Standard Operating Procedure Table of Contents

 

Purpose

To request Council approval for potential future initiatives -- RFAs, PAs, or RFPs -- through which NIAID sets aside money to stimulate research in high-priority areas.

Procedure

Every initiative must go through concept clearance. NIAID publishes Concepts: Potential Opportunities cleared at recent Council meetings on the Research Funding Web site. Not every concept cleared by Council becomes a published initiative.
