Investigators at the University of Chicago Medicine have found that women are less likely to be represented as chairs and reviewers on study sections for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), based on data from one review cycle in 2019. The results, published on Feb. 15 in
JAMA Network Open, have implications for the distribution of federal scientific funding.
The NIH is the top source of federal funding for biomedical research in the U.S., providing critical support and guidance on the nation s research programs. The study sought to understand the gender distribution on NIH study sections, where scientific experts meet several times per year to discuss grant applications and determine what research will receive NIH funding.

Michigan health officials are working to administer as many COVID-19 vaccines as possible as quickly as possible as the number of reported cases of new variants of the virus increases. But rampant misinformation about the vaccine poses a significant challenge to what many, including Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, have called a race against these new variants.
State health officials hope to vaccinate 70% of Michiganders over the age 16. But among Michiganders over 18 who haven t received a COVID-19 vaccine, 11% said they probably won t get one and another 11% said they definitely won t get the vaccine, according to a recent Census survey.
A peer-reviewed study of the impact of vaccine misinformation published in Nature in early February found that exposure to online misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines led fewer Americans to say they would definitely get the vaccine.
