FY 2022 By the Numbers: Extramural Grant Investments in Research
Today we present our annual snapshot of NIH grant funding and success rate data for fiscal year (FY) 2022 enacted appropriations. These data are available in the NIH Data Book, which is also being regularly updated with other FY 2022 grants information. Similar to our FY 2021 and FY 2020 posts, spending related to special appropriations for coronavirus are excluded here, but may be found using RePORTER’s advanced search capabilities.
In FY2022, NIH spent $33.3 billion of its total $45.2 billion appropriation for competing and noncompeting grant awards. This is a 3.1% increase (or $1.02 billion) in spending over the p...

Recommendations for Proactively Addressing Authorship Disputes
In my research days, there was a time when a colleague did not want to be an author on one of our papers. They contributed to the work but disagreed with parts of the draft manuscript. It was an honest disagreement, one that we discussed professionally. I was not offended and could see where they were coming from. Long story short, we agreed they would not be an author on the final submitted paper, and life went on.
Sometimes disagreements about authorship cannot be avoided, and many have likely seen it up close. They can be handled thoughtfully and appropriately. But when they are not, they may lead to serious consequence...

New Resources Available on Submitting Good Cause Extension Requests for Results Reporting to ClinicalTrials.gov
Do you have questions about when it’s allowable to request an extension of the deadline for submitting clinical trial results information to ClinicalTrials.gov, how to request an extension, what to include, and how the requests are evaluated? A recently published resource, Clinical Trials Results Information Submission: Good Cause Extension Request Process and Criteria (announced in NOT-OD-23-080), explains all this and more.
The Final Rule for Clinical Trials Registration and Results Information Submission (“the Final Rule”) states that in general, the standard submission deadline for clinical trials results i...

Share Your Thoughts on How to Re-envision NIH Supported Postdoctoral Training
Post-docs – and those of you who interact and work with post-docs: We want to hear from you!
In November 2022, NIH announced the creation of a new Working Group (WG) to the Advisory Committee to the Director (ACD) on re-envisioning NIH-supported post-doctoral training. The most recent concerns surrounding post-doctoral (“post-doc”) training involve numbers, including the numbers of post-docs and the number of available tenure-track faculty positions. Recent data from NSF suggest a substantial decline in post-doc numbers, coming at a time of pandemic stresses, global economic disruptions, and concerns surrounding sala...

How Do I Budget Effort for Personnel Whose Duties Are Included and Budgeted as Part of the Data Management and Sharing Plan?
All costs for data management and sharing activities, including personnel costs, must be included in the single line item on the R&R Budget Form in section F. Other Direct Costs. This includes the salary and fringe benefits corresponding to the time it takes personnel to undertake data activities (e.g., formatting, curating, developing supporting documentation).
Do not include personnel costs related to data management and sharing activities in section A. Senior/Key Person or section B. other Personnel.
Supporting details, including a breakdown of any personnel effort, must be included in the budget justification.

Take Advantage of Our Many Resources for Enhancing the Rigor of Animal Research
“Despite the numerous successes stemming from animal research, concerning reports over the past decade have described biomedical experiments that fail to replicate or to translate in ways that improve human health. All research is not expected to translate to human treatments, as there is no perfect model. Scientific process is as much about failure as it is about success. Yet part of the scientific process is also continual improvement, which includes working to understand what might contribute to unexpected outcomes within animal research.”
The Advisory Committee to the NIH Director (ACD) expressed that view in their...
