We’re pleased to share the notice of funding opportunity for the Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH) Planning Grants (PAR-24-041). This program supports Tribal entities, including federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native Tribes, Tribal colleges and universities, Tribal health programs, and Tribal organizations, to plan and conduct preparatory work for developing competitive NARCH S06 applications. The NARCH Planning Grant awards aim at expanding the reach of the NARCH S06 program, which supports health-related research, research career enhancement, and research infrastructure enhancement.

We’re pleased to announce that the notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs) for the Graduate Research Training Initiative for Student Enhancement (G-RISE; PAR-24-032) and Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD; PAR-24-031) programs have been reissued. These NOFOs aim to strengthen research training environments and promote broader participation in the biomedical research workforce by expanding the pool of well-trained scientists earning a Ph.D., for example, encouraging the inclusion of individuals from underrepresented groups (see Notice of NIH’s Interest in Diversity).
The new NOFOs have some changes from previous versions:

What Is Research Capacity Building?
Part of NIH’s mission is to increase the participation and representation of researchers at institutions that don’t receive large amounts of NIH funding. This includes institutions that have partnerships with Tribal organizations and that educate students from backgrounds underrepresented in biomedical research, and those in states and jurisdictions that traditionally have low levels of NIH funding.
Continue reading “A Primer on NIGMS Research Capacity Building Opportunities”The first post in this series introduced our Institute’s research priorities. This post outlines the major types of research project grants that NIGMS supports and where to find notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs) to which you can apply.

We’re pleased to announce a technical assistance webinar for people interested in applying for training grants in the predoctoral basic biomedical sciences (PAR-23-228). The next application due date is January 25, 2024.
During the webinar, we’ll provide a brief overview of the funding opportunity and answer your programmatic, budget, and scientific review questions. You can send questions before the webinar or post them in the chat box during the event:
Continue reading “Webinar for Predoctoral Basic Biomedical Sciences Research Training Program (T32) Applicants”We receive many questions from prospective applicants about getting NIGMS funding for their research: How do I know if my research fits within the scientific interests of NIGMS? What grant programs does the Institute offer? What are NIGMS’ research priorities? Whom do I talk to—and when—to learn more?
This post will help to answer those questions. And because it’s the first post in a new series from our staff, think of it as a primer for your initial interactions with us.
