NIH State-of-the-Science Conference Statement on preventing violence and related health-risking social behaviors in adolescents.
CONCLUSIONS: The panel highlights the following findings and recommendations: (1) Violence affects all of us at some level and represents an issue of vital national and international importance; (2) Some interventions have been shown by rigorous research to reduce violence precursors, violence, and arrest. However, many interventions aimed at reducing violence have not been sufficiently evaluated or proven effective, and a few widely implemented programs have been shown to be ineffective and perhaps harmful; (3) Programs that seek to prevent violence through fear and tough treatment appear ineffective. Intensive programs t...

Pall of suspicion: NIH ’s secretive ‘China initiative’ has destroyed scores of academic careers
For decades, Chinese-born U.S. faculty members were applauded for working with colleagues in China, and their universities cited the rich payoff from closer ties to the emerging scientific giant. But those institutions did an about-face after they began to receive emails in late 2018 from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). The emails asked some 100 institutions to investigate allegations that one or more of their faculty had violated NIH policies designed to ensure federal funds were being spent properly. Most commonly, NIH claimed a researcher was using part of a grant to do work in China through an undisc...

The relationship between emotion regulation strategies and job search behavior among fourth-year university students
This study investigated the effect of emotion regulation strategies on job search behavior in combination with anxiety and job search self-efficacy among Chinese university fourth-year students (N = 816, mean age = 21.98, 31.5% male, 34.9% majored in science, 18.0% from “211 Project” universities). Results showed that cognitive reappraisal was positively related to job search behavior, while expressive suppression was negatively related to job search behavior. Additionally, anxiety was negatively related to job search behavior, while job search self-efficacy was positively associated with job search behavior. Moreo...

NIH Challenges Academia to Share Strategies to Strengthen Gender Diversity
Has your school made an important contribution to helping women become leaders in their field? Maybe your department made noticeable strides recently in diversifying the gender and race or ethnicity of its workforce? What about your institution’s response to reversing the “backward slide” experienced by women in biomedicine because of COVID-19? Well, tell us about it! Your institution could improve leadership prospects for women in science—and win a prize. On behalf of the NIH Working Group on Women in Biomedical Careers, the NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health has launched a new challenge competition to pro...

Long-Term Trends in the Age of Principal Investigators Supported for the First Time on NIH R01-Equivalent Awards
The R01 (or R01-equivalent) grant has traditionally been a critical component to the launch of one’s research career. A number of academic leaders have described and expressed concerns about the age at which scientists are first supported on an R01 award (“age at first R01”). The biomedical research workforce is aging over the past several decades due to demographic trends and the end of mandatory retirement in academia.  Difficulties faced by early-career investigators may include prolonged training, advantages of incumbency, and cost-shifting to universities. We have heard these concerns too, and recognize the pot...

NIH awards $15M for 3D human tissue models
[Image from Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, Harvard University]The National Institutes of Health has announced 13 2-year awards, totaling $15 million a year, for hospitals and universities to develop 3D human tissue models. The funding will go toward the first phase of a 5-year program. Even though pre-clinical studies using cell and animal research models are promising, more than 60% of investigational drugs fail in human trials because of ineffectiveness. The NIH hopes to change that with the funding by developing 3D microphysiological system platforms that replicate human disease. The platforms, kn...

Antidepressants for hip and knee osteoarthritis
CONCLUSIONS: There is high-certainty evidence that use of antidepressants for knee osteoarthritis leads to a non-clinically important improvement in mean pain and function. However, a small number of people will have a 50% or greater important improvement in pain and function. This finding was consistent across all trials. Pain in osteoarthritis may be due to a variety of causes that differ between individuals. It may be that the cause of pain that responds to this therapy is only present in a small number of people. There is moderate-certainty evidence that antidepressants have a small positive effect on quality of life w...

Performance Assessment of Communicable Disease Surveillance in Disasters: A Systematic Review
Conclusion Performance assessment is an integral component of the management of all organizations and the lack of performance assessment is considered a significant sign of weakness in an organization. Therefore, the lack of accepted mechanisms for the assessment of the performance of CDS systems in response to disasters is an important weakness. Although some studies attempted to assess surveillance systems, the results of this systematic literature review suggest that there is no clear and comprehensive assessment framework in place. While the CDC framework has been used in some studies, it is not specific for SS in resp...

Retention versus sacrifice of the posterior cruciate ligament in total knee arthroplasty for treating osteoarthritis.
CONCLUSIONS: The methodological quality and the quality of reporting of the studies were highly variable. With respect to range of motion, pain, clinical, and radiological outcomes, no clinically relevant differences were found between total knee arthroplasty with retention or sacrifice of the posterior cruciate ligament. Two statistically significant differences were found; range of motion was 2.4 ° higher in the posterior cruciate ligament sacrificing group, however results were heterogeneous; and the mean functional Knee Society Score was 2.3 points higher in the posterior cruciate ligament sacrificing group. These dif...
