The NIH is the largest funding source for academic research in the United
States. You know you’re looking for NIH extramural
research funding– but
where to start?
The NIH Guide
for Grants and Contracts is the official publication for NIH medical and behavioral research grant policies,
guidelines and funding opportunities. It is also used by NIH Contracting offices
and other Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) agencies, to announce
their funding opportunities.
The NIH also has a weekly email
list serve which is used to announce new funding
opportunities. To subscribe to this list serve go to http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/guide/listserv.htm. Once
you sign up, you’ll receive an e-mail each week with new NIH Guide postings
and biomedical research grant funding opportunities.
For many new academic researchers, the first step in securing outside financial
support is through an R01 investigator initiated grant application. For a
comprehensive overview of the R01 application process head straight to Getting
Funded  .
Getting Funded is Chapter 9 in a series called Making
the Right Moves: A Practical Guide for Scientific Management for Postdocs and
New Faculty
published by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and
Burroughs Wellcome Fund, 2004.
