Webinar Available on Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments (ARRIVE)
As part of our efforts to strengthen rigor of NIH-supported research involving animal models, the NIH Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare recently hosted an informative webinar that provided an overview of the ARRIVE Essential 10, how each relates to study quality, and how to operationalize them for inclusion in research protocols and grant proposals. The “Essential 10” are statistically-based items essential for ensuring study rigor and reproducibility. However, reporting is not enough – study quality and reliability can be achieved only if these items are built into the study before data are collected. NIH aims ...

Final Career Stage Analyses of Applications Submitted During the Pandemic (Part 7)
The HHS-declared public health emergency for COVID-19 ended on May 11, 2023 (NOT-OD-23-095). With this milestone, we are also closing out our series of blogs on the distributions of gender and race of designated principal investigators (PIs) of R01 and RPG applications submitted before and after the onset of the pandemic. This final post builds on previous career stage analyses, specifically focusing on applications received between September 8 and May 7 over several consecutive years. Our first four analyses (from April 2022, October 2021, June 2021, and July 2020) did not show any marked changes in...

How Many Researchers: The FY 2022 Cumulative Investigator Rate  
We are pleased to share our annual snapshot of how many researchers NIH supports. These fiscal year (FY) 2022 data are also available in the NIH Data Book (see report #303) and represent awards made with traditional and supplemental coronavirus appropriations. Please keep in mind that these data are distinct from success rates, however, which are application-based metrics (see this post). Our cumulative investigator rate is an NIH-wide person-based metric. The metric is calculated as the number of unique principal investigators who were designated on an NIH research project grant (RPG), activity or mechanism, divided by...
