Research Grants

Research Grants are extramural awards made for Research Projects, Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfers (SBIR/STTRs), and Research Centers. Other Research Grants that are not classified as research projects or research centers are also included.

Institutional Development Awards (IDeA) enhance biomedical and behavioral research in specific geographic areas.  The Division of Research Infrastructure of the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) provides IDeA grants to foster research within states that traditionally have not received significant levels of competitive funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
