Several noteworthy enhancements have recently been made to the NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tool (RePORT), a central point of access to reports, data, and analyses of NIH research activities, including information on NIH expenditures and the results of NIH-supported research.
The NIH Public Access Policy remains a legislative mandate for FY2009 and beyond. Per the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009, investigators funded by the NIH must submit an electronic version of their final, peer-reviewed manuscripts upon acceptance for publication so that these documents may be made freely available no more than 12 months after they are officially published.
Several changes made to the NIH Public Access Policy webpage reflect this development and seek to provide resources for the research community.

Help reviewers find exactly what they are looking for in your research plan by breaking your proposal down according to the primary review criteria: significance, investigator(s), innovation, approach, and environment. Begin each section with clear, descriptive headers that effectively frame your research plan.

What a wonderful day for biomedical research, and what a privilege it is for the NIH both to create jobs and to fund excellent science. To President Obama, the 111th US Congress, and the American people, thank you. We are truly grateful to be part of such a historic effort.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) gives a total of $10.4 billion to the National Institutes of Health that we will need to expend by September 2010. $8.2 billion of this will be devoted to research funding. $1 billion is allocated to construction and renovation of extramural research facilities and another $300 million goes to the acquisition of shared instrumentation and other capital research equipment.

NIH is quickly addressing how it will most effectively spend the $10.4 billion designated by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to promote science, bolster the economy, and create or retain jobs in as transparent a manner as possible. Within the parameters of the legislation, NIH expects to allocate resources across several major activities, including the awarding of recently peer-reviewed, highly meritorious R01 applications, new R01 and other activity codes that have a reasonable expectation of making progress within two years, competitive supplements to expand the scope of current research or support additional infrastructure, non-competitve supplements to accelerate the tempo of on-going science, the new NIH Challenge Grant program, and other funding mechanisms as appropriate.

Looking for funding opportunities through the Recovery Act? NIH has created a Web site that consolidates Recovery Act-specific initiatives for your convenience. These opportunities, also published on Grants.gov and in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts, can be easily identified by the titles that begin with “Recovery Act.” The following initiatives have already been published. More will be coming in the near future.

As NIH continues to work on the changes resulting from the Enhancing Peer Review activities, we are committed to providing the community with as much information as possible about the changes in progress. To this end, we have produced a short (<15 minute) video describing the changes, have compiled a list of frequently asked questions and answers (FAQs), have continued to add information to the Web site, and have developed fact sheets on impact of the changes on applicants and impact on reviewers. These resources and more can be found Enhancing Peer Review Web site at http://enhancing-peer-review.nih.gov/.

Dr. Rodney Ulane is here to listen. He will be listening to the thoughts and concerns of the biomedical research community along with the 27 Institutes and Centers of the NIH, and he will be bringing those thoughts back home to the NIH’s Office of Extramural Research (OER). What he learns will allow OER to craft and fine-tune training grant opportunities that more effectively foster and sustain successful research careers.

Now you can get fast access to NIH funding opportunities through Twitter and XML. Applicants and applicant institutions can now track grant opportunities through the social networking site Twitter and an XML feed that updates nightly to reflect the latest information on active funding opportunities.
