Secret Sessions: NIH Reviews Grants for Health Disparities in June
Published Date: 4/9/2025
Notice
Summary
The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities is holding two closed virtual meetings in June 2025 to review grant applications focused on health disparities research. These meetings affect researchers seeking funding and ensure sensitive information stays private. The reviews help decide which projects get money to improve minority health.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
P50 Center Grant Reviews (June 3-5)
If you applied for the Environmental Health Disparities Centers (P50) grant, reviewers will meet virtually June 3-5, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., to review and evaluate grant applications. These reviews help decide which projects receive funding.
Training Program Grant Review (June 18)
If you applied to the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Training Program, reviewers will meet virtually on June 18, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., to review and evaluate grant applications. The meeting's reviews influence which training-related projects receive funding or support.
Closed Meetings Protect Applicant Privacy
The meetings will be closed to the public under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4) and 552b(c)(6) because grant applications could disclose confidential trade secrets, patentable material, or personal information. Closure is intended to keep sensitive commercial and personal data private during review.

The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of the information collection requirement for the NIDA Data Share, the data use terms and conditions, and to request a progress report statement at the time of renewal. In compliance with the requirement of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 to provide opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
2026-16544, Government-Owned Inventions; Availability for Licensing
The inventions listed below are owned by an agency of the U.S. Government and are available for licensing to achieve expeditious commercialization of results of federally-funded research for the benefit of the public health.
2026-16440, NIH Owned Invention Available for License: Soluble Tissue Factor, a Novel Target, and Antibodies, for Diagnosis, Prevention and Treatment of Thrombosis and Related Conditions
Scientists at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have discovered a novel therapeutic, diagnostic and prognostic target for thrombosis: Soluble Tissue Factor (sTF). NCI has generated first-in- class antibodies and platform selectively neutralizing pathological coagulation while preserving normal hemostasis. This platform technology can be used to prevent, diagnose and treat pathological thrombosis caused by a variety of clinical conditions-including cancer, sepsis, infectious diseases (e.g., COVID), autoimmune disorders, trauma, heart conditions and inflammatory conditions. It offers a much more sensitive and specific test of thrombosis than the current D-dimer test. It may be applicable to any clinical condition which induces necroptosis, pyroptosis and NETtosis, such as cancer, neurodegenerative disease, ischemia-reperfusion and acute injuries, traumatic injuries, bacterial and viral infections, cardiovascular conditions, and atherosclerosis, inflammatory, autoimmune conditions, and others.
2026-16071, Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment Request: The Impact of Clinical Research Training and Medical Education at the Clinical Center on Physician Careers in Academia and Clinical Research (Clinical Center)
In compliance with the requirement of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects, the Clinical Center, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.
2026-15565, Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment Request, Data Use Certification for the NIH Brain Development Cohorts (NBDC) Data Hub, (National Institute on Drug Abuse)
In compliance with the requirement of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 to provide opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. The purpose of this revision is to update instructions for the Research Data Use Statement and the Progress Report, and to add new instructions for attesting to National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) security compliance, and for a Project Close-out at the time of project completion. Burden levels remain unchanged.
