NIH PAR-24-038: 2024 Assessment of Climate at Institutions (ACt) Award

Submit ticket request  // Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 1 

Only one application per institution (identified by having a unique NIH IPF number) is allowed.

The objective of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit applications to conduct institutional climate assessments using validated survey instruments and to develop action plans for positive change in the recruitment, hiring, retention, and advancement of faculty, including those from groups underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral research (see NIH Interest in Diversity).

The plans for self-studies should lead to institutional culture change by identifying perceptions, attitudes, and concerns, about, for example, inequities, micro-aggressions, institutional racism, and bias. The self-studies should provide a foundation for the development of an action plan to enhance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) outcomes in the recruitment, hiring, retention, and advancement of faculty.
