Does the policy on the inclusion of women and minorities apply to foreign projects and contract proposals funded by the NIH?
YES. The NIH policy on inclusion of women in research conducted outside the U.S. is the same as that for research conducted in the U.S. However, for the population of the foreign country the definition of the minority groups may be different than in the U.S. If there is scientific rationale for examining subpopulation group differences within the foreign population, investigators should consider designing their studies to accommodate these differences.
