NIH Resources
Researchers can access NIH tools, policies, and guidance to support proposal development and project management.
Here you’ll find links to resources such as sample grant applications, data management and sharing plans, biosketch templates, and information on NIH funding mechanisms. Additional materials cover topics like budget preparation, animal research requirements, scientific rigor, and data reporting standards. Whether you’re preparing your first NIH submission or refining an existing proposal, these resources are designed to help you meet NIH expectations and strengthen the competitiveness of your research.
NIH has great resources for Communicating and Acknowledging Federal Funding | Grants & Funding. You are encouraged to use this resource. We ask that PIs review and update your program websites to ensure that any programmatic efforts, including publication guidance, are consistent with NIH priorities and guidelines.
