NIH grant resources
- NIH Institutes
Quickly jump to any NIH institute, office, or center. - Types of Grant Programs
NIH uses activity codes (e.g. R01, R43, etc.) to differentiate the wide variety of research-related programs they support. NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) may vary in the way they use activity codes; not all ICs accept applications for all types of grant programs or they apply specialized eligibility criteria. Look closely at Funding Opportunity Announcements to determine which ICs participate and the specifics of eligibility. - NIH Grant Success Rates
