As the primary U.S. funder for biomedical and behavioral
research, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is a complex organization
that may seem unfathomable to grant seekers.
This session will draw back the curtain on NIH, providing
an overview of:
• Mission and structure of NIH
• Getting a sense of what NIH
funds
• Funding mechanisms and funding
opportunity announcements (FOAs)
• NIH electronic application
submission process and tools
• How the application and review
processes work
• Roles of the NIH extramural
staff
• Recent updates in policies and
systems
Strategies for finding the appropriate program area and
funding opportunity to support your research also will be discussed.
