Bill overview
This bill, the Missed Opportunities in Public Health and Biomedical Research Act of 2020, requires the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to annually report on research grant applications that were not funded but had significant potential to improve public health. The report will identify the NIH’s success rate, highlight the two top unfunded applications, and, if the success rate is below 32%, will also list applications that could have reached that threshold. This aims to provide greater transparency into the NIH’s funding decisions and identify areas for potential improvement in research prioritization.
