Data on Researchers ’ Self-Reported Disability Status
Ensuring a strong and diverse workforce is a top priority for NIH. To this end, we regularly assess the sex/gender, race, and ethnicity of NIH-supported researchers to better understand the composition of our workforce and participation in our programs. Investigators may self-report their disability status along with these other demographic characteristics on their eRA personal profile. This allows us to learn more about researchers with disabilities in the NIH-supported scientific workforce. Not only is this of interest to NIH, but many in the community have also asked us about this as well. This post presents some of the...

OMB Expiration Dates on Application Forms To Be Updated Soon
Grants.gov and NIH are working hard to complete preparations for our transition to FORMS-H application packages. Although we’ll be all set well before our January 25, 2023 due dates, you may see some forms in FORMS-H application packages that still show old expiration dates. For example, the Research & Related or R&R forms managed by Grants.gov may still reflect a 12/31/2022 date although they were recently re-approved by the Office of Management and Budget for continued use. Also, the Public Health Services (PHS) application forms NIH updated to support the data sharing policy changes may still reflect the 09/30...

Check for Fit, Before You Submit!
It takes quite a bit of time to prepare and submit a grant application. Imagine spending that time only to find out later that you submitted to the wrong opportunity. Funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) contain a lot of information. Most applicants are very good at reading the FOA description to ensure a good topic fit, but let’s look at a few less obvious items that are often overlooked.
Does your application fit within the mission of one of the participating institutes or centers? If we can’t make an assignment, your application will be withdrawn.
Does your Type of Application (New, Resubmission, Revision, Rene...

Update on Simplifying Review Criteria: A Request for Information
Discussions are underway to incorporate consideration of a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP) and rigorous review of clinical trials RPGs (~10% of RPGs are clinical trials) within the proposed framework.
Simplified Review Criteria
NIH proposes to reorganize the five review criteria into three factors, with Factors 1 and 2 receiving a numerical score. Reviewers will be instructed to consider all three factors (Factors 1, 2 and 3) in arriving at their Overall Impact Score (scored 1-9), reflecting the overall scientific and technical merit of the application.
Factor 1: Importance of the Research (Significance, In...
