Update on Simplifying Review Criteria: A Request for Information
Discussions are underway to incorporate consideration of a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP) and rigorous review of clinical trials RPGs (~10% of RPGs are clinical trials) within the proposed framework. Simplified Review Criteria NIH proposes to reorganize the five review criteria into three factors, with Factors 1 and 2 receiving a numerical score. Reviewers will be instructed to consider all three factors (Factors 1, 2 and 3) in arriving at their Overall Impact Score (scored 1-9), reflecting the overall scientific and technical merit of the application. Factor 1: Importance of the Research (Significance, In...

Biological Basis for how Environmental Exposures Impact Risk for Psychiatric Disorders (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
The objective of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to solicit applications that propose to better understand the biological basis by which environmental exposures alter brain and behavioral functioning to increase risk for psychiatric disorders with onset in late-childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood. Since basic and pre-clinical research is critical for the study of neurobiological mechanisms that drive complex behaviors including mental illness, the focus of this FOA is to encourage a range of mechanistic approaches, from in vitro systems to whole organism models, to examine the link between environment...

Reminders About Financial Conflicts of Interest and Other Support
A recent study from the HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) affirmed that NIH  grant recipients play a key role in protecting the integrity and security of U.S. biomedical research, in part through requiring Investigators to disclose all of their significant financial interests and all sources of their other support. As noted by the OIG, failures by some recipients to disclose substantial contributions of resources from foreign entities (including foreign governments) have raised concerns about threats to the integrity of NIH-supported research. In response to the OIG recommendations, we are reminding grant applicants a...
