With
the goal of improving public health, NHLBI seeks to fund
the best scientific research projects that are submitted
and within the budget. The peer
review system evaluates each project for its merit, the ability of the investigator
to accomplish the proposed work and scientific quality. Your project
must be unique. By law, NIH cannot support a project already funded or pay
for research already done. And you may not send the
same application to more than one Public Health Service (PHS)
at the same time.
But proposing elegant science is not
enough. Reviewers can't read minds
and if you don't write the information into your application,
it might as well not exist. This section is designed
to help you in writing an application and will answer the
following questions about preparing and submitting a proposal:
- How can I find funding opportunities?
- What do I need to know before submitting a clinical research
application?
- Am I a new investigator and what if this is my first
NIH application?
- Which NHLBI staff can help me?
- Is my study considered clinical research?
- Is my study observational or interventional?
- What is the best award mechanism for my clinical research
proposal?
- What if my project exceeds $500,000 in direct
costs in any given year?
- Where can I get help with writing
the application?
- What must I include in Section E: Human Subjects Research?
- How do I submit my application?
