Seeking Your Ideas on the NIH-Wide Strategic Plan for COVID-19 Research
In less than a year, we have learned much about SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 disease. The NIH-Wide Strategic Plan for COVID-19 Research, released last July, has helped us get to this point. The Plan prioritizes conducting fundamental research; advancing diagnostics, treatments and prevention strategies; and redressing poor COVID-19 outcomes in health disparity and vulnerable populations. Cutting across all of these priorities is an emphasis on the importance of scientific collaboration, the research workforce, and data science as keys to the response. From shifting public health needs to the unprecedented pace of biomedical dis...

Encouraging Participation in Upcoming NIH Surveys to Identify Impacts of COVID-19 on Extramural Research
NIH has been working diligently to support the extramural research community since the pandemic began in March. We are now preparing to reach out with surveys to gather data on how COVID-19 is impacting our extramural researchers and their institutions. If you receive such a survey, we hope that you will take the time to provide us with your perspective. The results of the surveys  will be extremely valuable to inform policy and program decisions as NIH seeks to identify ways to continue to support the biomedical research enterprise as we move forward. We will be launching two surveys. The first is the NIH Impact of COVID...

An Early Look at Applications Submitted During the Pandemic
It has been four months since the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered laboratories and clinical studies across the country and the world.  On April 10, only a few weeks into the pandemic, the Congressional Research Service (CRS) published a report on the “Effects of COVID-19 on the Federal Research and Development Enterprise.”  The report described the consequences of social distancing and other pandemic mitigation measures.  These consequences included laboratory closures, de-prioritized projects, cancellation of meetings and conferences, loss of revenue, disrupted personnel processes (e.g. graduation, promotio...
