FY 2022 By the Numbers: Extramural Grant Investments in Research
Today we present our annual snapshot of NIH grant funding and success rate data for fiscal year (FY) 2022 enacted appropriations.
Number of Postdoctoral Researchers Supported by NIH Grant Awards FY 2017-FY 2022
In this post we show the estimated number of postdoctoral researchers (“postdocs”) supported in recent years by NIH grants. We gathered these data in coordination with the Advisory Committee to the Director’s (ACD) Working Group on Re-envisioning NIH-Supported Postdoctoral Training.
Recommendations for Proactively Addressing Authorship Disputes
Sometimes disagreements about authorship cannot be avoided, and many have likely seen it up close. They can be handled thoughtfully and appropriately. But when they are not, they may lead to serious consequences for the people and research involved. Here, we will look at this issue more closely and reflect on how to proactively address them.
Advancing the Promise of Open Science: We Want to Hear from You!
Open science is a priority at NIH and across the U.S. Federal Government. Today, we are pleased to announce that the “NIH Plan to Enhance Public Access to the Results of NIH-Supported Research” (NIH’s Public Access Plan) is now available for public review and comment.
You Are Invited: NIH Listening Sessions on the Postdoc Training System
NIH welcomes community input on the status of the postdoctoral training system through four public virtual listening sessions between March 8 – March 20, 2023. Register to attend and share your input!
Ending After May 11, 2023: Common Rule Exceptions to the Use of a Single IRB for Multi-site Research
The extramural community is reminded that as of May 11, 2023, NIH will no longer be able to grant single IRB exceptions for multi-site research that is subject to the revised Common Rule, due to the expiration of the Federal Public Health Emergency for COVID-19.
FOA or NOFO - It's All About Funding
In an effort to standardize terminology across the government, NIH is joining other federal agencies in using the term Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs) rather than Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs). You will see both terms in use while we work to update our websites and resources.
New Resources
New Resources Available on Submitting Good Cause Extension Requests for Results Reporting to ClinicalTrials.gov
Do you have questions about when it’s allowable to request an extension of the deadline for submitting clinical trial results information to ClinicalTrials.gov, how to request an extension, what to include, and how the requests are evaluated? A recently published resource explains all this and more.
Tips Before You Submit
Referring Study Sections Is a Work of “ART” (Assisted Referral Tool)
Did you know there’s a tool to help you find relevant study sections for your grant application? The Assisted Referral Tool (ART) was developed by the NIH Center for Scientific Review (CSR) to recommend potentially appropriate study sections using text from your application.
