NICHD spends most of its annual budget on support for research activities and training. It relies on processes, policies, and strategies to review, distribute, and manage grants; guide staff on addressing research and funding issues; and ensure the best use of funding dollars.
NIH's Office of Extramural Research highlights small business success stories in an interactive mapping tool. Learn more at https://www.sbir.nih.gov/stories.
This section outlines the grant process, describes federal and NICHD-specific grant policies, and explains funding strategies for achieving institute research goals.
