Uses and Use Restrictions
Research Grants provide funds for salaries, equipment, supplies, travel, and other expenses associated with scientific investigation relevant to program objectives.
Individual National Research Service Awards (NRSAs) are made to individuals for research training in specified biomedical shortage areas.
In addition, grants may be made to institutions to enable them to make NRSAs to individuals selected by them.
Each individual who receives a NRSA is obligated upon termination of the award to comply with certain service and payback provisions.
Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I grants (of approximately 6-months' duration) are to establish the technical merit and feasibility of a proposed research effort that may lead to a commercial product or process.
Phase II grants are for the continuation of the research initiated in Phase I that are likely to result in commercial products or processes.
Only Phase I awardees are eligible to receive Phase II support.
Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I grants (normally of 1-year duration) are to determine the scientific, technical, and commercial merit and feasibility of the proposed cooperative effort that has potential for commercial application.
Phase II funding is based on results of research initiated in Phase I and scientific and technical merit and commercial potential on Phase II application.
Eligibility Requirements
Applicant Eligibility
Universities, colleges, hospitals, laboratories, and other public or private nonprofit domestic institutions, including State and local units of government, and individuals are eligible to make application for grant support of research by a named principal investigator or a research career development candidate.
For-profit organizations are also eligible, with the exception of NRSA.
Individual NRSA awardees must be nominated and sponsored by a public or nonprofit private institution having staff and facilities appropriate to the proposed research training program.
All NRSA awardees must be citizens or have been admitted to the United States for permanent residence.

Assistance Considerations
Formula and Matching Requirements
This program has no statutory formula. Matching requirements are not applicable to this program. MOE requirements are not applicable to this program.
Length and Time Phasing of Assistance
Project Grants: Awards are usually made for a 12-month period with recommendation of up to 4 years of additional support. SBIR: Normally, Phase I awards are for 6 months; normally, Phase II awards are for 2 years. STTR: Normally, Phase I awards are for 1 year; normally, Phase II awards are for 2 years. See the following for information on how assistance is awarded/released: The Notice of Award (NoA) is the legal document issued to notify the grantee that an award has been made and that funds may be requested from the designated HHS payment system or office. An NoA is issued for the initial budget period. If subsequent budget periods are also approved, the NoA will include a reference to those budgetary commitments. Funding for subsequent budget periods are generally provided in annual increments following the annual assessment of progress. This funding is also contingent on the availability of funds. The NoA includes all applicable terms of award either by reference or specific statements. It provides contact information for the assigned program officer and grants management specialist. The grantee accepts an NIH award and its associated terms and conditions by drawing or requesting funds from the Payment Management System, or upon the endorsement of a check from the US Treasury for foreign awardees. Method of awarding/releasing assistance: lump sum.
Post Assistance Requirements
Reports
Final progress reports must be submitted within 90 days after the expiration of the award.
The progress reported in a competitive renewal application may be accepted in lieu of a final progress report.
The final progress report should include (at a minimum): summary of progress toward the achievement of the originally stated aims; list of results (positive or negative) considered significant; list of publications resulting from the project as well as plans for further publications' and copies of manuscripts that have been accepted for publication, but not yet published.
