As the primary U.S. funder for biomedical and behavioral research, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is a complex organization that may seem unfathomable to grant seekers. This session will draw back the curtain on NIH, providing an overview of:

 

• Mission and Structure of NIH

• Getting a Sense of What NIH Funds

• Funding Mechanisms and Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs)

• NIH Electronic Application Submission Process and Tools

• How the Application and Review Processes Work

• Roles of the NIH Extramural Staff

• Recent updates in policies and application requirements

Resources and types of assistance provided to potential NIH applicants by the Research and Large Center Development Office also will be discussed.
