The NIH recently updated their Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): Information for NIH Applicants and Recipients website with a slew of additional FAQs, new funding opportunities, as well as a video message from Mike Lauer, Deputy Director for Extramural Research, where he addresses some of the most common questions.

Since yesterday’s recording of the video, in response to community concerns about their ability to submit applications in a timely manner, the NIH has published a notice announcing that grant applications submitted late for due dates between March 9, 2020, and May 1, 2020, will be accepted through May 1, 2020. This notice applies to all relevant funding opportunity announcements, including those that indicate no late applications will be accepted. A cover letter providing a justification is not required. NIH will be extending the expiration date of most FOAs expiring between now and May 1. Be sure to read the notice carefully for details.

IMMEDIATE COVID RESEARCH FUNDING OPPORTUNITY

The OSU Office of Research invites the research community to develop research and innovations to improve our ability to respond to current and future challenges.

All areas of inquiry are eligible to submit ideas in the following broad categories:

• Developing novel tools for improved diagnostics and treatment
• Identifying and testing diagnostics and treatments in animal and human models
• Data analysis, epidemiological modeling, and decision-support
• Understanding human response behaviors and the impact of health messaging
• Economic, business, and policy analyses
• New production of critical materials and resources
• Other

Requests should not exceed $50,000 and 12 months in duration and must be ready to launch immediately upon notice of award. Proposals that can demonstrate impact on shorter timelines are preferred. Budget requests must be fully justified to be cost-efficient and commensurate with potential for high impact or return. Faculty salary will not be supported; however, requests for staff and student stipend support (no tuition) are permitted within the bounds of University emergency procedures. NOTE: Established procedures for COVID-related IRB/IBC/IACUC/FDA protocols must be followed. Projects requiring access to patients and/or biological samples from patients, projects must also be approved per the guidelines established by the College of Medicine/Comprehensive Cancer Center/Wexner Medical Center.
