with the funding of this grant at a reduction of $1,505,270 from the
recommended level of $3,273,473.  Each future year budget period includes no
more than a 4% cost-of-living escalation factor over the current 01 direct
costs base {excluding equipment}.

5.   Applicant organization must comply with the Public Health Service (PHS)
policy relating to distribution of unique research resources produced with PHS
funding (NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts, Vol. 20, No. 5, February, 1991).
Grantee should also comply with the NIH-DOE guidelines for access to mapping
and sequencing data and material resources, adopted by the NIH-DOE joint
subcommittee on December 7, 1992 (see attached).

6.   In order to redistribute awards more evenly throughout the year, grant
budget periods are being adjusted.  This award is issued for 10 months; future
continuation awards will cycle each year on July 1.  Non-competing continuation
applications are due two months prior to this date.  Allowable preaward costs
may be charged to this award, in accordance with the conditions outlined in the
PHS Grants Policy Statement, revised April 1, 1994, and with institutional
requirements for prior approval.

7.   Allowable costs of activities conducted by for-profit organizations will
be determined by applying the costs principles of Contracts with Commercial
Organizations set forth in 48 CFR 31.2.  However, independent research and
development costs (including the indirect costs allocable to them) are
unallowable.

If you need assistance from the National Center for Human Genome Research
during the course of this grant, please contact the grants management and
program staff whose telephone numbers are shown on the Notice of Grant Award.
These individuals work closely with one another through all phases of each
project to facilitate the award and the administration of the grant.  Their
functions are defined as follows:

GRANTS MANAGEMENT CONTRACT:  The Grants Management Specialist, whose name and
telephone number are indicated in the "Remarks" section of the Notice of Grant
Award, is responsible for all business management matters associated with the
review, negotiation, award and administration grants.  The Grants Management
Specialist serves as the focal point for receiving and responding to all
questions and correspondence related to business management and policy matters,
such as correspondence giving or denying any prior approval required by Public
Health Service policy or special Terms of Award, transfer of the grant to
another institution, a change in the period of support, or any actions which
commit, or may result in committing the NCHGR to a change in the amount of
funding.

PROGRAM CONTACT:  The Health Scientist Administrator, or program official,
whose name and telephone number also are indicated in the "Remarks" section of
the Notice of Grant Award, is responsible for all scientific and technical
matters dealing with the administration of the grant.  The Health Scientist
Administrator reviews and monitors scientific progress of the project and
provides advice and assistance scientific objectives of the research program
can be pursued effectively and successfully.  All questions or correspondence
dealing with research progress, changes in research direction, unique
scientific opportunities, or any other scientific need should be addressed to
the Health Scientist Administrator.

PRIOR APPROVAL:  Requests which require the prior approval of the NCHGR must be
submitted in writing to the Grants Management Officer.  All requests should
reference the complete grant number, e.g., 1 R01 HG 12345-01, and must be
signed by the authorized official of the business office of the grantee
institution and by the principal investigator.

                  NIH-DOE GUIDELINES FOR ACCESS TO MAPPING AND
                     SEQUENCING DATA AND MATERIAL RESOURCES(1)

The information and resources generated by the Human Genome Project have become
substantial, and the interest in having access to them is widespread.  It is
therefore desirable to have a statement of philosophy concerning the sharing of
these resources that can guide investigators who generate the resources as well
as those who wish to use them.

A key issue for the Human Genome Project is how to promote and encourage the
rapid sharing of material and data that are produced, especially information
that has not yet been published or may never be published in its entirety.
Such sharing is essential for progress toward the goals of the program and to
avoid unnecessary duplication.  It is also desirable to make the fruits of
genome research available to the scientific community as a whole as soon as
possible to expedite research in other areas.

Although it is the policy of the Human Genome Project to maximize outreach to
the scientific community, it is also necessary to give investigators time to
verify the accuracy of their data and to gain some scientific advantage from
the effort they have invested.  Furthermore, in order to assure that novel
ideas and inventions are rapidly developed to the benefit of the public,
intellectual property protection may be needed for some of the data and
materials.

After extensive discussion with the community of genome researchers, the
advisors of the NIH and DOE genome programs have determined that consensus is
developing around the concept that a 6 month period from the time the data or
materials are generated to the time they are made available publicly is a
reasonable maximum in almost all cases.  More rapid sharing is encouraged.

Whenever possible, data should be deposited in public databases and materials
in public repositories.  Where appropriate repositories do not exist or are
unable to accept the data or materials, investigators should accommodate
requests to the extent possible.

The NIH and DOE genome programs have decided to require all applicants
expecting to generate significant amounts of genome data or materials to
describe in their application how and when they plan to make such data and
materials available to the community.  Grant solicitations will specify this
requirement.  These plans in each application will be reviewed in the course of
peer review and by staff to assure they are reasonable and in conformity with
program philosophy.  If a grant is made, the applicant's sharing plans will
become a condition of the award and compliance will be reviewed before
continuation is provided.  Progress reports will be asked to address the issue.

          Services Administration shall be used to pay the salary of an
          individual through a grant or other extramural mechanism at a rate in
          excess of $125,000 per year."

2.   It is the current practice of the NCHGR to mail the original Notice of
Grant Award (NGA) and Terms and Conditions to the Business Official of the

and sequencing data and materials resources, adopted by the NIH-DOE joint
