Funding inequalities for NIH-supported research project grant investigators and organizations have increased over the past 25 years, but have modestly decreased over the past 3 years.

National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants have evolved over time, with a greater proportion of funds going to solicited projects, but inflation-adjusted costs have remained relatively stable following a brief increase during the NIH-doubling (1998-2003).
Grant applications submitted to the NIH by African-American/Black PIs are less likely to be funded than applications from white PIs, and the NIH must find a solution that eliminates this racial disparity.

An analysis of peer review and funding outcomes of NIH research applications shows that funding disparities of topics preferred by African American Black investigators are not due to peer review preferences or biases.
Clinical prediction rules could help identify children at risk of slowed growth after an episode of diarrheal illness, and these rules may be generalizable to all children, regardless of diarrhea status.
In the third and final webinar in our postdoctoral fellowships series, we heard about some of the awards offered by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the US.
Increased genetic liability to colorectal cancer is associated with altered levels of circulating metabolites, including fatty acids, up to 40 years before average age of diagnosis.
An analysis of publications and research grants shows that the volume of research on reproductive organs is much less than that on non-reproductive organs.

A smartphone app incorporating clinical prediction models using patient-specific and location-specific data sources in a modular approach could predict viral-only etiology of diarrhea in children under five in Bangladesh and Mali.
