More Data on Applications Submitted During the Pandemic
Twice since the onset of the public health emergency we have taken a look at the number of research applications submitted together with some demographic information on the affiliated scientists (see this July 2020 post for data on the May-June timeframe and this June 2021 post for the January to April timeframe). It was interesting, and maybe a bit reassuring, that there were no particularly marked changes seen in the demographics of designated PI’s on R01-equivalent and research project grant (RPG) applications even one year into the pandemic.
We are continuing to follow this analysis again here, focusing on NIH R01-eq...

Multipurpose Prevention Technology: Novel Systemic Options for Young Adults (R43/R44 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
The objective of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support the development of new and innovative long-acting systemic and non-systemic multipurpose prevention technologies (MPT). It supports development of MPTs that prevent HIV infection and pregnancy (hormonal and non-hormonal methods) in adolescent and young women. Applications for MPT development may involve pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), safety and, drug-drug interactions (DDI) studies. It also encourages biobehavioral and behavioral/social studies to identify MPT end user preferences factors (look, feel, effectiveness, safety and duration ...

Further Demographic Analyses of NIH R01 Grant Outcomes of T32 Postdoctoral Participants
Introduction
Postdoctoral NIH T32 programs aim to provide select trainees with experience to enable successful career and research development. In a previous posting, we presented NIH career development, or K award, and R01 equivalent research grant outcomes of participants in post-doctoral T32 programs. We showed that that men with MD-PhD degrees had the highest rates for R01 application submission and award receipt (as PI). Women comprised a greater proportion of trainees over time. Serving as PI on a K-awards predicted a substantially higher rate of later support as PI on R01 awards. Here we present further analyses foc...
