Keeping Up With the Biomedical Research Workforce Initiative
Posted on August 30, 2013 by Sally Rockey
Over the past two years I’ve frequently discussed the recommendations from the NIH Advisory Committee to the NIH Director (ACD) on
the Biomedical Research Workforce. I know there’s been loads of information coming from us about how we are implementing these
recommendations. I’m happy to share our new website that compiles all of this biomedical workforce initiative information.
Reporting to NIH on Race and Ethnicity of Clinical Research Participants
Posted on August 21, 2013 by Sally Rockey
The inclusion of women, different racial and ethnic groups, and children is extremely important in clinical research to understand who is
affected by a given disease or condition and to develop the appropriate treatments. …. I’m bringing this topic to your attention because
there has been some confusion about the distinction between race and ethnicity and how to report this information to the NIH. ….
New Data, New Data Book Updates

NIH and the Lacks Family Announce a HeLa Genome Data Sharing and Use Agreement
Posted on August 8, 2013 by Sally Rockey
In 1951, biomedical research took a leap forward when it was announced that cancer cells taken from a patient, Henrietta Lacks, could not
only be grown in a lab, but also grown in perpetuity, creating the first immortal human cell line. This cell line – “HeLa” – is the most widely
used human cell line to this day. However, at the time …. Continue reading →
Using eRA Commons to Improve Data on the Biomedical Research Workforce
Posted on August 2, 2013 by Sally Rockey
In April I blogged about the various ways NIH is taking on the challenge of improving data on the biomedical research workforce,
particularly those who receive training support from NIH. In 2009 we began requiring eRA Commons accounts for all postdocs listed in the
grantees’ annual progress report and over the next year we’ll be extending this requirement to capture data on NIH-supported graduate
students and undergraduate students as well. Continue reading →
