Funding Opportunities in Biomedical Informatics and Computational Biology
Tips for applying for support from NIH
1. Computational tips: Approaching NIH For Support For A Computational Project
2. Reference Compendium of government programs, initiatives, and public-private partnerships that have a significant component of biomedical informatics and computational biology.
3. General tips: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/grant_tips.htm
4. Contact NIH staff: Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss their proposed projects with an NIH Institute or Center (IC) representative prior to preparing an application. NIH representatives can provide guidance regarding 1) the suitability of the project towards supporting the mission of the IC, 2) the most appropriate funding mechanism for the proposed work, and 3) whether or not the IC would encourage submittal. All of the announcements that are listed below have lists of NIH review, program, and grants management staff. The Innovations in Biomedical Computational Science and Technology programs solicit applications for funding where the preponderance of effort involves biomedical informatics and computational biology. This program has specialized contacts from the various Institutes and Centers, and they welcome contacts related to their programs. The Innovations program for regular grants (R01—PAR 06 410) and exploratory grants (R21—PAR 06 411), and the contacts are at http://www.bisti.nih.gov/R01-contacts.cfm. The Innovations program for SBIR/STTRs are PAR 07 160 and PAR 07 161, and the contacts are at http://www.bisti.nih.gov/SBIR-contacts.cfm.
The following section contains information on (1) active NIH and BISTI Consortium
research and training opportunities in bioinformatics and (2) funding
opportunities in biomedical computing for other agencies. Additional
information on the NIH funding opportunities can be obtained from
the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Information on "NIH
Research and Training Opportunities", "How
to Write a Research Grant Application", "What
Happens to a Grant Application After It Is Received for Peer Review",
