NIH published a guide notice to notify NIH applicants and grantees about using the new Inclusion Management System (IMS) for reporting sex/gender, race, and ethnicity information as required by the NIH Policy on the Inclusion of Women and Minorities in Clinical Research.
The existing system was retired for grantee use in non-competing progress reports in July 2014. The new Inclusion Management System will be released October 17, 2014, and will take advantage of the structured inclusion data being collected on competing applications to pre-populate inclusion data records and allow grantees to directly manage their inclusion data in the system throughout the awarded project period. NOT-OD-15-005.
