The new NIH Extramural Nexus includes an article by Norka Ruiz Bravo, the director of NIH's Office of Extramural Research (OER), covering the various types of NIH funding announcements. Know the difference between a PA and a PAR? What about a PAS? It may sound dry, but if you're in the NIH-funded research world and don't know this stuff, you're at a disadvantage. Also covered: news on NIH's transition to electronic submission and the latest on the NIH Roadmap.
