NIH NOSI Supports Returning Biomedical Researchers
NIH has announced a new supplements program for researchers returning to biomedical careers after a qualifying absence. Under “Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Research Supplements to Promote Reentry and Reintegration into Health-Related Research Careers” (NOT-OD-21-134), successful applicants will be able to participate in full- or part-time mentored research experiences through existing NIH research grants. Eligible for these reentry supplements are individuals whose research careers have been interrupted for at least 6 months because of family responsibilities or other qualifying circumstances. The reintegration supplements will enable individuals to find supportive scientific environments after departure from an unsafe or discriminatory environment resulting from unlawful harassment.
Most candidates for the reentry supplements will have a doctoral degree or equivalent; however, some awarding NIH Institutes and Centers may enable predoctoral students, including those enrolled in dual-degree programs, to apply. Postdoctoral and predoctoral students are eligible to apply for reintegration supplements to allow them to transition to a safe, supportive research environment and complete their graduate degrees.
