What's New

What Is a NOSI?

The use of Notices of Special Interest represents a major change in how NIH Institutes and Centers communicate their research priorities to the research community and thus fill scientific gaps. Learn more about how a NOSI is different from a funding opportunity and see current NOSIs related to cancer epidemiology research.

Request for Information

NCI is seeking information on opportunities to leverage populations participating in NCI’s National Clinical Trial Network (NCTN) and Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) for observational cohort studies to fill evidence gaps in cancer survivorship knowledge. Responses are requested by May 3, 2021. View details in the NIH Guide, NOT-CA-21-036.

Physical Activity Assessment Resources

Check out our compilation of research resources related to physical activity, including analytical & assessment tools and datasets, including recently released National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) Physical Activity Monitor Data.

Information on Notices of Special Interest (NOSIs) and How They Work

A NOSI describes aims in a specific scientific area and points to one or more funding opportunity announcements that investigators can apply to for support. Visit our overview of NOSIs for additional details.

Considerations when Developing a Data Sharing Plan

Tips for investigators on preparing data sharing plans that comply with NIH's data sharing policies.
