Strategies for Assessing Efforts in Preparing NIH Institutional Training Grants

Join experts from the Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP), the NIH Biomedical Research Workforce, and the National Training Grant Community of Practice (NTGCOP) for an informative panel discussion. This session will shed light on the FDP’s role in reducing the administrative burden of federally sponsored research and the NTGCOP’s role in discussing best practices, sharing resources, and making recommendations to NIH on behalf of the training grant community.

This session will specifically address the NIH’s upcoming modifications to institutional training grant applications, effective for proposals due on or after January 25, 2025. These changes include updates to the NRSA Data Tables aimed at minimizing the administrative burden on researchers, as well as other updates.

Participants will explore potential collaborative opportunities among the three entities to evaluate burden reduction and incorporate faculty feedback for ongoing enhancements.
