and other news?
Sign up at the  NIAID
Funding News and Email Alerts Subscription Center for Email
Alerts with the
NIAID
Funding News newsletter and notices in your areas of
interest, e.g., paylines,
funding opportunities, or small business awards.
Where do I find high-priority funding areas?
Find all NIAID initiatives on the NIH Funding Opportunities Relevant to NIAID. NIH publishes most
initiatives-- requests
for applications (RFA), program
announcements (PA), and requests
for proposals (RFP) -- in the NIH
Guide. For grant types that have transitioned to electronic
applications, go to Grants.gov for
the funding
opportunity announcement package.
RFPs are published
in FedBizOpps,
and some may not appear
in the Guide. For more on the Guide, see the NIH Policy Announcements SOP.
Can a program officer tell me more about initiatives than what's stated in the Guide?
For grants, the program officer listed in the announcement can answer your questions and give you more information about an RFA than the NIH Guide, including your chances of success. However, for contract RFPs, you may talk only to the contracting officer listed in the RFP.
Who can tell me about funding opportunities in other institutes?
An NIAID program officer can inform you about RFAs, RFPs, and PAs in other institutes. Or you could look for program officers on institute Web sites. Go to NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices.
