The usual NIH policies concerning research on human subjects also apply.
Basic research or clinical studies in which human tissues cannot be identified
or linked to individuals are excluded.  However, every effort should be made
to include human tissues from women and racial/ethnic minorities when it is
important to apply the results of the study broadly, and this should be
addressed by applicants.
 
For foreign awards, the policy on inclusion of women applies fully; since the
definition of minority differs in other countries, the applicant must discuss
the relevance of research involving foreign population groups to the United
States' populations, including minorities.
 
If the required information is not contained within the application, the
application will be returned.
 
Peer reviewers will address specifically whether the research plan in the
application conforms to these policies.  If the representation of women or
minorities in a study design is inadequate to answer the scientific
 
            NIH GUIDE - Vol. 20, No. 6, February 8, 1991 - Page 18
question(s) addressed AND the justification for the selected study population
is inadequate, it will be considered a scientific weakness or deficiency in
the study design and will be reflected in assigning the priority score to the
application.
 
All applications for clinical research submitted to NIH are required to
address these policies.  NIH funding components will not award grants or
cooperative agreements that do not comply with these policies.
 
MECHANISMS OF SUPPORT
 
Applications in any of the NIDDK mechanisms of support are accepted.
Especially encouraged are the Research Project Grant (R01), First Independent
