In 2017, we announced that eRA Commons would establish a real-time link with ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor Identification), a non-profit organization that assigns persistent identifiers to scientists and their research. Since that time, we have observed a dramatic increase in the number of NIH supported investigators with an NIH account linked to their ORCID iD.

Here, we will explore some innovative and analytical ways that NIH is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and other digital technologies to strengthen our internal grant and application management operations. When taken together with other efforts, these approaches move us towards continually funding the most meritorious research possible.

This summer, the NIH Office of Strategic Coordination launched the new Replication to Enhance Research Impact Initiative, a pilot approach to advance rigor and transparency in biomedical research by supporting the direct third-party replication of NIH-funded studies. Through the new Replication Initiative, we aim to test whether direct replication of selected research studies is a fruitful approach to enhancing research reproducibility, and if yes, for what types of studies, and under what circumstances.

We just issued a reminder that multiple changes affecting extramural applications and review are coming for application due dates on or after January 25, 2025. As you prepare applications for our January due dates and beyond, we thought we would provide just a few more updates, tips, and resources.

Effective October 1, 2024, the HHS policy on salary rate limitation outlines that the legislative mandate limiting salary to Executive Level II, currently $221,900, applies to both direct and indirect salaries.

Does your institution receive funding from the National Institutes of Health? Do you have responsibilities for monitoring compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy at an office, department, or institutional level? The NLM seeks to improve their support to those monitoring compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy.
