National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) Scientific Program Contacts: Grants Management Contact: |
NHGRI supports resources, approaches, and technologies that accelerate genomic research focused on the structure and biology of genomes; the genomics of disease; the implementation and effectiveness of genomic medicine; computational genomics and data science; the impact of genomic technology, advances, and implementation on health disparities and health equity; and ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) related to genomic advances. In general, NHGRI supports studies that provide generalizable methods and knowledge. Approaches that are comprehensive across the genome or are generalizable across variants, tissues, diseases, or function may be in scope for NHGRI to the extent they address priority areas described in the NHGRI 2020 Strategic Vision: https://www.genome.gov/2020SV Applications for studies relevant only to a particular disease or organ system should be directed to the appropriate Institute or Center. Applications whose primary scientific objective is to understand a single biological or behavioral process, the pathophysiology of a disease, or the mechanism of action of an intervention do not fall under the mission of NHGRI. NHGRI strongly encourages potential applicants to contact program staff in the early stages of developing your application: https://www.genome.gov/research-funding/Funding-Opportunities-Overview/contacts-by-research-area |

National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) Scientific Program Contacts: Grants Management Contact:
|
NIBIB interests include the development and integration of advanced bioengineering, sensing, imaging, and computational technologies for the improvement of human health and medical care. An application is not within the NIBIB mission if its principal focus is the development of a technology with the goal of understanding basic biological function or pathological mechanisms. Additionally, NIBIB only supports projects developing platform technologies that are applicable to a broad spectrum of disorders and diseases. However, applicants may propose research that utilizes only a single tissue, organ, or physiological condition as a model system to facilitate the development of what is expected to be a more broadly applicable enabling technology. Potential applicants are encouraged to contact the appropriate Program Director in their scientific program area of interest (https://www.nibib.nih.gov/research-funding) to determine if their research fits within the NIBIB mission. |

National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) Scientific Program Contact: Grants Management Contact: |
The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) will accept investigator-initiated research projects (R01) for all program areas supported by the Institute. |
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) Scientific Program Contact: Grants Management Contact: |
Only applications that fall within the scientific mission of the NINDS will be accepted and considered for funding by NINDS (NINDS Mission). To assess the relevance of an application topic, applicants are strongly encouraged to contact NINDS program staff before submitting. A listing of NINDS program staff can be found at: Program Directors and Managers. |
National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) Scientific Program Contact: Grants Management Contact: |
The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) will accept applications for projects in areas that are mission-relevant (The National Institute of Nursing Research 2022-2026 Strategic Plan). Please contact the NINR Program Director listed in the area of science in which you are interested.

National Library of Medicine (NLM) Scientific Program Contact: Grants Management Contact: |
NLM Scientific/Research Contacts, listed by program portfolio, may be found at: NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Program (Parent R21 Clinical Trail Not Allowed) (PA-20-195) |
Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) Scientific Program Contact: Grants Management Contact: |
The proposed project should be resource-related and aimed at developing, improving, characterizing, and preserving animal models and biomaterials, and related technologies, and methodologies, relevant to human health and diseases. The proposed project must have broad application to multiple NIH Institutes or Centers (ICs) to align with the NIH-wide mission of the Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP). The proposed studies must explore multiple body systems or evaluate diseases that impact multiple body systems. Applications that develop models focused on a specific disease or area of research or propose studies primarily relevant to a single NIH IC and only peripherally to the interests of other ICs will be considered not acceptable. |
