Challenges and Prizes | Grants & Funding U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health To address special problems and challenges in biomedical research, NIH competitions and prizes solicit, showcase, and support participants’ transformative solutions and achievements. What is a challenge or prize competition?
A challenge or prize competition is a type of project that allows the public to solve challenges presented by federal agencies and receive awards for the best solutions. The process boils down to three steps: Agency announces a prize competition and invites the public to solve it. Participants create and submit solutions to the problem.
Agency evaluates solutions and awards prizes to the best ones. How do challenges and prize competitions vary from grants and contracts? In grants and contracts, an agency receives proposals to do tasks or research, chooses one or more entities to participate, and then pays the monetary award incrementally for the work to be done .
In prize competitions, an agency generally selects a winner or winners based on the work that has already been done . In prize competitions, only the winner(s) receives an award. Prize competitions define a smaller set of requirements, which allow participants to bring their creative solutions.
This can be advantageous when a problem can be solved in many different ways, including ways that the agency is not even aware of. The open innovation approach can entice participation from those who may not have direct expertise in the problem subject matter area but can lend expertise from their diverse backgrounds. How does NIH announce challenges and prize competitions?
You can find open challenges and prize competitions on: NIH Challenges and Prize Competitions . Notices of information in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts . Each announcement will include submission details and contact information.
Under what authorities does NIH conduct challenges and prize competitions? The America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010 (COMPETES) provides prize authority to the head of each federal agency. This page last updated on: January 14, 2026 For technical issues E-mail OER Webmaster

PA-27-037 consolidates the Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Transition Award into a single parent announcement across 20 NIH components, with the next deadline December 8, 2026. The eligibility gate is not the science — it is a mandatory change of institution and mentor between the F99 and K00 phases.
Read articleA draft executive order would have put OMB Director Russell Vought on a commission with final say over NIH awards after peer review. Sen. Collins killed it by pointing at a provision Congress already passed. Here is what the episode teaches applicants about the December 11 cliff.
Read articlePA-27-034, PA-27-035 and PA-27-036 replace the institute-specific R25 announcements that research education programs have been built around for a decade. NCI, NIDA and NIGMS have already expired theirs early. Here is what the consolidation actually changes: an 8% indirect cost ceiling, a US-citizens-and-permanent-residents participant rule, a cooperative agreement variant that only exists on one of the three, and no clinical-trial-allowed companion anywhere.
