NIH Clarifies Guidance for Preparing Applications During the COVID Pandemic and Extends COVID Flexibilities

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has reminded applicants that while grant applications should not include contingency or recovery plans for problems resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, investigators may address effects due to the pandemic on productivity or other scoreable issues in the personal statement of the biosketch. If needed, NIH will assess plans to resolve specific problems arising from the COVID-19 pandemic prior to funding.

NIH will extend through December 31, 2021 existing COVID flexibilities permitting online training applying to all awards requiring instruction in the responsible conduct of research, including research training grants, fellowships, individual and institutional career development awards, and research education awards. Grant recipients do not need to seek prior approval to do so.

UF IRB: Update to Human Subject Payment Program SSN Collection Policy for Compensating Subjects

Prior to August 2021, UF Human Subject Payments (HSP) required investigators to collect social security numbers (SSNs) when compensating participants more than $75 for being in a study. On August 25, 2021, HSP revised this limit upwards to $200.

If your study is impacted by this, please submit a revision updating your informed consent form(s) and the Information Sources and Identifiers Smart Form (Q3.0). Please be sure to describe any processes for destroying SSNs already collected. If the only revision to your informed consent form(s) is changing the compensation language to reflect the new $200 limit, you do not have to reconsent your participants.
