Understanding Age in the NIH Portfolio: Implementation of the NIH Inclusion Across the Lifespan Policy
Dawn Corbett, M.P.H., NIH’s Inclusion Policy Officer Last December, NIH announced a revision to its Inclusion of Children Policy to expand the policy to individuals of all ages (NOT-OD-18-116). The revised policy, now called the Inclusion Across the Lifespan policy, requires individuals of all ages (including children and older adults) be included in clinical research studies unless there are scientific or ethical reasons to exclude them (see also this Open Mike post and this All About Grants podcast). A recent Viewpoint Essay published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), co-authored by Drs. M...

2015 CURE SUDEP Award
Every year, more than 1 in 1,000 people with epilepsy die from Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).  There is an urgent need for more research into the causes of SUDEP, including but not limited to the identification of SUDEP-specific biomarkers. Therefore, CURE seeks novel research projects that will address the goal of understanding and eliminating SUDEP. This program will award grants to researchers submitting innovative proposals that suggest new directions for SUDEP research. We specifically encourage studies that may not be currently fundable by other agencies because of their preliminary or unc...
