NIH Grant and Funding Opportunities
In general, "any qualified scientist working in a research institution that can furnish the needed support can receive an NIH grant." However, most NIH grants are awarded to domestic institutions, and some have specific citizenship requirements above and beyond other selection criteria required by U.S. law. NIAID has a good general document titled Who Can Qualify for an NIH Grant? which you may want to review. Top of Page
Organizations Offering Grants
Skip to the Table of Contents
This list is organized by the first letter of the name of the organization offering the research funding. It is limited to organizations that offer research funding, not just travel grants. Since many of these organizations also offer Fellowships, they may also be listed on that page. Each listing indicates the level of funding available (ug / grad / postdoc) as well as any eligibility requirements, if specified.

This list is not exhaustive. Please review the Collected Lists of Grant Opportunities along with the list of additional resources you can use to Search for Other Funding Sources.
