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.

Help Us Understand How You Use Common Data Elements in NIH-Supported Research
The  NIH Data Science Strategic plan drives us towards having accessible, well-organized, secure, and efficiently operated data resources to maximize the value of data generated from NIH funding. To meet the mark as we move forward, data need to be interoperable, interconnected, harmonized, standardized, and shared where and when appropriate. One way we hit the mark is through encouraging researchers to adopt Common Data Elements (CDEs). CDEs foster rigor, facilitate data sharing, and allow multiple datasets to be integrated. They also help make data more FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). Many diff...
