NHGRI Funding Opportunities: Research

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is replacing paper grant applications with electronic applications and is well along the transition to requiring electronic submission of grant applications via the online portal of Grants.gov. For additional information about the electronic application and transition timelines and procedures, please visit: Electronic Submission of Grant Applications [era.nih.gov].

Inquiries about NHGRI's program interests should be addressed to the Division of Extramural Research Program Staff
