Presentation Transcript

  1. Partnering with the NIH • NIH has 27 Institutes and Centers • Each Institute/Center has a mission. • If your grant application is to be successful, one of these institutes/centers must be convinced that funding your application will help advance its mission. • Your challenge is to find a “match” between the funding priorities of your institute and your research goals.

  2. First Steps • Review the Institute’s website for “funding opportunity announcements (FOAs).” • 3 types of funding opportunities: • Parent Announcements • Program Announcements (PAs) • Requests for Applications (RFAs)

  3. First Steps (cont’d) • Parent Announcements: often referred to as “investigator-initiated” or “unsolicited” applications. • Investigator proposes an idea that is programmatically relevant to an NIH institute, prepares an application, and submits it on or before one of the standard NIH deadlines (Feb, Jun, Oct). • There are parent announcements for most “R series” applications (i.e., R01s, R03s, R21s).

  4. Finding a “Match” • Program Announcements (PAs) • Describe priority areas of research, which may involve multiple institutes • Usually issued for 3-year periods and are often renewed • Have standard due dates (Feb, Jun, Oct) • Funded from the institute’s general fund • Applications can be resubmitted once, if not funded on 1st round.

  5. Finding a Match(cont’d) • Request for Applications (RFAs) • Describe specific kinds of research • Uses set aside funds to fund successful applications • Often issued by a single institute • Are often “one-time” only opportunities • Usually reviewed within the institute by a Scientific Review Group (not a standing study section) • Special due dates • Applications cannot be resubmitted • But may be submitted as an investigator-initiated application in response to a parent announcement or a program announcement.

  6. Online Resources • NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts • http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/index.html • http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/listserv.html • The Federal Register • http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/index.html

  7. Homework • Read Chapters 1 and 2 and pages 19-22 of Chapter 3 in The Grant Application Writer’s Workbook. • Review your Institute’s website and identify relevant program officer(s), PAs/PARs, and RFAs. • Try to find a “match” between your research goals and their funding priorities. • Review Center for Scientific Review website and identify relevant study section(s).
