Funding Opportunities

• NIH-funded research includes the development and use of animal models, and the promotion of high quality research facilities and healthy animals. The National Center for Research Resources’ Comparative Medicine website contains resources about many such funding opportunities.
• Various Institutes and Centers (ICs) of the NIH offer funding opportunities to improve the development of animal models and the care of animals in the research context. OER encourages you to search our NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts to identify mechanisms for your next grant application.
  

Here are some examples of the kinds of funding opportunities NIH has available.
