NIH has updated their Grants and Funding Information Status page as of March 24, 2025.
There are several updates regarding grant submissions, reviews, and changes. In particular, the following changes will impact Training Grants:
- Training grant applications (Ts)
- Recruitment Plans to Enhance Diversity are no longer required.
- Recruitment Plans to Enhance Diversity included in applications under review will not be evaluated or considered in funding decisions.
- FORMS-I Training data tables 6a, 6b, and 7 have been revised to remove calculations for % underrepresented minorities.
- Trainee Diversity Report
- A Trainee Diversity Report for institutional training grants, career development awards, and most research education grants is no longer required in Research Performance Progress Reports (RPPRs) and should not be included.
- The ability to generate the Trainee Diversity Report is no longer available to recipients.
Please note that changes to Parent Announcements have also been made in the last couple of weeks for T32 applications and additional Data Table changes have been made. NIH Advises: “Applicants must carefully reread funding opportunities for any changes prior to submission and adjust their applications accordingly.”
