February 7, 2024 Many applicants and grantees havent yet heard of all the free resources available to them on how to apply for National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants and about the policies and processes that govern how NIH funds grants. Today, Id like to tell you about some of the most popular among these resources. Other people in the research field, such as postdocs, trainees, research administrators, and grant writers, may also be interested. |
| Over a 20-year periodfrom 2002 to 2022U.S. adults not only increased their overall use of complementary health approaches but were also more likely to use complementary health approaches specifically for managing pain. The findings come from a new analysis by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). The research was funded by NCCIH and recently published inJAMA. |
| The Section on Sensory Cells and Circuits led by Senior Investigator Alexander Chesler, Ph.D., at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow for fully funded research to study the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying somatosensation, interoception, and pain. We are located within a highly collaborative network of outstanding labs in the Porter Neuroscience Research Center and the NIH Intramural Program, providing a stimulating and collegial interdisciplinary training environment. The candidate will be able to apply cutting-edge techniques including in vivo functional imaging and electrophysiology, spatial transcriptomics, opto- and chemogenetics, and behavioral tracking in animal models, as well as quantitative sensory testing and microneurography in human subjects.
