Institute and Center Award Rates and Funding Disparities
In 2011, Ginther et al. first demonstrated that African American and Black applicants to the National Institutes of Health received grant awards at a lower rate than their white counterparts (Ginther 2011). Since then, multiple studies have reproduced and extended this finding (Ginther 2011; Ginther 2016; Hoppe 2019; Erosheva 2020). Recently we reported that African American and Black (AAB) PIs are more likely to propose research on topics that are less likely  to be funded (Hoppe 2019). We found that topic choice has little or no effect on whether an application is chosen for discussion, but after consideri...

Using Human Cell Animal Chimera Brains to Study HIV Latency and Pathology R01 - Clinical Trials Not Allowed
Funding Opportunity RFA-DA-21-026 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Recent technical advancements have enabled generating human cell-mice chimeric brains by engrafting human iPSC-derived primitive neural progenitor cells and/or cord blood-derived microglial progenitor cells into neonatal mouse. In the chimeric brain, human neural progenitor cells or microglial cells differentiate, migrate, and distribute throughout the mouse brain. They are eventually functionally integrated into various brain regions. Such successes provide opportunities to define the structure, function, genetics and plasticity of functiona...
