Academic Research Enhancement Award [AREA] for Undergraduate-Focused Institutions (R15)

NIH has made some changes to how it will use the R15 mechanism. See NOT-OD-19-015 for details.

Key Points:

  • UNH is eligible ONLY for AREA R15 awards
  • Be sure to use the appropriate AREA FOA for your project ("clinical trial not allowed" or "clinical trial required").
  • Your Grant and Contract Administrator (GCA) in Sponsored Programs Administration (SPA) will upload the now-required institutional eligibility letter when assembling the application package.

Basic Experimental Studies Involving Humans (BESH)

NIH has extended flexibilities for registration and results reporting for studies submitted to basic experimental studies with humans (BESH) funding opportunities. This policy flexibility, originally announced in NOT-OD-18-212, is now extended through September 24, 2024.

While BESH investigators are strongly encouraged to register their studies and report summary results to ClinicalTrials.gov, NIH is continuing to offer the flexibility for investigators to register and report results on alternative publicly available platforms at this time. It is important to note that this flexibility only applies to studies submitted through funding opportunities that are designated as “Basic Experimental Studies with Humans.”

Need help determining if your research fits within the scope of a BESH FOA?

NIH also has updated its Clinical Trial Case Studies to include examples of Basic Experimental Studies Involving Humans (see Cases #9, #14, #40, #41).
