We are determined to make access to and expertise in cloud computing more widely available across the NIH research community. For those interested in using cloud technology without making an initial long-term commitment, NIH Cloud Lab enables researchers to try cloud capabilities at no cost in a secure, NIH-approved environment.
We are pleased to announce updates to Institutional Training Grant applications and required data tables, beginning with submissions due on or after January 25, 2025. The changes are intended to reduce applicant and reviewer burden, and further support the development of a biomedical research workforce that will benefit from the full range of perspectives, experiences and backgrounds needed to advance discovery.

We want to remind the research community about relevant NIH inclusion policies and resources, as well as where inclusion data can be found. Appropriate inclusion of research participants ensures that NIH supports science that will inform clinical practice to benefit all who are affected by the disease or condition under study.

We are committed to ensuring accountability and transparency of NIH research spending. To this end, we are sharing how we review and adapt our methodologies to provide accurate reports of NIH expenditures for NIH Research, Condition, and Disease Categorization (RCDC) categories.

To avoid the pitfalls that inconsistent use of terms can lead to, NIH and FDA developed a glossary of terms related to clinical research that could be used to assist the research community in effectively communicating about clinical trials. NIH and FDA are most interested in hearing community feedback on the utility of the glossary in its goal of promoting effective communications. Comments will be accepted until June 24, 2024.

In 2021, we showed that the age at which a researcher is designated on an NIH award for the first time had increased since 1995 and plateaued in the 2010s, and that age differences were most correlated with the terminal degree of the investigator. Today we are sharing an update on these data for FYs 2021-2023, including information related to degree, gender, race, ethnicity, and disability status.

We are committed to sustaining the vitality of the future biomedical research workforce, including providing appropriate support and addressing the many challenges faced by postdoctoral scholars in biomedicine. As part of this commitment, we are pleased to announce stipend and childcare subsidy increases for the over 17,000 early career scholars supported on NIH Kirschstein National Research Service Awards.

We previously showed that the inequalities in the distribution of Research Project Grant funding to principal investigators increased, especially at the top end of funding, during the NIH budget doubling and the first few years after the 2013 budget sequestration. The degree of inequality appeared to fall, however, after NIH implemented the Next Generation Researchers Initiative. Here we present follow-up data that shows that the trends seen in recent years appear to be continuing in fiscal year 2023.

NIH is implementing multiple changes that will impact the preparation and peer review of most grant applications submitted to NIH for due dates on or after January 25, 2025. Although each of these initiatives have specific goals, they are all meant to simplify, clarify, or ensure greater fairness.
