Congress Strengthens NIH ’s Ability To Address Harassment in NIH-funded Activities
Marie A. Bernard, M.D., NIH Chief Officer for Scientific Workforce Diversity.
The recently passed Consolidated Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2022 includes “Section 239,” which is a milestone in our efforts to ensure safe working conditions for people engaged in NIH-supported research. The law requires NIH grant recipients to notify us when their senior key personnel are removed from their position or are otherwise disciplined due to concerns about harassment, bullying, retaliation, or hostile working conditions. This is a major step in our continued effort to change the culture of harassment in biomedical science....

Strengthening Efforts to End Harassment and Discrimination at NIH-Supported Conferences
A year ago, we began requiring plans to enhance and strengthen diversity in applications seeking funding for scientific conferences and meetings. Our guide notice NOT-OD-21-053 reiterated the long-standing expectation that recipients maintain a safe and respectful environment, free from harassment and discrimination. Building on these efforts, we are now asking recipients to proactively show how they will address safety and harassment.
Conferences, unfortunately, may present increased risks for harassment compared to campus environments. Increased harassment risks at off-campus events have been linked to a lack of awaren...

Long-Term Trends in the Age of Principal Investigators Supported for the First Time on NIH R01-Equivalent Awards
The R01 (or R01-equivalent) grant has traditionally been a critical component to the launch of one’s research career. A number of academic leaders have described and expressed concerns about the age at which scientists are first supported on an R01 award (“age at first R01”). The biomedical research workforce is aging over the past several decades due to demographic trends and the end of mandatory retirement in academia. Difficulties faced by early-career investigators may include prolonged training, advantages of incumbency, and cost-shifting to universities.
We have heard these concerns too, and recognize the pot...

Expanded Website Outlines How to Support Safe and Respectful Workplaces at Institutions that Receive NIH Funding
Since establishing processes to notify us about concerns of sexual harassment affecting an NIH-funded project, we have handled extramural harassment allegations involving over 300 individuals. Sexual harassment, as the Advisory Committee to the NIH Director has noted (see page 7 of the report), is only one form of harassment and inappropriate behavior. The committee has also strongly supported using an expanded definition of harassment from the National Academies.
We agree. Harassment takes many forms including sexual harassment, discrimination, and other forms of inappropriate conduct that can result in a hostile work env...
