Biomedical Research and Research Training

 

The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) supports basic research that increases our understanding of biological processes and lays the foundation for advances in disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. NIGMS also supports research in specific clinical areas that affect multiple organ systems: anesthesiology and peri-operative pain; clinical pharmacology ?common to multiple drugs and treatments; and injury, critical illness, sepsis, and wound healing.? NIGMS-funded scientists investigate how living systems work at a range of levelsfrom molecules and cells to tissues and organsin research organisms, humans, and populations. Additionally, to ensure the vitality and continued productivity of the research enterprise, NIGMS provides leadership in supporting the training of the next generation of scientists, enhancing the diversity of the scientific workforce, and developing research capacity throughout the country.

NIGMS trainees must be U.S. citizens, non-citizen nationals, or permanent residents. Any nonprofit or for-profit organization, company or institution engaged in biomedical research. Each applicant for research projects must present a research plan and furnish evidence that scientific competence, facilities, equipment, and supplies are appropriate to carry out the plan. Preapplication coordination is not applicable. 2 CFR 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards applies to this program. NIH announces availability of funds for grant programs by issuing notices of funding opportunities in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts (https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide) and on Grants.gov (https://www.grants.gov). Application packages are available at and must be submitted through Grants.gov. All approved applications compete for available funds on the basis of scientific merit and program emphasis. For an overview of NIGMS' grant funding policy, see https://www.nigms.nih.gov/research/pages/policies.aspx. Application due dates are provided in each notice of funding opportunity. Project Grants: about 9 months. NRSA: (institutional) 9-12 months, (individual) 6 months. Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)/Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR): about 6 months. A principal investigator may question the substantive or procedural aspects of the review of his/her application by communicating with the staff of the Institute. A description of the NIH Peer Review Appeal procedures is available on the NIH website at https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-11-064.html. Renewal grants are generally made prior to the expiration of any current award. All accepted applications are reviewed for scientific and technical merit by an appropriate initial review group and by a national advisory council. For an overview of NIGMS grant application and review, see https://www.nigms.nih.gov/research/application/pages/grantapprev.aspx. For more information about NIGMS, visit https://www.nigms.nih.gov. NIGMS is organized into divisions that support research, research training, and capacity building in a range of scientific fields. Division of Biophysics, Biomedical Technology, and Computational Biosciences: Facilitates advances in basic biomedical research by supporting: the development of experimental and computational methods and tools for understanding biology; implementation of novel technologies and approaches in the study of macromolecular, organelle, and cellular structure and function; and application of innovative physical and theoretical methodologies, bioinformatics tools, and quantitative approaches to lay a foundation for advances in disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. The long-term goals of the division are to leverage data, methods, and technologies to answer fundamental biological questions, to develop a more robust infrastructure for the biomedical research community, and to promote and facilitate the development and use of new biophysical, computational, and experimental technologies in biomedical research. Division of Genetics and Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology: Supports research to understand the structure and function of cells and cellular components and the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie inheritance, gene expression, and development. In most cases, research whose overall goal is to gain knowledge about a specific organ or organ system or the pathophysiology, treatment, or cure of a specific disease or condition is not supported by this division. Division of Pharmacology, Physiology, and Biological Chemistry: Supports a broad spectrum of research aimed at improving the molecular-level understanding of biological processes and approaches to their control. Research funded takes a multifaceted approach to problems in pharmacology, physiology, biochemistry, and biological chemistry that are very fundamental in nature. NIGMS supports a variety of research opportunities including fellowships, career awards, research grants, technology development awards, and small business grants. Division for Research Capacity Building: Administers the Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program that supports research, research workforce development, and research infrastructure improvement in states where levels of NIH funding have historically been low. The Division also oversees the Native American Research Centers for Health, Support for Research Excellence, and the Science Education Partnership Awards programs. Division of Training, Workforce Development, and Diversity: Supports programs that foster the training and development of a strong and diverse biomedical research workforce. The Division funds research training, career development and diversity-enhancing activities through a variety of programs at the undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral, faculty and institutional levels. In addition, it administers the NIH Common Fund initiative, Enhancing the Diversity of the NIH-Funded Workforce. Performance Reports: Varies by program, always on an annual basis Audits of profit making organizations are addressed in 45 CFR Part 72 (Subpart C, Section 74.26). In addition, grants and cooperative agreements are subject to inspection and audits by DHHS and other federal government officials. Expenditures and other financial records must be retained for 3 years from the day on which the grantee submits the last financial status report for the report period. Statutory formula is not applicable to this assistance listing.

Matching requirements are not applicable to this assistance listing.

MOE requirements are not applicable to this assistance listing. Almost all awards are made for at least 1 year, with additional support (up to 4 more years) depending on the recommendation of the scientific review group, the national advisory council, successful annual performance, and availability of funds. varies by program, always on an annual basis None/Not specified.
