Eligibility Requirements
Applicant Eligibility
NIGMS trainees must be U.S.
citizens, non-citizen nationals or permanent residents.
Beneficiary Eligibility
Any nonprofit or for-profit organization, company or institution engaged in biomedical research.
Credentials/Documentation
Each applicant for research projects must present a research plan and furnish evidence that scientific competence, facilities, equipment and supplies are appropriate to carry out the plan. 2 CFR 200, Subpart E - Cost Principles applies to this program.
Aplication and Award Process
Preapplication Coordination
Preapplication coordination is not applicable.
Environmental impact information is not required for this program.
This program is excluded from coverage under E.O.
12372.
Application Procedures
This program is excluded from coverage under 2 CFR 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. NIH announces availability of funds for grant programs by issuing funding opportunity announcements in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts (https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide) and on Grants.gov (https://www.grants.gov). Application packages must be downloaded from Grants.gov and the majority must be submitted through Grants.gov. This program is subject to the provisions of 45 CFR, Part 92 for state and local governments and 45 CFR, Part 72 for other organizations, as appropriate.
Award Procedures
All accepted applications are reviewed for scientific merit by an appropriate initial review group and by a national advisory council. National Research Service Award (NRSA) applications for the support of individual fellows and other applications requesting less than $50,000 direct costs per year are not reviewed by the council. All approved applications compete for available funds on the basis of scientific merit and program emphasis.
Deadlines
Contact the headquarters or regional office, as appropriate, for application deadlines.
Authorization
Section 301 and Title IV of the Public Health Service Act, as amended.
Range of Approval/Disapproval Time
Project Grants: about 9 months. NRSA: (institutional) 9-12 months, (individual) 6 months. Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)/Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR): about 7-1/2 months.
Appeals
A principal investigator may question the substantive or procedural aspects of the review of his/her application by communicating with the staff of the Institute. A description of the NIH Peer Review Appeal procedures is available on the NIH website at https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-11-064.html.
Renewals
Renewal grants are generally made prior to the expiration of any current award.
