Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Administrative Supplement for Research and Capacity Building Efforts Related to Bioethical Issues (Admin Supp Clinical Trial Optional)

The NIH Office of Science Policy (OSP) within the Office of the Director (OD) announces the availability of administrative supplements to support:

1) research on bioethical issues to develop or support the development of an evidence base that may inform future policy directions, and/or
2) certain efforts to develop or augment bioethics research capacity.

Ethical considerations are intrinsic to the conduct of biomedical and health-related behavioral research and the translation of scientific and technological advances into practice. Research addressing bioethical issues can provide data to inform the conduct of biomedical, health-related, and behavioral science research and associated policies. Ethical questions and challenges are interlinked with many of NIH’s areas of scientific priority, such as responding to public health needs (e.g., lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the opioid crisis) and emerging scientific opportunities (e.g., new data sharing approaches, mainstream use of artificial intelligence). The investment in and the integration of bioethics-related research and policy demonstrate NIH’s commitment to advancing ethical research which can facilitate public participation and trust in the research enterprise.
