NOT-RM-19-001: Request for Information (RFI): Institutional Accountability to Promote Inclusive Excellence

NIH Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives is seeking your assistance! NOT-RM-19-001: Request for Information (RFI): Institutional Accountability to Promote Inclusive Excellence.

The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit background information and guidance on the development of an NIH Common-Fund program currently in the planning stages. The NIH Office of Strategic Coordination seeks input on institutional and/or programmatic approaches to advance inclusive excellence through institutional change. Our goal is to employ a cohort model at the faculty level as a catalyst for institutions to create a route of entry and advancement for talent from diverse backgrounds, including scholars from groups underrepresented in the biomedical research enterprise. This RFI will assist NIH in identifying, developing, and implementing strategies that will work toward this goal - integral to NIH’s mission to support a diverse research workforce that invites a broad variety of perspectives to address complex scientific problems, more robust learning environments, improved global competitiveness, and enhanced public trust.
https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-RM-19-001.html

Responses to this RFI will be accepted through May 16, 2019. All comments will be anonymous and must be submitted via email to [email protected].
