Breaches of Peer Review Integrity
Sally Amero, Ph.D., NIH’s Review Policy Officer and Extramural Research Integrity Liaison Officer
It is a priority to us to continue to engage with the community about what constitutes a breach of NIH peer review integrity – including, but not limited to:
A reviewer sending grant applications to their postdocs to write their critiquesSomeone revealing that they reviewed a particular applicationA reviewer disclosing how another reviewer scored an applicationA principal investigator (PI) approaching a reviewer at a scientific conference to discuss her/his institution’s application in which s/he is design...

NIH Policies to Address Sexual and Gender Harassment in NIH-supported Extramural Research
Several months ago, we learned in the press that an NIH-supported investigator was banned from his university campus pending an ongoing investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct. The institution, which was the recipient of the awards in which this investigator was designated as principal investigator (PI), had not informed us of this situation. Once aware, we contacted senior institutional officials to discuss the need to ensure the effective stewardship of the award under these circumstances. We requested that the institution provide us with alternative plans for conducting the research given that this indiv...

Charting Your Small Business ’ Course with NIH
At NIH, we maintain a broad and diverse portfolio of biomedical and behavioral research. To turn discovery into health, promising technologies must move from the laboratory into clinical trials, into the marketplace, into the doctor’s office, and into our every-day lives. A key way to transition promising technologies out of the laboratory is through the commercialization process.
Small businesses help to achieve this commercialization goal. By strategically aligning research resources in academic settings with the dedicated funding for small businesses that Congress established decades ago, NIH can reduce the barriers t...
