Measuring Success for Pre-Doctoral Trainees: An Initial Glimpse
In their 2014 report, the Advisory Committee to the Director recommended that NIH sustain support for training of dual-degree (M.D./Ph.D.) physician scientists. As part of our ongoing efforts, we wanted to assess the success of those trainees over time.
In this analysis, we focused on the course of 33,067 predoctoral trainees, including M.D./Ph.D. (or equivalent) who were enrolled in NIH-funded institutional training programs and voluntarily reported their age, gender, race and ethnicity. (There are 11,506 predoctoral trainees who did not report complete demographic data). The cohort consisted of trainees affiliated with e...

Reminder of COVID-19-Related Flexibilities for NIH Grants
This pandemic has challenged the world in ways we never would have imagined. It has changed the way we socialize, the way we parent, the way we work. And, of course, we know it has challenged the research community across the globe. On this blog a few months ago my colleague, Carrie Wolinetz, poignantly describes her experience parenting during the pandemic. Whether you are a parent or not, we continually see evidence of the personal and professional challenges the community is experiencing. (See survey results on the impact of the pandemic from NIH and others, many of which are listed in this report from the Association...

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Extramural Scientific Workforce – Outcomes from an NIH-Led Survey
Conclusion
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been far-reaching. Our survey findings show that the scientific workforce has not been immune to its effects. It is clear the NIH-funded community of extramural researchers has experienced inequities in several domains, with early-career researchers and those with caregiving responsibilities most affected.
NIH has already begun taking preemptive actions for investigators early in their careers, recently issuing a guide notice detailing opportunities for extension of Fellowship (F) and Career Development (K) awards impacted by COVID-19. NIH has also allowed investigators ...
