Final Report on Reducing Administrative Burdens Associated with Research Involving Laboratory Animals
This report, called for in the 21st Century Cures Act, is the
culmination of more than two years of diligent work to address inconsistent and
overlapping policies governing oversight of research involving animals, while ensuring research findings remain
credible and research institutions safeguard animal welfare.
Regulations and
policies overseeing federally-sponsored research help ensure NIH remains a
responsible steward of public funds. This extends to properly enforcing the
public’s expectation on how laboratory animals will be used in biomedical
research, teaching, and testing. Many stakeholders have pointe...

Linking ORCID Identifiers to eRA Profiles to Streamline Application Processes and to Enhance Tracking of Career Outcomes
Enter once, reuse often. That’s the mantra of ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor Identification), a non-profit organization that promotes the use of its unique digital identifier to connect researchers with their science contributions over time and across changes of name, location and institutional affiliation.
It’s a mantra that ties in well with NIH’s goal of finding ways to reduce the administrative burden on investigators of entering the same information in multiple places when applying to different funding agencies. It’s what propelled NIH and other agencies to develop a tool, SciENcv, to enable researc...

Celebrating Women ’s History Month: Scientist Spotlight
Women’s History Month quiz question (and no “Googling” allowed): Who was Joan Procter?
I didn’t know either until a few months ago when I learned that my colleague, Dr. Patricia Valdez, wrote a children’s book, called “Joan Procter, Dragon Doctor.” Alfred A Knopf published Patricia’s and her illustrator Felicita Sala’s book a few weeks ago, on March 13, 2018. Critics have already acclaimed the work: Publisher’s Weekly in a starred review wrote, “Valdez paints a portrait of a unique woman whose love for reptiles developed into a gratifying career.”
So, who was Joan Procter? She was born in ...

Clarifying Percent Effort and Support for Career Development (K) Awardees
In response to questions about career development (K) award policies, NIH issued a Guide Notice NOT-OD-17-094, to clarify percent effort requirements for K award principal investigators (PIs), and acceptable sources of research support. We’d like to provide some additional details to put the recent Guide Notice in context with existing K award policies on percent effort.
For most K award programs, the K award PI (K awardee) must commit at the minimum 9 person months, equivalent to 75% full-time professional effort, directly to their research project. The remaining effort (up to 25%) can be devoted to additional research,...
