Research Grants (R series) | NIDCD NIH Websites Are Changing Get the Latest Updates and FAQs Research Grants (R series) Research grants make up the largest category of funding and support by NIDCD.

These grants may be awarded to universities, medical and other health professional schools, colleges, hospitals, research institutes, for-profit organizations, and government institutions that sponsor and conduct biomedical research and development.

Research grants may provide funds for salaries, equipment, supplies, travel, and other allowable direct costs of the research as well as for indirect costs to the sponsoring institution or organization. Research Project Grant (R01) Stephen I.

The R01 is considered the traditional grant mechanism.

These grants are awarded to organizations on behalf of an individual (a principal investigator, or PI) to facilitate pursuit of a research objective in the area of the investigator's research interests and competence.

nih. gov NIH Research Enhancement Award (R15) The NIH Research Enhancement Award (R15) program supports small-scale research projects at educational institutions that provide baccalaureate or advanced degrees for a significant number of the nation’s research scientists but that have not been major recipients of NIH support.

The goals of the R15 are to support meritorious research, expose students to research, and strengthen the institution’s research environment. This program replaces the NIH Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) Parent Announcement , which expired on January 7, 2019, and will not be reissued.

The R15 activity code now includes two programs: Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) for Undergraduate–Focused Institutions Academic Research Enhancement Award for Undergraduate-Focused Institutions (R15 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed) at grants. nih. gov Academic Research Enhancement Award for Undergraduate-Focused Institutions (R15 - Clinical Trial Required) at grants.

These studies may involve considerable risk but may lead to a breakthrough in a particular area or to the development of novel techniques, agents, methodologies, models, or applications that could have a major impact on a field of biomedical, behavioral, or clinical research.

gov Early Career Research (ECR) Award (R21) The NIDCD Early Career Research (ECR) R21 Award supports both basic and clinical research from scientists who are beginning to establish an independent research career. It cannot be used for thesis or dissertation research.

The research must be focused on one or more of the areas within the biomedical and behavioral scientific mission of NIDCD: hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech, or language.

The NIDCD ECR Award R21 grant mechanism supports different types of projects including secondary analysis of existing data; small, self-contained research projects; development of research methodology; translational research; outcomes research; and development of new research technology.

Irrespective of the type of project, the intent of the NIDCD ECR Award R21 is for the program director(s)/principal investigator(s) (PD(s)/PI(s)) to obtain sufficient preliminary data for a subsequent R01 application.
