NIH Notice NOT‑OD‑25‑133 introduced a new policy requiring institutions that receive NIH funding to provide mandatory training on “Other Support” disclosure for all Senior/Key Personnel.

Effective October 1, 2025, organizations must implement this training and maintain a written, enforced policy to ensure compliance.

The policy focuses on improving transparency by requiring researchers to disclose all research support, including financial and non‑financial resources, affiliations and activities, regardless of monetary value or where the support originates.

Clinical research has grown into a rapidly expanding profession, yet entry into the field has often been unplanned, with many professionals discovering it by chance rather than through a clearly defined pathway. A new “Airport Concourse Model” reframes how we think about careers in clinical research.

The Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) offers Spark Awards, previously known as vouchers, to researchers who need to jump-start their research. The goal of the Spark Award is to support preliminary work and generate essential data for both new and ongoing projects. The CTSI is excited to highlight how Spark Award recipients are utilizing their funding.

All federally funded personnel and proposal submitters must complete the annual Research Security 2026 training in BuckeyeLearn. The 1‑hour course is due by May 25, 2026 and failure to complete it may prevent proposal submissions or continued work on federally funded projects, even if the training was completed within the past year.
