Grants Policy and Compliance

Hello and welcome to another edition of NIH’s All About Grants podcast. I’m your host David Kosub with the NIH’s Office of Extramural Research. We recognize that to address public health concerns, science must be empirical, replicable, and rigorous. We know that the biomedical and behavioral research community considers these factors too when preparing, performing, and publishing their research. In January 2016, NIH established a policy to continue strengthening these precepts of rigor and reproducibility in the research that we support. And that’s what brings us here today.

From funding available for childcare costs to extensions of early-stage investigator (ESI) status, NIH supports various programs and policies fostering a balanced work and family life. These Family Friendly Initiatives are the focus for our next NIH All About Grants podcast (MP3 / Transcript).
