We understand it can be quite stressful to hear NIH has withdrawn your submitted grant application before it went to peer review. In this NIH All About Grants podcast episode, we will get into why and how applications may be administratively withdrawn. Dr. Ray Jacobson, the Acting Director of the Division of Receipt and Referral at the Center for Scientific Review, walks us through the process.

As part of fostering a strong, robust, and diverse biomedical research workforce, NIH must engage scientists from various backgrounds and lived experiences to solve complex issues facing public health, including researchers with disabilities. This NIH All About Grants podcast episode discusses particular challenges these researchers may experience and how NIH is working to address them.

Milestone driven awards allow NIH to support riskier biomedical research projects. Unlike traditional research project grants many researchers may be familiar with, these awards have interim check-points (also referred to as “phases”) where progress towards achieving the objectives of the award are assessed.

Institutional training grants help prepare undergraduates, predoctoral students and postdoctoral scholars for careers in biomedical and behavioral research. Part 1 of this NIH All About Grants podcast miniseries dives into considerations for developing training grant applications and the review process, and part 2 focuses on post-award monitoring, mentorship, and provides insights for trainees.
