Welcome the New Director for the NIH Center for Scientific Review – Dr. Noni Byrnes
It gives me enormous pleasure to extend my warm congratulations to a friend and colleague, Noni H. Byrnes, Ph.D., for her recent selection as the new Director for the NIH Center for Scientific Review (CSR).    CSR serves a vital role. Not only does CSR manage the receipt and referral of all grant applications for NIH and for other parts of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, dedicated CSR staff also oversee the peer review of approximately 75 percent of the more than 80,000 grant applications NIH receives each year. One can find more data on NIH peer review β€œin” the NIH Data Book.  A...

Functional RNA Modifications Environment and Disease (FRAMED) (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-ES-19-001 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Chemical modifications of protein, DNA and RNA nucleoside moieties play critical roles in regulating gene expression. Emerging evidence suggests RNA modifications have substantive roles in multiple basic biological processes. Epitranscriptomics can be defined as the aggregate suite of functional biochemical modifications to the transcriptome within a cell. Recent studies in yeast, Drosophila, rodent and human models demonstrate that stressors can induce RNA modifications, with specific reprogramming of some regulatory RNAs. The NIEHS seeks to...
