Application

This episode of the NIH All About Grants podcast explores language access for participants in NIH supported clinical research. Ms. Melissa McGowan, the Deputy Director of the Office of Clinical Research within the National Institute on Aging’s Division of Extramural Activities, and Ms. Dawn Corbett, NIH’s Inclusion Policy Officer, will explain how to consider language access when proposing research in a grant application.

We understand it can be quite stressful to hear NIH has withdrawn your submitted grant application before it went to peer review. In this NIH All About Grants podcast episode, we will get into why and how applications may be administratively withdrawn. Dr. Ray Jacobson, the Acting Director of the Division of Receipt and Referral at the Center for Scientific Review, walks us through the process.

Milestone driven awards allow NIH to support riskier biomedical research projects. Unlike traditional research project grants many researchers may be familiar with, these awards have interim check-points (also referred to as “phases”) where progress towards achieving the objectives of the award are assessed.

Your application was submitted on time. the study section meeting is coming. But, you just got some new information that may be helpful for the application. Can you include it? Dr.

Your application was "not discussed." What does this actually mean? What should you do next?

We are discussing Not Discussed in this NIH All About Grants podcast episode. Dr. Gene Carstea, a Review Branch Chief at the Center for Scientific Review, will share insights on the NIH peer review process, how many applications are not discussed, reasons why, who to contact, appealing a not discussed decision, and much more.

In this NIH All About Grants podcast episode, we share advice for investigators to help them understand the critiques of their application, and how program staff input may be helpful when deciding what to do next. Drs.

This NIH All About Grants podcast episode walks through the timelines you should keep in mind when preparing an NIH grant application. Avery Tucker and Kasima Garst from the Office of Policy for Extramural Research Administration within the NIH’s Office of Extramural Research join us for this conversation.

You may have heard that NIH can provide limited, interim research support for applications with creative and innovative approaches that fell just outside the payline. These “bridge awards” are helpful for researchers to gather additional data to revise their current application. But, how do we decide on which applications to support this way?

Inclusion plans. You have questions. We have answers. NIH’s Inclusion Policy Officer Dawn Corbett covers inclusion plans during peer review and post-award in Part 2 of this NIH All About Grants podcast miniseries. Want to know what is scientifically appropriate as it relates to inclusion, and how reviewers are looking at it? What about the ins and outs on progress reporting? And if you have concerns about enrollment in your funded study, what should you do? Well, as a start, put on your earbuds and listen.

Inclusion plans. You have questions. We have answers. What exactly are they? How do they relate to NIH’s policies requiring specific populations be included in NIH-supported clinical research? What do they mean for your application? And, what is an inclusion table anyway? In Part 1 of this NIH All About Grants podcast miniseries, NIH’s Inclusion Policy Officer Dawn Corbett tells us how to consider inclusion plans when putting together your application.
