UPDATE to NIH required Data Management and Sharing Plan language.  
Just a reminder that the following language should be included in all NIH DMSPs submitted:
 The Principal Investigator (PI) for this project, Dr. ABC, will ensure that this Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Plan is followed. The PI will be responsible for oversight of compliance with the accepted DMS Plan. Compliance will be evaluated annually during the award period by [insert name and title of the Authorized Official submitting the application] and progress towards the plan’s DMS activities will be included in the annual Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) submitted to the National Institute of XXXX Project Officer. At the project conclusion, the final progress report will summarize how the DMS objectives were fulfilled and provide links to the shared dataset(s).”
 
IMPORTANT REMINDER: NIH Guidance on Communicating and Acknowledging Federal Funding
Recipients should only acknowledge NIH awards on publications and other statements when the activities that contributed to that publication 1) directly arise from the award; and 2) are within the scope of the award being acknowledged.  When considering whether acknowledgement is necessary, ask yourself:
Did the personnel activity supported by the award contribute to the publication?
Did the award support the conduct of experiments or the analysis of data that contributed to the publication?
Is there a clear and apparent link between the work described in the publication with the aims and objectives of the grant?
If the answer is yes to any of these questions, cite the appropriate NIH support.
Each publication, press release, or other document about research supported by an NIH grant must include:
An acknowledgment of NIH grant support such as: "Research reported in this [publication, release] was supported by [name of the Institute, Center, or other funding component] of the National Institutes of Health under grant number [specific NIH grant number in this format: R01GM012345]."
A disclaimer that says: "The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institutes of Health."
NIH requires recipients to adhere to the requirements of the Steven's Amendment Public Law 101-166, Section 511, which states that HHS recipients must acknowledge Federal funding when issuing statements, press releases, requests for proposals, bid invitations, and other documents describing projects or programs funded in whole or in part with Federal money.   Recipients are required to state 1) the percentage and dollar amounts of the total program or project costs financed with Federal money and (2) the dollar amount of the total costs financed by nongovernmental sources, only for NIH programs that require cost-sharing (NIH GPS 4.2.1). 
If the recipient plans to issue a press release about research supported by an NIH grant, it should notify the NIH funding component in advance to allow for coordination. See http://www.nih.gov/news/media_contacts.htm for media contact information.  For more information on acknowledging federal funding, please visit the NIH Grants Policy Statement 8.2.1 and the NIH Guidance.

Cycles I-III PHF TAG Grant Program Deadline: ROLLING APPLICATIONS
The TAG program replaces the Equipment grant program. The primary objective of the PHF TAG program is to provide partial funding for critically needed research equipment that could be transformative for the research mission at OUHSC. This program is fully aligned with Pillar 1 of the Strategic Plan. The TAG program will proactively and with the help of a committee address campus-wide needs and fill critical gaps, with the goals to grow the research enterprise, expand innovative technology and research infrastructure, and promote addition of new cutting-edge technology on campus. Funding priority will be given to research equipment that will permit OUHSC investigators to be more competitive for external funding and provides support to multiple users. Funds may be used for equipment to be purchased as part of a recruitment package for new faculty or for equipment to support the research of current faculty. If the funds will be used for a new recruit, the recruit must have signed the offer letter with a specific start date or specific start date time frame. Equipment and/or technology funded by PHF is expected to be made available to all researchers at OUHSC, whenever possible. All OUHSC Assistant, Associate, or Full Professors are eligible to apply. Applicants are required to match requested funds. The maximum allowable budget for this program is $500,000 (PHF funding: $250,000; Applicant funding: $250,000).

OTHER FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

Engagement Opportunity: ARPA-H Launches Emerging Health Innovators (EHI) Initiative
The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) announced the Emerging Health Innovators (EHI) Initiative in September. EHI aims to engage, identify, and fund early career investigators and community innovators to ultimately increase access to federal funding and bridge existing healthcare gaps across the United States. Based on the results of EHI’s Network Survey, which gathered input from the research community to identify research topics and technologies that the community is working on, ARPA-H plans to launch a new EHI solicitation with two tracks:
  1. Technology-driven Innovation (Track 1): “supports early career investigators in developing innovative health technologies;”
  2. Community-enter Innovation (Track 2): “empowers community innovators to develop technology that addresses specific community needs."
ARPA-H plans to release the EHI Innovative Solutions Opening (ISO) in December 2024.
In anticipation of the upcoming solicitation, ARPA-H is hosting a virtual proposers’ day on January 8, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM EDT. While attendance at the proposers’ days is not required for submission to the upcoming solicitation, attendance is encouraged. Attendees will gain further insight into EHI’s goals, the scope of the initiative, and the details surrounding the upcoming solicitation, including when and how to propose. Registration for the proposers’ day will close on January 6, 2025, at 12:00 PM EDT, or whenever capacity is reached. Registration for the proposers’ day is required and is available here.
