Changes to the R15 Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA), and Introducing the R15 Research Enhancement Award Program (REAP)<\/strong>
\nBy Jon Lorsch, Alexandra Ainsztein, and Michael Lauer
\nStudents in institutions with significant amounts of NIH funding, whether they be undergraduate or graduate students, generally have plenty of opportunities to gain exposure to biomedical research. This early exposure is key to engendering interest in exploring careers in science and enhancing understanding of the value of the research process. Institutions with little NIH funding often offer significantly fewer opportunities for students to do hands-on research. That\u2019s where NIH\u2019s AREA program comes in.<\/p>\n

Comments Welcomed on the Draft Report Recommending How to Reduce Administrative Burden in Research with Laboratory Animals: A Next Step in Implementing the 21st Century Cures Act<\/strong>
\nBy Mike Lauer
\nThe 21st Century Cures Act requires federal agencies to \u201creview applicable regulations and policies for the care and use of laboratory animals and make revisions, as appropriate, to reduce administrative burden on investigators while maintaining the integrity and credibility of research finding and protection of research animals.\u201d This past March we requested feedback from the public on ways to reduce regulatory burden while also maintaining the highest standards for protecting animal welfare and scientific integrity. You responded with constructive and helpful feedback with more than19,000 comments. Generally, many responses supported the actions initially proposed in the request, but they were balanced with concerns from animal advocacy and other groups.<\/p>\n

New Funding Opportunities for Basic Experimental Studies Involving Humans<\/strong>
\nBy Mike Lauer and William T. Riley
\nOver the past year, since we published an essay in Nature Human Behaviour on \u201cNIH policies on experimental studies with humans,\u201d NIH has engaged in a discussion with the basic science community to find ways to meet our shared obligations to study participants and taxpayers, while respecting the unique goals and outcomes of basic science. While we are still in the midst of that conversation, we are pleased to announce real progress in the form of new funding opportunity announcements for Basic Experimental Studies involving Humans.<\/p>\n
