Rescission of the Final Scientific Integrity Policy of the National Institutes of Health
The purpose of this Notice is to rescind the Final Scientific Integrity Policy of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), issued under NOT-OD-24-178, to ensure alignment with the Administrations priorities. The NIH remains committed to upholding the principles of scientific integrity and has multiple interlocking policies that support and promote scientific integrity across the agency, including policies on research misconduct, authorship, human and animal subject protections, and data management and sharing, which will continue. This Notice only applies to the Final Scientific Integrity Policy of the NIH and not to any policies cited therein. Additionally, the NIH will adhere to the HHS Scientific Integrity Policy to advance scientific integrity goals.

Implementation Update: Delayed Effective Date for the NIH Intramural Research Program Access Planning Policy
On January 10, 2025, NIH issued the Intramural Research Program (IRP) Access Planning Policy (NOT-OD-25-062) requiring organizations applying to NIH for certain commercial patent licenses to submit access plans to NIH outlining steps they intend to take to promote patient access to those licensed products. The IRP Access Planning Policy applies to license applications and licenses granted by the NIH IRP for patents wholly owned by the government.
The NIH is committed to working with organizations to ensure successful implementation of this Policy. As such, NIH is delaying the effective date to accommodate further stakeholder outreach discussion in developing meaningful access approaches and incentive for partnerships. The Policy will now apply to license applications submitted to NIH on or after October 1, 2025.

Synopsis
Wildland fire is a powerful force on the planet, one that is rapidly accelerating in complexity beyond our current understanding. A new approach is needed. This approach requires a proactive and scalable perspective that recognizes the variety and connectedness of components of wildland fire. Coordinated scientific research and education that enables large-scale, cross-cutting breakthroughs to transform our understanding of wildland fire is urgently needed. In an era of rapid change, our society needs forward-looking research built on new frameworks that will realign our relationship with wildland fire.
The Fire Science Innovations through Research and Education (FIRE) program invites innovative multidisciplinary and multisector investigations focused on convergent research and education activities in wildland fire. All areas of science, engineering, and education supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation are included in this program. Projects developed by a wide array of groups including, for example,

Dear Colleague:
The Directorate for STEM Education (EDU) seeks new proposal submissions to continue its support for science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and computer science education innovations, research, capacity, and workforce development in and with rural and remote communities. Through this Dear Colleague Letter (DCL), EDU acknowledges the multidimensionality of rural America and welcomes proposals that meet the specific needs and that leverage the wide-ranging assets and opportunities of rural and remote communities, such as the Delta Region, Appalachia, and Tribal and EPSCoR (Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) jurisdictions.
The recent Committee on Equal Opportunities in Science and Engineering (CEOSE) 2024 report to Congress, Making Visible the Invisible: STEM Talent of Rural America, highlights the immense value of rural education to ensure workforce participation, national security, and social mobility and economic growth through innovation. This highlight aligns with NSF’s core values and policies, where geographic representation
