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

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.

NICHD Research Priorities
NICHD funds research in areas relevant to normal and abnormal human development, including contraception, fertilization, pregnancy, childbirth, prenatal and postnatal development, childhood development through adolescence, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and rehabilitation medicine.
Grant applications and project proposals must fall within the missions of the scientific branches of NICHD's Division of Extramural Research or its National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research. Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to visit these pages for recent scientific advances and emerging public health topics.

If you have questions about projects within a specific research area, you may find an NICHD program officer at https://www.nichd.nih.gov/grants-contracts/research-areas/priorities or 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.

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) uses the Small Grants Program (R03) to provide research support for new research projects in areas of high relevance to the mission of the NINDS (NINDS Mission). Priority will be given to applications in any of the following categories:

 

• Research projects leading to a defined product, resource or "deliverable" that has inherent value to the neuroscience community. Some examples include: creation of new animal models (e.g., mouse genetic models), generation of reagents (e.g., antibodies, RNAi, affinity capture reagents for use in a protein chip microarray), development of public resources (e.g., databases), development of cellular models for neurological disorders, development of novel phenotypic or behavioral screens for models of neurological disorders.
• Research projects that, regardless of whether they are hypothesis-driven, will generate an important and potentially publishable unit of information or dataset (either by itself or in combination with other data). Such projects should utilize a well-designed model of the normal or diseased nervous system. Some examples include: microarray gene expression analyses, proteomic analyses, pre-clinical drug screens.
• Research projects focused on secondary analysis of clinical data sets. This mechanism could also be appropriate for the collection of samples and/or associated clinical data to be included in the NINDS Genetics Repository (see: NINDS Human Genetics Resource Center).

Priority will be given to research proposals that include a detailed plan for the sharing of resources and data generated under this award. Potential applicants are advised to contact program staff to verify that the proposed research is relevant to NINDS and responsive to one of the listed criteria.
