Human Subjects Research:
Specific instructions are provided for the use of human subjects in research, including new format pages for Women and Minority Inclusion enrollment.
Vertebrate Animals:
Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) approval of proposed research involving vertebrate animals is no longer required before an application will be accepted for peer review. As part of the peer review process, the peer review group will continue to address the adequacy of animal usage and protections in applications; however, IACUC approval is required only on a "just-in-time" basis before an award can be made. See the August 8, 2003 NIH Guide Notice (OD-02-064) for more details on this policy change. It can be found at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-02-064.html.
Responsible Conduct of Research: (Revised April 14, 2003 - See Section I.C, Item 30e of the instructions).
While NIH does not establish specific curricula or formal requirements, applicants are encouraged to creatively tailor a plan to meet their own needs in relation to the proposed research training. It may include participating in formal activities like established courses as either an instructor or a student (for-credit or non-credit), or informal activities such as discussion groups. Suggested areas could include conflict of interest, responsible authorship, policies for handling misconduct, data management, data sharing, policies regarding the use of animals and/or human subjects, and institutional vs. individual responsibilities for scientific integrity.
Application Receipt Dates: (Revised April 14, 2003 - See Section II.A.3 of the instructions.)
