*Alaska INBRE has purchased a multiple sign-on for this event at no cost to you! For more information, contact Sarah Garcia at ssgarcia@alaska.edu.
This session will provide a broad overview of the proposed NSPM-33 program requirements. We will discuss which requirements are least likely to change and which have the greatest potential to change before the final guidance is released. We will host a dialogue about what participants are doing at their own institutions to prepare and where they are holding off. Finally, we will offer some ideas for how to start or keep the conversation going at your home institution.

Current Alaska INBRE Award Opportunities:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has published NOFOs for the SuRE (PAR-24-144) and SuRE-First (PAR-24-145) R16 grant mechanisms. Notable changes include:
- Deadlines Beginning in 2024, each SuRE R16 grant now has two annual submission deadlines, with the due dates being the same for each. The next due date for both SuRE and Sure-First applications is May 29, 2024.
- PEDP Attachement The NIH now requires that an attachment called a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspective (PEDP) be included with all R16 submissions. This is a summary of strategies to advance the scientific and technical merit of the proposed project through inclusivity. The PEDP is submitted as a one-page "Other Attachment" to be included in grant applications. You may learn more by visiting this NIH page on PEDPs.
