Your guide to writing successful NIH proposals
This page is a guide to National Institutes of Health (NIH) proposals. The NIH, part of the US Department of Health and Human Services, was founded in 1887 and is the largest public funder of biomedical research in the world. NIH comprises 27 Institutes and Centers or ICs, each with its own mission and priorities; 24 ICs receive separate funding, which it allocates to grants independently. NIH’s programs are organized by activity codes. The main types of grant funding include Research Grants (R series), Career Development Awards (K series), Research Training Grants and Fellowships (T & F series), Program Project/Center Grants (P series),Resource Grants, and Trans-NIH Programs.
