Introduction

The R03 grant mechanism will support small research projects that can be carried out in a short period of time with limited resources. The NIH has standardized the Small Grant (R03) application characteristics, requirements, preparation, and review procedures in order to accommodate investigator-initiated (unsolicited) applications. See the NIH Small Grant Program (R03) page for more information.

There is also a list of ICs that do not accept unsolicited R03 applications. Non-participating ICs might solicit other R03 applications using Requests for Applications (RFAs) or Program Announcements (PAs) to meet specific program needs. Information about such initiatives can be obtained in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts at https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/index.html and by consulting with NIH staff. In some cases those announcements may specify different appl

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 (http://www.ninds.nih.gov/about_ninds/ninds_overview.htm). 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: http://ccr.coriell.org/Sections/Collections/NINDS/?SsId=10).

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.

The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) uses the Small Grant (R03) mechanism to provide support for new investigators who are in the early stages of establishing independence in the areas of dental and craniofacial research.  By supporting small pilot or feasibility studies, these awards are intended to facilitate subsequent submission of an application for an Individual Research award (R01).  For more detailed information regarding scientific areas of interest, go to the NIDCR website: http://www.nidcr.nih.gov/Research/Extramural/default.htm

Only New Investigators are eligible to apply.  Individuals who have received NIH support for previous individual research awards (R03 or R01) are not eligible.  Individuals who have received an Academic Research Enhancement Award (R15), an exploratory/developmental grant (R21), a Shannon Award (R55), an NIH High Priority, Short-Term Project Award (R56), or a mentored career development award (K01, K08, K12, K16, K22, K23, K25, K99/R00, F30, F32, and T32) are eligible.  Any current support by the F32 and T32 mechanisms must be terminated before an R03 grant can be awarded.  When Multiple Principal Investigators are proposed, all PIs must meet the definition of New Investigator for this box to be checked.

More than one PD/PI, or multiple PDs/PIs, may be designated on the application for projects that require a “team science” approach that clearly does not fit the single-PD/PI model. Additional information on the implementation plans and policies and procedures to formally allow more than one PD/PI on individual research projects is available at https://grants.nih.gov/grants/multi_pi. All PDs/PIs must be registered in the NIH eRA Commons prior to the submission of the application (see https://grants.nih.gov/grants/ElectronicReceipt/preparing.htm for instructions).

The decision of whether to apply for a single PD/PI or multiple PD/PI grant is the responsibility of the investigators and applicant organizations and should be determined by the scientific goals of the project. Applications for multiple PD/PI grants will require additional information, as outlined in the instructions below. The NIH review criteria for approach, investigators, and environment have been modified to accommodate applications involving either a single PD/PI or multiple PDs/PIs. When considering multiple PDs/PIs, please be aware that the structure and governance of the PD/PI leadership team as well as the knowledge, skills and experience of the individual PD/PIs will be factored into the assessment of the overall scientific merit of the application.  Multiple PDs/PIs on a project share the authority and responsibility for leading and directing the project, intellectually and logistically. Each PD/PI is responsible and accountable to the grantee organization, or, as appropriate, to a collaborating organization, for the proper conduct of the project or program, including the submission of required reports. For further information on multiple PDs/PIs, please see https://grants.nih.gov/grants/multi_pi.

NIDCR requires that the Project Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) commit a minimum of 20% effort to the R03 project.   Budgets for direct costs of up to $150,000 over a two-year period may be requested.   In addition, letters of support from the Institution (preferably from the Dean or Department Chair) are strongly encouraged.  The letters should describe the nature of the PD/PIs appointment and commitments to the PD/PI, such as laboratory space, office space, technical assistance, and travel funds.
