Animal Welfare Webinar: Foundations for Evaluating Study Design and Statistical Approaches for the IACUC
Do you want more tools to understand good experimental design when reviewing animal use protocols? Watch this informative webinar hosted by the NIH Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare on approaches for the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) to effectively evaluate study design, animal numbers, and statistical descriptions in animal protocols. By focusing on concepts rather than mathematical equations, this webinar is for all IACUC members regardless of scientific or statistical background. (Source: NIH Extramural Nexus)

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...

BRAIN Initiative: Exploratory Research Opportunities Using Invasive Neural Recording and Stimulating Technologies in the Human Brain (R61 Basic Experimental Studies with Humans Required)
Funding Opportunity RFA-DC-24-001 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Invasive surgical procedures offer the opportunity for unique intracranial interventions such as the ability to record and stimulate intracranially within precisely localized brain structures in humans. Human studies using invasive technology are often constrained by a limited number of patients and resources available to implement complex experimental protocols and need to be aggregated in a manner that addresses research questions with appropriate statistical power. Therefore, this RFA seeks applications to assemble diverse, integrated, mul...

NINDS Institutional AD/ADRD Research Training Program (T32 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity PAR-23-113 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this FOA is to provide support for institutional research training programs in Alzheimers Disease/Alzheimers Disease-Related Dementias (AD/ADRD). These institutional research training programs should produce well-trained neuroscientists who leave the program with the research skills and scientific knowledge to make a significant contribution to research on AD/ADRD cognitive impairment and dementia. Programs should be designed to enhance the breadth and depth of training across the spectrum AD/ADRD research areas (e.g. AD, Vascular...

Mentored Career Development Application (K) Funding Rates by Race-Ethnicity FY 2010-FY 2022
Marie A. Bernard, M.D., Chief Officer forScientific Workforce Diversity
In this post, we analyze funding rates for Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 to FY 2022 mentored career development award (K) applicants according to the race-ethnicity of designated Principal Investigators (PIs). Receipt of a career development award often presages R01 receipt. We used data from frozen, official, NIH success rate files. We focus on applicants for K01, K08, K23, K25,and K99 direct budget authority awards.
We obtained data on the race and ethnicity of PIs from their entries into the eRA Commons Personal Profile. As noted by NIH, PIs provide these d...
