NIH All About Grants Podcast – Sex As a Biological Variable
Dr. Chyren Hunter, Associate Director for Basic and Translational Research,NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health
NIH expects that sex as a biological variable (SABV) will be factored into research designs, analyses, and reporting in pre-clinical and clinical studies. Accounting for SABV helps interpret and validate research findings, as well as enhances the rigor, reproducibility, and applicability of biomedical research. But how exactly do you account for SABV?
Dr. Chyren Hunter with the NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health explains more in this NIH All About Grants podcast episode (MP3 / Transcript). She out...

NIH All About Grants Podcast: Animal Welfare Assurances
Dr. Jane Na, Director of Division of Assurances, OLAW, NIH
Institutions receiving funds from Public Health Service (PHS) agencies such as NIH must conduct research in accordance with the PHS Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. As part of this process, institutions must have an approved animal welfare assurance on file with the NIH Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare (OLAW) in order to receive PHS support on activities involving animals. But what exactly does this process entail?
This NIH All About Grants podcast episode delves into what you should consider when working with OLAW in obtaining an animal welf...

Farewell 2021, Time to Bring in 2022
It has been quite a year. Francis Collins, NIH Director for over 12 years, stepped down after an extraordinary tenure, a tenure marked by “a calm hand, a scientific mind, and a deep commitment to the well-being of all Americans.” The stresses and ongoing uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic continued in almost roller-coaster like fashion; at this writing, we are in the midst of the Omicron surge. As some COVID-19 grant-related flexibilities remain in place, anxieties persist about intermediate- and long-term effects of the pandemic on research productivity, mental health, financial well-being, and family responsibiliti...

What ’s New with the NIH Loan Repayment Programs: FY 2022 Applications, Anniversaries, and a New Program
Two decades ago, NIH launched a duo of loan repayment programs (LRPs) to recruit and retain qualified health professionals into research on health disparities. Now, as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Health Disparities Research LRP (LRP-HDR) and Clinical Research LRP for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds (LRP-IDB), we wanted to share some data, highlight a new extramural LRP, and send a reminder that the LRP application cycle opens on September 1st.
At the start of the LRP-HDR in fiscal year (FY) 2001, NIH funded $3.1 million towards the program, supporting 28 awards (Figure 1). All funding data presented...
