• NCRR Research Facility Construction and Improvement Grants
The National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), part of the National Institute of Health (NIH), will administer Recovery Act grants for construction, renovation or repair of biomedical or behavioral research facilities.

• NIH "GO" Grants
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has established Research and Research Infrastructure "Grand Opportunities," or "GO" grants. These grants will support biomedical and bio-behavioral research that will benefit from significant 2-year funding. The research supported by "GO" grants should have high short-term impact, and a high likelihood of enabling growth and investment in biomedical research and development, public health, and health care delivery.

• NIH Challenge Grants in Health and Science
NIH grants for a variety of institutions to support biomedical and behavioral research that would benefit from significant 2-year jumpstart funds; research should have a high impact in biomedical or behavioral science and / or public health.

• NIH Core Center Biomedical Research Grants
Grants to hire researchers and develop research projects for new investigators, with the goal of augmenting and expanding biomedical research relevant to NIH. Awards are designed to enhance innovative programs of excellence by providing scientific and programmatic support for promising research faculty and their areas of research.

• NIH Grants for Competitive Revision Applications
Grants for investigators and institutions with active NIH-supported research grants to support revisions and significant expansion of the scope of NIH-funded projects.

• NIH Research Instrumentation Equipment Grants
Grants to non-profit organizations, universities, colleges, hospitals and others for purchase of a single piece of biomedical research equipment worth between $600,000 and $8 million. Eligible equipment may include structural and functional imaging systems, macromolecular NMR spectrometers, high-resolution mass spectrometers, cryoelectron microscopes and supercomputers.

• NIH Strategic Autism Research Grants
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) will administer four strategic autism research grants that together represent the largest funding opportunity for research on autism spectrum disorders (ASD) to date. While few trials can be completed in two years, Recovery Act funds will jumpstart projects and build the infrastructure for longer-term autism research efforts.

• R & D on Alternative Isotope Production Techniques
DOE-administered grants to develop, produce and distribute stable and radioactive isotopes that are essential for energy, medical and national security applications, and basic research.

• School Lunch Equipment
USDA grants for the purchase of food service equipment by schools participating in the National School Lunch Program; the goal of the grant is to improve the infrastructure in schools while stimulating activity in the economy.
