Public Health Surveillance Activities Deemed Not to Be Research
The revised Common Rule identifies certain public health surveillance activities as being excluded from applicability of the Common Rule. Although we anticipate that the determination of NIH-funded research qualifying as a public health surveillance activity will be extremely rare, NIH will have a process for requesting use of this exclusion. Important things for applicants to keep in mind: Write your application and plan your budget as though the exclusion request will not be approved Notify your NIH Program Official/Program Director if you intend to submit the public health surveillance exclusion request as early as pos...

More Data on Applications Submitted During the Pandemic
Twice since the onset of the public health emergency we have taken a look at the number of research applications submitted together with some demographic information on the affiliated scientists (see this July 2020 post for data on the May-June timeframe and this June 2021 post for the January to April timeframe). It was interesting, and maybe a bit reassuring, that there were no particularly marked changes seen in the demographics of designated PI’s on R01-equivalent and research project grant (RPG) applications even one year into the pandemic. We are continuing to follow this analysis again here, focusing on NIH R01-eq...
