How will HHS/CDC enforce effort requirements in mechanisms, such as Ks, or in RFAs/PAs where minimum effort is stated?
Enforcement of effort that is required by mechanism (i.e., K awards), can still be upheld using the person month’s metric. (K awards require a minimum of 75% of full-time professional effort at the applicant organization, which must be spent conducting research career development and clinical research. This is based on a 12 month calendar year). For example: In translating 75% effort into person months, use the following formula based on a 12 month calendar year: 12 x .75 = 9 calendar months (if an institution utilizes a 9 month academic year, the calculation would be 9 x .75= 6.75 academic months).
