An updated look at the funding gaps between white and black applicants for NIH’s R01 awards.
Despite efforts to promote diversity there remains a lower rate of funding of R01 applications submitted by African-American/black scientists relative to white scientists.
NIH is continuing to add new resources to their COVID-19: Information for NIH Applicants and Recipients of NIH Funding webpage. We hope they are helpful in helping you navigate this unprecedented situation.
The NIH is soliciting public input on proposed key provisions that could serve as the foundation for a future NIH policy for data management and sharing. Comments using the process described in the document above will be accepted until December 10, 2018. The American Heart Association has drafted a very comprehensive response to the Proposed Provisions for a Future Draft Data Management and Sharing Policy. You are welcome to modify these for your own response to the NIH RFI.
This session discussed the potential benefits of researchers choosing a career in industry over an academic career. Do funders consider this career choice a successful outcome, and recognize that it can be another equally valuable career path? If so, are there ways funders can facilitate this transition to more effectively advance the funder’s mission? A former grantee shared personal experience in transitioning to industry and discuss the benefits of working in industry; plus highlighting the importance of organizations supporting academic researchers as they consider a transition to a career in industry. Other HRA panelists shared ways their organizations support this... read more →
This session explored the intricacies of supporting research through effective partnerships. Through speakers and breakout discussion, we showcased effective models–from ongoing funder collaboratives to one-off partnerships–and identify best practices and challenges. Attendees left the session with insights and tips for exploring opportunities for collaboration. Panelists presented real-life examples of successful collaborations that have contributed to advancing biomedical research. Panelists discussed practical tips on how to find and set up successful partnerships–from defining a shared vision for success, developing strategies for leveraging resources and expertise, and evolving partnerships over time. Following the panel discussion, we facilitated smaller breakout groups for a... read more →
Tuesday October 17, 12:45pm-1:45pm CT This session discussed the use of alternative measures to track success in evaluating and highlighting the impact of grant funding – both during the grant term and post award. During this session we learned strategies for collecting data from grantees and alumni to tracking research progress, and professional transitions. HRA member organizations shared measures they use to track success and how they collect that data.
