2022: A Year in Review
This past year, 2022, has been an eventful one. Our policies and programs supporting the future biomedical workforce led to a record number of newly funded early-stage investigators and to many fellows and trainees receiving childcare cost reimbursements. Our focus on integrity and transparency and objectivity in NIH-supported research continued, bolstered by White House guidance on research security and researcher responsibilities. We now require stronger recipient notifications, safety plans for NIH-supported conferences, and behavioral codes of conduct as part of ending the culture of harassment in biomedical science. L...
