Table of Contents

Introduction

We are truly indebted to the grantees who've allowed us to post their outstanding applications to help the next generation of investigators write their applications.

Please note that the application text is copyrighted. It may be used only for nonprofit educational purposes provided the document remains unchanged and the PI, the grantee organization, and NIAID are credited.

Please Note!

NIH will soon require a shorter Research Plan for most grants, including R01s. See the Guide notice.

Keep that in mind when using our resources. We will update our information when we know more.
