What should I do if I cannot find a Funding Opportunity Announcement dealing with my topic?

Answer:

Most NIH applications are investigator-initiated, not responding to a specific, tailored FOA.  Since the grants.gov website requires every applicant to enter an FOA number, investigator-initiated applications typically cite one of the “parent” FOAs, which can be found here: http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/funding/funding_program.htm (in the chart called Research Grants, look for the "See parent FOA" link for each grant type (e.g., R01, etc.))

When should I contact an NIA Program Officer?

Before you submit your application

After you receive your Summary Statement and Impact score

During the award:

  • When you have findings with public impact
  • Following natural disasters or other emergencies that will affect your research progress
  • When issues arise from population tracking enrollment

Where can I find information about NIA grants and funding opportunities for research?

Information about extramural research opportunities and how to apply for NIA funds can be found at www.nia.nih.gov/research. More information on applying for National Institutes of Health (NIH) research grants can be found at www.grants.nih.gov.
