This post is part of our #NIGMSFeedbackLoop blog series outlining NIGMS research priorities, funding opportunities, and the grant application process. It discusses post-award requirements principal investigators and institutions must follow to ensure a project remains on track. It also answers the following questions: How do I manage the post-award process? Where is information about a grant award found? How is research progress reported? What grant-related changes need approval? What if I have additional questions during the award period? How can I find more information?

About us
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) supports basic research that increases our understanding of biological processes and lays the foundation for advances in disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. NIGMS-funded scientists investigate how living systems work at a range of levels—from molecules and cells to tissues and organs—in research organisms, humans, and populations. Additionally, to ensure the vitality and continued productivity of the research enterprise, NIGMS provides leadership in training the next generation of scientists, enhancing the diversity of the scientific workforce, and developing research capacity throughout the country. NIGMS is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the principal medical research agency of the federal government and a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Happening this month! On July 17-18, join NHGRI for a virtual symposium that will explore the many dimensions of sex and gender in the genomics era. This event will bring together top experts from biological and social sciences to help clarify and provide context for the many dimensions of sex and their relationships with gender. These discussions are crucial for providing a stronger scientific framework for understanding sex better for the benefit of all populations. Learn more and register here! https://lnkd.in/eZCWsK3J

We’re pleased to announce that our Research on Interventions That Promote the Careers of Individuals in the Biomedical Research Enterprise notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) has been reissued under a new name: B-INSPIRE, short for Research on Behavioral INterventionS That Promote Careers In the Biomedical Research Enterprise. The new name better reflects the goal of this program: to test theoretically based behavioral interventions that enhance research-oriented individuals' interest, motivation, persistence, and preparedness for careers in the biomedical research workforce. Applicants must propose an intervention that tests effectiveness using robust experimental designs, such as randomized control trial approaches, case controls, or matched pair design, appropriate to perform rigorous research on effective interventions aiming to increase success in the biomedical research workforce. The first application deadline is October 17, 2024. We encourage interested applicants to visit the #NIGMSFeedbackLoop blog for more information—link in the comments. #FundingOpportunity

If you’ve come across the phrase “basic science,” you may think it refers to science that’s simple. But it’s a scholarly term that refers to the research of figuring out how and why things work in the world around us. In our Pathways issue, “Basic Science Careers,” students can read about how scientists are unlocking nature’s secrets to improve our health, plus interesting careers that they could pursue. Access the full issue in the link in the comments. #BasicScience #NIGMSPathways #ScienceCareers

This #CoolScienceImage from researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, captures developing mouse nerve cells. The nucleus (yellow) is inside a cell body with long extensions called axons and thin branching structures called dendrites. Electrical signals travel from the axon of one cell to the dendrites of another. #NerveCell #Neuron #BasicScience

Check out our Biomedical Beat blog post featuring Dr. Ahna Skop, a professor of genetics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She shares her tireless efforts of challenging previous research to uncover the true significance of the midbody, which is found within the intercellular bridge that develops between the two newly formed cells during the final stages of cell division.

As a child, Dr. Eda Koculi learned chemical reactions written in English before she even knew the language. Her childhood curiosity, along with family who nurtured her passion and scientific mentors who helped he through tough times, led her to become an assistant professor at the The University of Texas at El Paso. She believes the challenges she faced along her path make her a better mentor who can relate to her students’ struggles. Her lab researches RNA modification and ribosome assembly with the goal of uncovering more about these processes to help develop new antibiotics and cancer therapies. #BiomedicalBeat #WomenInSTEM #RNA #Ribosome

“Being a scientist is thrilling—and it’s also tremendously fun,” says Dr. Eda Koculi, assistant professor at The University of Texas at El Paso. Though she was originally interested in physical chemistry, an elective biochemistry class at the Illinois Institute of Technology changed her career trajectory to biochemistry. She now studies the ribosome and how RNA is modified after it’s made. Learn more about Dr. Koculi’s path to becoming a researcher and her interesting science in the latest Biomedical Beat blog post—link in comments. #BiomedicalBeat #WomenInSTEM #RNA #Ribosome
