Application

Considering Language Access for Participants in NIH-Supported Clinical Research

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.

Why Would NIH Withdraw an 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We understand it can be quite stressful to hear NIH has withdrawn your submitted grant application before it went to peer review. In this NIH All About Grants podcast episode, we will get into why and how applications may be administratively withdrawn.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.

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. 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?
