How Virtual Convenings Can Enhance Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility
Marie A. Bernard, M.D., NIH Chief Officer for Scientific Workforce Diversity.
Guest post by Marie A. Bernard, M.D., NIH Chief Officer for Scientific Workforce Diversity, originally posted on the NIH Chief Officer for Scientific Workforce Diversity Office Blog.
In the COSWD Office, we continually explore ways to foster inclusive excellence in the biomedical research enterprise. As such, I have decided to hold all COSWD seminars, conferences, and meetings entirely online throughout 2022.
The COVID-19 pandemic-induced shift to online events has led to a growing body of research on the impacts of virtual scientific convening...

DEIA and COSWD Strategic Plan RFIs
Marie A. Bernard, M.D., NIH Chief Officer for Scientific Workforce Diversity.
As you have hopefully seen, NIH is focused on identifying and addressing challenges and threats to equity across systems and populations. This is demonstrated by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities and numerous NIH offices focused on diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) (Office of Research on Women’s Health; Tribal Health Research Office; Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office, and the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion [EDI]), including the establishment of the Chief Officer for S...

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...
