH for their current reporting period, which covers Urban CFAR’s Project Year YR10 (8/1/14 – 7/31/15).

NOTE Core B Awards Outcome Summary, 2000 – current
The NIH Google Document (Excel template) is no longer available and is being replaced by a secure website interface that will be used to directly input information. Information in that website will be available online to NIH CFAR readers. No outcome summary report needs to be printed and included here. Appendix D – CFAR Science Core Activities The purpose of this appendix is to describe the support provided for CFAR- and NIH-funded projects and other key activities of the Core. . Report information for each Science Core in a separate Appendix (D.1, D.2, D.3, etc). . Divide information into two tables: 1) Support for NIH-Funded Projects; 2) Other Significant Activities. . The “% Use” column for the two tables should cumulatively equal 100% . List Core B projects first, followed by NIH Admin Supplements, followed by NIH awards . Put the names of first time core users in italicized font; put NIH grant numbers appearing on FRB in bold face font .

Format table as needed to present the information as succinctly and quantitatively as possible
The “% Use” column for Tables 1 and 2 should cumulatively equal 100% Appendix E The purpose of Appendix E is to describe the individuals who belong to each of the CFAR’s Scientific Working Groups (SWGs).
Bear in mind that a central purpose of the SWG concept is to turbocharge HIV/AIDS research by including investigators who can contribute expertise from other fields, to support junior and NIH New Investigators, and to bring together a broad array of expertise and interests. Use this roster to document progress in achieving this purpose.
Use column 2 (“New to SWG”) to identify members who have joined the SWG since the previous year Use column 3 (“Outside Expertise”) to identify members who are primarily contributing expertise that is outside of the field of HIV/AIDS Use column 4 (“Categories”) to identify unfunded (Category 4) or NIH new investigators (Category 3) Provide enough detail on research interests to make it clear how their research will facilitate the work of the SWG Appendix E.1
