Grants Information

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)

A series of ARRA-related federal funding initiatives for NIH research will be emerging during the remainder of Fiscal 2009. The public law sets various parameters for allocating funds and accounting for results across a broad spectrum of federal programs. Agencies will establish procedures for making equitable funding decisions, and these will be published as quickly as they can be put in place.

NOTICE: NIH grant applications submitted for deadlines after January 7, 2009 (AIDS Grants), will only be allowed one revision. Applications submitted prior to October 16th, 2008, will be grandfathered to allow two revisions as has been previous practice.

From this page, you may select the NIH institute(s) for which you wish to identify funded grants, and a variety of pertinent information helpful to finding a research partner in a particular university or geographical region. Information includes the grant, an abstract, and contact information for the investigator.


Guidance for Applicants

Concept papers [Word File]. Grant applicants are encouraged to contact a DESPR program official (PO) to ensure that their concept is a good fit with evolving public health and scientific needs. It is often best if you draft a concept paper prior to contacting a PO as this will enable better guidance from officials on developing your grant application. PO contact information is listed on the web pages of each branch. Although there is no requirement to do so, experience tends to show that involving a PO early in a project's evolution results in a competitive application.
