The NIH is deeply concerned for the health and safety of people involved in NIH research, and about the effects on the biomedical enterprise in the areas affected by the HHS declared public health emergency for COVID-19. Due to the potential exceptional impact, we want to assure our recipient community that NIH will be doing its part to help you continue your research. For more information, please visit the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): Information for NIH Applicants and Recipients of NIH Funding website.

 

Funding Opportunities

Binders with labels: applications and grants

New COVID-related Guidance for Grantees

Ruth L. Kirschstein Individual National Research Service Award (F31 and F32) grants as well as Career Development (K01 & K23) grants which have significantly suffered (above and beyond lost research productivity that most individuals experienced) due to COVID-19 related shutdowns, may be eligible for extensions as per NOT-OD-21-052. Please contact David Banks for more information.

Continuing Opportunities

Two funding announcements have been released as part of the NIH Common Fund’s Faculty Institutional Recruitment for Sustainable Transformation (FIRST) program.
