NIGMS Sandbox Provides Access to Data Science Learning Modules in the Cloud
The?NIGMS Sandbox, a cloud-based learning platform that teaches students, researchers, and clinicians how to harness cloud technology for life sciences applications and research, has been featured in a special supplement of?Briefings in Bioinformatics.
New Tribal Institutional Review Board Establishment and Enhancement (TIRBEE) Program and Upcoming Webinar
We’re pleased to announce that the notice of funding opportunity for the Tribal Institutional Review Board Establishment and Enhancement (TIRBEE) program has been published (PAR-24-260). TIRBEE supports federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) Tribes, Tribal colleges and universities, Tribal health programs, or Tribal organizations?to establish institutional review boards (IRBs) or enhance the capacity of existing Tribal IRBs.?The program seeks to give Tribes greater autonomy over their own research processes and is part of the response to needs identified through a formal Tribal consultation NIGMS conducted in 2021.
Join us to learn about the TIRBEE program:

New Tribal Undergraduate to Graduate Research Training and Leadership Experiences (TURTLE) Program and Upcoming Webinar
We’ve published the funding announcements for our new?Tribal Undergraduate to Graduate Research Training and Leadership Experiences (TURTLE) program. TURTLE will support federally recognized American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) Tribes, Tribal Colleges or Universities, Tribal health programs, or Tribal organizations (collectively termed, eligible Tribal entities) to identify and develop a pool of scientists to conduct research on AI/AN health and health disparities. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask us questions:

Request for Information: Expanding the Technology Scope of NIGMS Resource and Centers Programs - UPDATE: Deadline Extended
UPDATE: The deadline to respond to this RFI has been extended to October 15. See?NOT-GM-24-059?for details.
NIGMS supports National and Regional Resources (NRRs) that provide biomedical researchers with access to mature technologies and Biomedical Technology Optimization and Dissemination (BTOD) Centers that optimize and disseminate late-stage technologies for the research community to use. The NRR-associated mature technologies are ready for researchers’ immediate use without further development. By contrast, the late-stage technologies supported by BTOD Centers require optimization prior to dissemination to the biomedical research community.
To meet the evolving research needs of the biomedical research community, we're seeking input from the extramural community (including but not limited to current and potential resource users, technology developers, investigators from Institutional Development Award (IDeA) state institutions, and principal investigators of currently funded NRRs and BTOD Centers) on additional NIGMS mission-related technologies that would be of high value to biomedical research with support of the NRR and BTOD Center programs.
Also of Note:
Feedback Loop is intended primarily for current NIGMS grantees, applicants, and others in the scientific community who want the latest information on NIGMS funding opportunities, meetings, resources, and other useful information. You can also subscribe to receive blog posts by email as they happen or in an email digest.
If you’re a research trainee, you can also subscribe to receive posts tailored to NIGMS trainees.
