Share Your Thoughts with NIH on Its Plan to Enhance Public Access to the Results of NIH-Supported Research
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is requesting public input on its plan to enhance public access to results from its supported research. New guidance from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) requires improving public access to scholarly publications and data resulting from Federally supported research. NIH seeks input on the plan to ensure equity in publication opportunities, steps for improving equity in access and accessibility of publications, and metadata tracking of research products. The NIH's efforts align with public access directives, policies, and programs across the US government. You can submit your feedback here through April 24, 2023.

This Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences encourages applications for support of conferences focused on evidence-informed interventions to enhance training, workforce development and diversity in the biomedical research enterprise. The dissemination of knowledge through conferences stimulates hypothesis-driven inquiry into evidence-informed approaches in biomedical research education and training, workforce development, and diversity. Conferences represent a valuable opportunity for practitioners, researchers, and other consumers of evidence-informed approaches to interact, collaborate, share experiences and solutions, and to learn from experts within, across, and outside their professional fields.
Deadline: April 12, 2023

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit P20 planning grant applications for Climate Change and Health Research Centers (CCHRCs). This program will support the development of a transdisciplinary research environment to sustain a program of fundamental and applied research to examine the impacts of climate change on health and to develop action-oriented solutions to protect the health of individuals, communities, and nations from the hazards posed by climate change. This opportunity will allow development of new research teams collaborating with communities and other partners to develop projects that generate data that will build or expand research capacity across a range of thematic scientific areas in support of the four core elements of the NIH’s Initiative in climate heath research: health effects research, health equity, intervention research, and training and capacity building (https://www.nih.gov/sites/default/files/research-training/initiatives/climate-change/nih-climate-change-framework.pdf).
Deadline: May 1, 2023

The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The overarching goal of this R25 program is to support educational activities that complement and/or enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nation’s biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support innovative educational activities with a primary focus on Mentoring Activities and in particular, mentoring networks. Networks may be national or regional. All proposed networks should provide significant new opportunities, and should comprise efforts substantially beyond any ongoing mentoring, networking, or research education within academic programs, institutions, or pre-existing networks; or educational collaborations among institutions. Participants in proposed mentoring networks are limited to graduate/medical students, medical residents, postdoctoral scholars, and/or early-career investigators. Proposed networks are expected to enhance the participants' professional development and to foster their career trajectory towards independent mental health research. Proposed programs are thus expected to contribute to the development of a skilled cadre of investigators in requisite scientific research areas to advance the objectives of the NIMH Strategic Plan.
Deadline: May 25, 2023

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) provides support to eligible, domestic institutions to develop and implement Postbaccalaureate Research Education Programs in Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases (DDEMD). These post-baccalaureate research programs will incorporate extensive research experiences and well-designed courses for skills development to prepare recent college graduates from diverse backgrounds to transition into and complete rigorous, research-focused biomedical doctoral degree programs (e.g., Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D.). The long-term goal of post-baccalaureate participants admitted to the program should be pursuing a career focused on DDEMD-related research. Eligible applicants for the R25 must be research-intensive doctoral degree-granting institutions with a research base in DDEMD science of at least $3 million in direct costs of peer-reviewed research projects, and research opportunities for students admitted to the program must be in DDEMD science.
Deadline: October 25, 2023
