The NIMH has also published updated policies and guidance for all HIV-related grant applications and awards involving human research participants submitted on or after January 25, 2023, and it applies to all FOAs announcements issued by the NIMH.

NOT-MH-22-255 refers to the expectations for investigators of HIV-related research to collect Common Data Elements (CDEs) for human subjects research unless NIMH stipulates otherwise during the negotiation of the terms and conditions of an award. Applicants who do not plan to collect the expected CDEs should provide strong justification in the Data Management and Sharing Plan (see NOT-MH-22-260) included in the application. NIMH may seek further information regarding the collection of CDEs prior to an award.
