Changes to the NIH Biosketches Policy
NIH Improvements to Inclusion Data Reporting and Management Adapted from NIH Extramural Nexus, May 31, 2014 A new system for reporting and managing your clinical research inclusion data for the NIH (National Institutes of Health) is on its way. Currently, grantees report on sex/gender, race, and ethnicity information as required by NIH’s policy on the Inclusion of Women and Minorities in Clinical Research, through the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) or use of paper forms in the PHS 2590. The Inclusion Management System (IMS), a new module that will be a part of the eRA Commons in the fall, will allow you to directly view and update your inclu-sion data through the life of your clinical research award. The IMS will also be integrated with the RPPR for annu-al progress reporting of inclusion data.
This summer the NIH will begin preparing for the transition to this new data system as described in NIH Guide notice NOT-OD-14-086. You will also begin using an updated format for reporting enrollment inclusion data for progress reports with start dates after October 1, 2014. This format allows the NIH to capture inclusion data in a more structured way.
Looking for additional help in understanding how NIH’s inclusion policy works? You may want to check out the NIH inclusion policy website which includes frequently asked questions, a podcast and narrated slide deck on race and ethnicity reporting, and more.
Adapted from NIH Extramural Nexus, May 22, 2014
The NIH (National Institutes of Health) is set for a major change in how you portray your body of work when
applying for NIH funds. They are rolling out a new biosketch format that emphasizes accomplishments instead of
just a list of publications, which was questioned as the best way to showcase scientific contributions.
The new format, completely described on the SF424 (R&R) Applications and Electronic Submission Page, will
allow up to five pages for the entire biosketch, and researchers will be permitted to describe up to five of their most
significant contributions to science, the influence of their contributions on their scientific field, and any subsequent
effects of those contributions on health or technology. The new format also will allow researchers to describe their
specific role in those discoveries and to annotate their description with up to four publications. Additionally,
researchers will be allowed to include a link to their complete list of publications in SciENcv or My Bibliography.
Later this year we will be able to update SciENcv to help researchers collect the information needed to generate
biosketches using the new format, fully positioning NIH to roll out the modified biosketch for all grant applications
received for FY 2016 funding and beyond (which generally refers to applications submitted in early 2015). The
NIH suggests giving SciENcv a try. Setting up your profile and testing it out now can be helpful as you are thinking
about pulling together your biosketch information.
This is an important change for both the biomedical research community and NIH. The NIH has great confidence
that the new biosketch will be the best vehicle for conveying contributions to NIH and peer reviewers.
President Obama announced a new $35 million Department of Education grant competition to train math and
science students as classroom teachers during yesterday's 2014 White House Science Fair. The President also
introduced a major expansion of STEM AmeriCorps to provide learning opportunities for 18,000 low-income
students this summer, and a national STEM mentoring program in seven cities — Philadelphia, Pa., Chicago,
Ill., San Francisco, Calif., Indianapolis, Ind., Wichita, Kan., Allentown, Pa., and Research Triangle Park, N.C. —
sponsored by Cisco Systems, Inc. While details are forthcoming, a basic description of the initiatives can be
found here.
Message from OSP’s Administrative Assistant, Ashley McCarter:
Is higher education “youth-friendly”? As a new generation of leaders emerges in higher education, we need open
dialogue about taking initiative, being innovative and encouraging young talent. To help young professionals have
a successful and satisfying career in higher education we have organized a variety of programs that will allow you
to learn, develop and network with other young professionals within your community.
Join us along with a panel of your peers every month to hear excellent networking tips and career success stories.
Events are sponsored by Grand Valley State University’s Human Resources Career Services for Faculty and Staff
Consultant, Kim Monaghan.

On Wednesday, May 28th, the Obama administration named 12 manufacturing communities throughout the
country that will receive special attention under a new federal program, Investing in Manufacturing Communities
Partnership (IMCP). One of the communities named was Southeastern Michigan, led by the Wayne County
Economic Development Growth Engine. This program originated from the U.S. Department of Commerce's
Economic Development Administration and encourages communities to develop integrated, long-term economic
development strategies. The goal is to strengthen local communities' competitive edge in attracting global
manufacturers and their supply chains by increasing investment and creating jobs. IMCP brings together the
resources of 11 federal departments and agencies that have $1.3 billion in economic development funds to
support these local economic development plans.
The partnership marks another attempt by the administration to boost the US manufacturing industry, which has
suffered since US companies have moved these types of industrial jobs to countries with cheaper labor costs.
Two Popular ED Programs Announced: PPOHA and TQP
Adapted from GrantWeek May, 28, 2014
The U.S. Department of Education (ED) announced FY 14 competitions for the Promoting Postbaccalaureate
Opportunities for Hispanic Americans (PPOHA) and Teacher Quality Partnership (TQP) programs. Both
programs last had a competition in FY 10.
PPOHA provides grants to expand postbaccalaureate educational opportunities for, and improve the academic
attainment of, Hispanic students. It also offers support for expanding postbaccalaureate academic offerings as well
as enhancing program quality in Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs). Approximately $10.5 million is available for
21 awards averaging $500,000 per year. HSIs may only submit one application. The deadline is June 27, 2014. A
series of webinars may be offered, but no details are available.
TQP supports collaborations among school systems and institutions of higher education to recruit and train
effective teachers for high-need areas. The current competition offers two absolute priorities (applicants can
address one or both) and two competitive preference priorities (including one particularly focused on STEM).
Approximately $35 million is available for 20 awards averaging $1.5 million per year. The deadline is July 14, 2014.
Webinars are scheduled for June 10, 2014 at 10:00 a.m., ET and June 12, 2014 at 2:00 p.m., ET; dial-in information
is forthcoming.
