[Flex] FW: NIH Update: Maximizing Fairness in Peer Review, Changes to the Biosketch, Inclusion Data Management System

Wed Jun 4 09:14:27 EDT 2014

Dear All,

Below is an email from NIH regarding a variety of items. I would like to point specifically to the changes on the NIH BioSketch. At this point it is only in pilot stage for some funding opportunities. I will let you all know when it will be used NIH wide. While I recognize that many of you (if not most) do not submit to NIH, I thought I should bring it to everyone$B!G(Bs attention. The list is not all inclusive so please feel free to share this information with anyone you would like to. Attached is a sample being used in pilot tests. Please call if you have any questions. I$B!G(Bd be more than happy to try and answer them or find out the answer.

Regards,

Olga

We want you to know NIH is working on multiple fronts to get to the bottom of unexplained racial disparities in R01 grant funding and to maximize fairness in NIH peer review. Since the problems and the solutions are bigger than NIH, we have reached out to the scientific community and other concerned citizens for help. Now armed with a team of experts and a set of new initiatives, we$B!G(Bd like to tell you about our efforts to address this important issues -- particularly an exciting opportunity for you to submit your input. $B!D(B.

We$B!G(Bre set for a major change in how you portray your body of work when applying for NIH funds. With strong support from NIH leadership, we will be rolling out a new biosketch format. The new NIH biosketch emphasizes your accomplishments instead of just a list of publications, which, as previously discussed, we questioned as the best way to showcase your scientific contributions. $B!D(B.

You likely saw the recent Nature policy article, in which NIH Director Francis Collins and NIH Office of Research on Women$B!G(Bs Health Director Janine Clayton discussed ways that NIH is addressing sex differences in research. As our understanding of science evolves, so do our policies that govern research. This commentary cites several studies that highlight the need to further consider sex differences in preclinical research and describes how NIH will enact new policies to expand the consideration of sex differences in research studies using animal models and cells. The article generated quite a buzz in the community, and I wanted to take this opportunity to explain the roll out of our implementation plan. $B!D(B.

A new system for reporting and managing your clinical research inclusion data is on its way.
