From the NIH Nexus:
The National Institutes of Health Office of Extramural Research (OER) welcomes you to your first update on NIH extramural issues via the NIH Extramural Nexus. The OER is the hub for grants policy and operations, grants administration, and the coordination of NIH's extramural programs and activities. Through the Nexus, the OER will provide the external scientific community with updates on NIH policies and activities as well as an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the operation of extramural programs. We intend the Nexus to be a two-way communications portal -- we will be listening to you and plan to modify the content of the Nexus accordingly.
The Nexus appears at a time of considerable change at the NIH. Among other things, the President has signed the FY 2006 budget and we have developed financial operations policies; we are moving quickly to electronic submission of applications; we are considering new policies to facilitate the careers of new investigators; and, we are redesigning our grant programs to recognize the contribution of multiple members of research teams.
