Features of Multiproject Grants

Search in Research Funding

<< previous · tutorial index · next >>

NIH has not yet decided when multiproject applications will become electronic.

Multiproject grants share the following features:

  • At least two interrelated research projects related to a theme, unless stated otherwise in a funding opportunity announcement.
  • Collaboration and interaction among investigator-initiated projects and investigators to achieve a common goal.
  • One grantee institution that will be legally and financially responsible for the use of funds.
  • One application submitted to NIH by the applicant organization in the name of the PI.
  • Support as needed for shared resources -- core resources or facilities -- that provide services or resources to at least two research projects.

For each component project and core you will submit a complete application, following the PHS 398 plus any additional instructions in the announcement.

Some multiproject applications may require pre-application approval. Be sure to read any instructions about NIAID clearance. We usually request a one-page "letter of intent" from prospective investigators.

Direct any questions to the program officer listed in the announcement.
