I provided guidance to our grantee community through a direct email to principal investigators, signing officials at institutions with active awards, and reviewers. That guidance is also available in … Continue reading “Federal Government Shut-down”

Investigators need to include information on research participant sex/gender, race, and ethnicity when submitting new applications, competing renewal applications, and progress reports (non-competing renewals.)
