Summary
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) is holding a virtual meeting on January 13-14, 2026, to review research progress and discuss grant applications. Scientists, researchers, and grant applicants will be affected as some sessions are open to the public while others are private to protect personal info. This meeting helps decide funding and research directions but doesn’t announce new money or deadlines yet.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Closed Grant-Review Sessions for Researchers
The NIDDK meeting on January 13-14, 2026 will include multiple closed sessions to review, discuss, and evaluate individual grant applications and investigators’ qualifications (closed under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4) and 552b(c)(6)). The notice says these sessions protect personal privacy and that the meeting helps decide funding and research directions, but it does not announce new money or application deadlines.
Public Attendance and Campus Security Rules
Open portions of the meeting are available to the public on January 13 and 14, 2026 but attendance is limited to space available. Visitors to on-campus or off-campus NIH facilities will be subject to NIH security procedures (vehicle inspections, one form of photo ID required, and being asked the purpose of the visit).
Accommodations for Attendees with Disabilities
If you plan to attend and need special assistance (for example, sign language interpretation), you should notify the Contact Person listed in the notice in advance of the January 13-14, 2026 meeting so reasonable accommodations can be arranged.
