Spotlight on Research  
For our summer edition, the PMI Grants team features Pew Biomedical Scholar, Wenhan Zhu, PhD. The Zhu lab focuses on metabolic interactions that dictate changes of resilience of the microbiota.  His current work explores how gut commensals cope with metal starvation and insults from oxygen. 
NIH's Data Management (DMS) & Sharing Plan 
The NIH Data Management & Sharing DMS Policy applies to all research, funded or conducted in whole or in part by NIH, that results in the generation of scientific data.
Under the DMS policy, NIH expects that investigators and institutions:
  • Plan and budget for the managing and sharing of data
  • Submit a DMS plan for review when applying for funding
  • Comply with the approved DMS plan
Additional information is available via the following links:

Missing PMCIDs and other common errors on proposals 
The PMI grants team encourages applicants to review these items often overlooked for compliance on NIH proposals.

Just-In-Time (JIT)

Planning a proposal submission in the next 2-3 months? 
In an effort to better serve you, the PMI grants team requests that PIs and Fellows notify us as far in advance as possible of submission plans.  This ensure ample time to complete departmental requirements and also route to OSP for review, by their deadline.
