Application

This episode of the NIH All About Grants podcast explores language access for participants in NIH supported clinical research. Ms. Melissa McGowan, the Deputy Director of the Office of Clinical Research within the National Institute on Aging’s Division of Extramural Activities, and Ms. Dawn Corbett, NIH’s Inclusion Policy Officer, will explain how to consider language access when proposing research in a grant application.

We understand it can be quite stressful to hear NIH has withdrawn your submitted grant application before it went to peer review. In this NIH All About Grants podcast episode, we will get into why and how applications may be administratively withdrawn.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.

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.

Your application was submitted on time. The study section meeting is coming. But, you just got some new information that may be helpful for the application. Can you include it? Dr. Stephanie Constant, NIH’s Review Policy Officer, joins us in this next episode of the NIH All About Grants podcast to talk about Post Submission materials.

Your application was "not discussed." What does this actually mean? What should you do next?

We are discussing Not Discussed in this NIH All About Grants podcast episode. Dr. Gene Carstea, a Review Branch Chief at the Center for Scientific Review, will share insights on the NIH peer review process, how many applications are not discussed, reasons why, who to contact, appealing a not discussed decision, and much more.

In this NIH All About Grants podcast episode, we share advice for investigators to help them understand the critiques of their application, and how program staff input may be helpful when deciding what to do next. Drs.

This NIH All About Grants podcast episode walks through the timelines you should keep in mind when preparing an NIH grant application. Avery Tucker and Kasima Garst from the Office of Policy for Extramural Research Administration within the NIH’s Office of Extramural Research join us for this conversation.

You may have heard that NIH can provide limited, interim research support for applications with creative and innovative approaches that fell just outside of fundability. These “bridge awards” are helpful for researchers to gather additional data to revise their current application. But, how do we decide on which applications to support this way?

We’ve just released two more All About Grants podcasts in this 4-part series, designed to help you learn more about the roles of NIH extramural staff, as well as who you should talk to for help at different stages of the grants award and application process.
