Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Administrative supplements to active NIH awards to support replication studies using independent contract resources
The NIH Common Fund has released a Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) to provide support for preparatory activities to enable replication of impactful biomedical studies by an independent contract research organization (CRO). Applications must identify a preclinical study with high potential impact on public health that is amenable to replication by an independent CRO. The study to be replicated may replicate an experiment, replicate the results of a previous computational analysis, or replicate a demonstration of the capabilities of a novel tool, technology, or method. The study must be able to be completed within the one-year budget period.
- Full Text of the Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Administrative supplements to active NIH awards to support replication studies using independent contract resources (NOT-RM-24-013).
- The funding provided by this funding opportunity is not to directly perform replication activities, but to support preparatory activities and engagement with the CRO. The replication studies will be performed by the CRO, and results will not be made public without consent of the original principal investigator(s).
- Applicants must be requesting administrative support to an active NIH-supported parent award to be eligible under this NOSI.
- Applications will be accepted starting through November 15, 2024 by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization.
- A technical assistance webinar will be held on October 29, 2024 from 4:00-5:00 PM ET. Use this link to register.
- Email Dr. Sahana Kukke and Dr. Michelle Hamlet at CF-Replication@od.nih.govwith any questions.

2025 HuBMAP Summer Undergraduate Internship Program
October 16, 2024 - 02:59PM - by Sophie Forman
HuBMAP (the Human BioMolecular Atlas Program) is an NIH-funded initiative that will generate 3D tissue maps and construct an atlas of the function and relationships among cells in the human body.
HubMAP is offering a paid summer research experience where undergraduate students will be placed in HuBMAP labs across the country. The internship program provides a fantastic opportunity to learn an exciting new area of biology, build connections, gain valuable scientific skills, and conduct research in single cell biology.
Eligible students will:
· Be an undergraduate student attending a US institution at the time of application.
· Be college undergraduates in the United States majoring in any of the STEM fields with a minimum of 3.0 grade point average.
· Be 17 years of age or older.
Please note that the deadline for applications is February 1, 2025. Applications will open November 25, 2024.
Preference will be given to students who do not have ready access to biomedical (and/or single cell biology) research opportunities in their home institutions.
NIH encourages the participation of individuals from populations that are underrepresented in the biomedical, clinical, behavioral and social sciences. See the Notice of NIH’s Interest in Diversity.
