Funding

Disciplines: All

Following up on the sneak peek we provided a few weeks ago, we are pleased to announce that NIH launched the new NIH Grants and Funding website this week. Designed with the needs of the extramural research community in mind, the new site is intended to enhance your journey through the NIH grants process with a modernized interface and powerful features to make finding critical information easier than ever. We encourage you to explore the site at your leisure, and to familiarize yourself with the new content and layout.

A key change involves a redesign of the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts and related funding information. The new tools reduce reliance on activity codes and other NIH jargon to help you explore opportunities for funding in a more intuitive way.

The new site also includes improved grants process information. A visual process flow walks you through preparing to apply through post-award monitoring and reporting. Take a look at the redesigned How to Apply – Application Guide, which incorporates the new process flow.

Thank you to the thousands of users who have provided feedback on our site surveys over the years. Please know that the new site reflects this input, as well as significant amounts of user testing. Our team continually reviews feedback and uses it to make improvements. We would really like to hear your thoughts on the new site once you have had a chance to explore it. It’s always helpful to hear both what works well and how we can continue to improve.

Please note that many of our URLs have changed with this redesign. Although redirects are in place to minimize impact, we encourage you to update any references you may have to the site. While URLs for individual funding opportunities and notices have not changed, the links for the ‘Save Results’ feature of the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts have changed, so we encourage you to update your saved searches.

Happy exploring!
