- NIAID Application Resources (Investigator Initiated). This institute has the most transparent resources & advice for scientists seeking
NIH funding, including exemplary application samples. It is important to note that
while many principles are great to follow across NIH, many others - mostly administrative
- are very specific to NIAID (and they do a good job telling you that).
- Concepts from the quarterly AC meetings at NIAID. These give you the best idea of what they are willing to fund in the near term.
