NIH Inclusion Data by Research and Disease Category Now Available
This reporting step continues our move towards enhancing transparency and accountability of the research we support. As part of implementing the 21st Century Cures Act and responding to recommendations from the Government Accountability Office, public reporting by NIH Research, Condition, and Disease Classification (RCDC) category helps ensure that women and minorities are appropriately included in biomedical research across a diverse array of diseases and conditions. At a recent meeting of the NIH Advisory Committee on Research on Women’s Health (go to 02:45), where this announcement was made, we also reported that ...

Upcoming Change in Federal-wide Unique Entity Identifier Requirements
Currently when applying for Federal grants or cooperative
agreements, all applicant organizations must have a DUNS number as the
Universal Identifier. The General Services Administration (GSA) recently
announced that DUNS will be replaced by a new Government-owned unique entity
identifier in all systems, including Grants.gov and eRA Commons. The new
government unique identifier will be incorporated into the SAM registration process,
eliminating the need for applicants to seek external identifiers in order to
register.
The transition is ongoing, and more information on this to
come as NIH learns more.

Update on NIH ’s Efforts to Address Sexual Harassment in Science
Discussions from both the NIH Anti-Harassment Committee and the ACD Working Group strongly endorsed an ethos of transparency and accountability to demonstrate the agency’s serious commitment to addressing harassment and deterring future inappropriate behavior. To bolster that transparency and accountability, we want to be clear that NIH has not and will not just look the other way when accusations come to our attention. In 2018, NIH followed up on sexual harassment-related concerns at more than two dozen institutions resulting in the replacement of 14 principal investigators named on NIH grant awards, disciplinary action...

Limited Competition: Nonhuman Primate (NHP) Radiation Survivor Cohort (RSC) (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-AI-19-010 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this limited competition Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support continued care for and conduct of specialized research using a unique nonhuman primate (NHP) population. Specifically, the preservation, medical monitoring, study, treatment, and intervention in the development of late effects in NHP survivors of radiation exposure. NHPs most closely resemble human responses to radiation exposure and, as such, long-term studies on a radiation survivor cohort will permit continuous observations and treatment of this va...

NIH Implementation of the Final Rule on the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects (Common Rule)
NIH has issued initial guidance on the implementation of the Revised Common Rule NOT-OD-19-050.
The effective date for the amended regulation is January 21, 2019. It applies to studies initiated on or after this date, and ongoing studies that voluntarily transitioned to the Revised Common Rule, including those that implemented the three burden-reducing provisions during the delay period (July 19, 2018 through January 20, 2019).
Key changes that may impact NIH studies include the following:
NIH will no longer require Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) to review entire grant applications and contract proposals related to ...

Charting Your Small Business ’ Course with NIH
At NIH, we maintain a broad and diverse portfolio of biomedical and behavioral research. To turn discovery into health, promising technologies must move from the laboratory into clinical trials, into the marketplace, into the doctor’s office, and into our every-day lives. A key way to transition promising technologies out of the laboratory is through the commercialization process.
Small businesses help to achieve this commercialization goal. By strategically aligning research resources in academic settings with the dedicated funding for small businesses that Congress established decades ago, NIH can reduce the barriers t...

If You Run Into SAM Registration Processing Delays, We ’ ve Got Your Back
GSA now requires entities who are updating or renewing their SAM registration to provide an original, signed and notarized letter stating that the organizational official registering the organization is the authorized administrator. The new process is slowing processing time for registrations and GSA is unable to provide estimated processing time frames. NIH encourages applicants and recipients with existing SAM accounts to review their account information and begin the renewal process well in advance of the expiration date, to ensure all renewals are competed on time. But if you started early and the registration pro...

The Issue that Keeps Us Awake at Night
The most important resource for the successful future of biomedical research is not buildings, instruments, or new technologies – it’s the scientists doing the work. But by now, it’s no longer news that biomedical researchers are stressed – stressed by a hypercompetitive environment that’s particularly destructive for early- and mid-career investigators. But those are the researchers who, if we don’t lose them, will comprise the next generation of leaders and visionaries. Almost 10 years ago, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) took steps to improve funding opportunities for “early stage investigatorsâ€...
