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 on Aging (NIA) Scientific Program Contacts: Grants Management Contact: |

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Scientific Program Contacts: Madelon Halula, PhD Suman Mukhopadhyay, Ph.D. Grants Management Contact: |
|
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. |
Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Scientific Program Contact: Grants Management Contact: |
NICHD Research Priorities 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: |
National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Scientific Program Contact: Grants Management Contact: |
|
National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) Scientific Program Contact: Grants Management Contact: |
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) uses the Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Award (R21) to support the development of novel ideas, technologies, or methodologies at an early stage of development which have the potential to break new ground or extend toward new directions or applications. The NIDCD supports basic and clinical biomedical and behavioral research in the communication sciences of hearing, balance, smell, taste, voice, speech and language. The proposed research must be focused on one or more of these scientific mission areas. |

National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Scientific Program Contact: Grants Management Contact: |
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) will accept investigator-initiated research projects using the R21 mechanism for all areas of environmental health science research; particularly those defined as NIEHS special emphasis areas. Details on these areas can be found at http://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/supported/programs/index.cfm. |
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) NIMH Program Staff contacts Inquiries may be directed to [email protected] |
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
NIMH also participates in Joint NINDS/NIMH Exploratory Neuroscience Research Grant (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) which supports exploratory and foundational studies which may involve considerable risk but may lead to breakthroughs in important areas of neuroscience, or to the development of novel techniques, reagents, methodologies, or models, of high value to the neuroscience community. |
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 (http://www.ninr.nih.gov/AboutNINR/NINRMissionandStrategicPlan/). Please contact the NINR Program Officer listed in the area of science in which you are interested. NINR Program Staff contacts may be found at: https://www.ninr.nih.gov/research/desp/desp-program-officers |
National Library of Medicine (NLM) Scientific Program Contact: Clayton Bingham, PhD Catherine Farrell, PhD Goutham Reddy, MD, MS Sung Sug (Sarah) Yoon, PhD Grants Management Contact: |
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) supports innovative research and development in biomedical informatics and data science. This funding opportunity focuses on biomedical discovery and data-powered health, integrating streams of complex and interconnected research outputs that can be translated into scientific insights, clinical care, public health practices, and personal wellness. The scope of NLM's interest in these research domains is broad, with emphasis on new and innovative methods and approaches to foster data driven discovery in the biomedical and clinical health sciences as well as domain-independent, scalable, and reusable/reproducible approaches to discovery, curation, analysis, organization, and management of health-related digital objects. |
Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) ODSS program contact: |
Office of Data Science Strategy Specific Information: The NIH Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) is committed to growing a strong and diverse data science community and ensuring that data science advances in biomedical and health research can benefit all populations. ODSS is interested in supporting Career Development Award projects in data science areas including but not limited to: artificial intelligence, clinical informatics, cloud computing, statistics, computational science, software design and programming, bioinformatics, visualization, machine learning, predictive analytics, supercomputing, modeling and simulation, digital health, data sharing and access, data management, data security and data privacy in human subject’s research, and research ethics and integrity. Applications are strongly encouraged from individuals from diverse backgrounds, including from groups that are underrepresented in the biomedical, clinical, behavioral and social sciences, in alignment with the Notice of NIH’s Interest in Diversity (NOT-OD-20-031). |
