Award Mechanisms
Distinction between solicited versus unsolicited proposals • Solicited (agency-initiated) proposals (18%)
• Request for Applications/Proposals (RFA/RFP) • One time request to fulfill specific agency research
objective or need • Program Announcements (PA)
• New research programs and updates to ongoing programs (renewable)
• Unsolicited (investigator-initiated) proposals (82%)
Identifying NIH FundingSolicited proposals (RFA, RFP, PA, PAR) NIH funding opportunities page
• Includes funding opportunities for NIH IC only • Located at http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/index.html
• Subscribe to weekly listserv Grants.gov
• Includes funding opportunities for NIH in addition to the other 25 federal grant-making agencies
• Located at http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/home.html • Subscribe to weekly listserv
Identifying NIH Solicitations by IC Topic
Search by Agency (IC) • Identify funding opportunities within an agency • Identify mechanism • Identify review criteria
!Steps for searching….
• Identify Agency (IC) • Go to their homepage (http://www.nih.gov/icd) • Go to their “Research Funding” or Extramural
Funding” section • Perform search
Unsolicited NIH Funding
IDEA PROPOSAL FUNDING
NIH Funding MechanismsUnsolicited proposals; regular receipt, review cycles
Numerous funding mechanisms
R01 Research Project Grant
Supports discrete, specific, highly successful outcome projects
R03 Small Grant
Supports small research projects; limited time and resources are the key elements
R21 Exploratory/Independent Research Grant
Supports ‘high risk-high yield’ research projects!
R15 Academic and Research Enhancement Award (AREA) Grant
Small research projects in the biomedical and behavioral sciences conducted by students and faculty that have not been major recipients of NIH research grant funds
Research Grant Programs
NIH Research Project Grant Program (R01)
NIH Small Grant Program (R03)
NIH Support for Conferences and Scientific Meetings (R13 and U13)
NIH Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) Grants - (R15)
NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Award (R21)
NIH Clinical Trial Planning Grant (R34) Program
NIH High Priority, Short-Term Project Award (R56)
What Type of Research Grant Is Right for Me?
What stage of research career ? Training, Research or Career Development?
- What are your research needs?- do you need a mentor or collaborators?- how big is the project?- do you have pilot data?- how supportive is your environment?

Who/What is a Program Officer?Is a ScientistAdministers a thematic program of researchIdentifies gaps and stimulates new directionsCommunicates NIH mission, opportunities and funding priorities by:
Coordinating meetings, conferences, workshops and fostering collaborationsAnd writing funding announcements
Tracks the latest scienceAdvocates support of the best and funding priorities by:
Recommending grant funding
Contact a Program Officer
Why? What can a Program Officer do for me?Contact a Program Officer
Advise on the “right” funding mechanism to match your needs
Recommend “hot science” and IC program interests
Suggest appropriate Institute and Study Section Assignments
Discuss results of review and strategize for revision
Success at NIH
Look for various opportunities to acquire funding, e.g., diversity supplements, career awards
Partner with established NIH investigators
Understand NIH’s mission and overall goals Propose research topics that cross the boundaries of various IC; leverage tools and resources from other research areas to approach your research topic; create multidisciplinary research teams
Search for funding opportunities often and using different strategies, e.g., agency or topic search, and submit unsolicited proposals when possible
