NIH unveiled an all-new NIH Grants and Funding website on September 24, 2024. This site has been designed with you in mind. The new site is intended to enhance your journey through the NIH grants process with a modern interface and powerful features to make finding critical information easier.
What you should experience is:
- Clear navigation. Quickly find what you need with intuitive navigation, drop-down tab menus, and On This Page jump links.
- Centralized funding resources. Leverage our reorganization of information into broad, plain language funding categories to quickly drill down to relevant content and opportunities.
- Expanded NIH Guide search capabilities. Take advantage of additional search features and an expanded detailed view for search results in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts.
- Improved grants process information. Use the visual navigation and tight integration with our How to Apply - Application Guide in our new Grants Process tab to walk through each step in the application process and complete your grant applications.
- Easy access to the latest news and events. Stay informed with the latest NIH news, webinars, events, on-demand resources, and social media.
- Mobile-friendly design. Access the full range of resources anytime, anywhere, on any device.
Check it out! Take a video tour of the new site.
NIH Form I Application Package is coming soon!
Effective 1/25/25, all applications being submitted to NIH will need to be submitted on the new Form I. Please continue to use the Form H series for all proposal submissions prior to 1/25/25. The new Grant Applications Guide will post October 25, 2024. We will highlight the new changes to the Form I documents in the next edition of the Digest.
Use of SciENcv Required
The NIH Biosketch and Other Support Documents must be created in SciENcv starting May 25, 2025. NIH announced the adoption of common forms for the Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support will go into effect May 25, 2025 - see (NOT-OD-24-163). There are no changes to the data that will be collected on these forms. However, NIH will collect the personal statement, contributions to science and honors separately from the Common Forms on a new NIH Biosketch Supplement form. In addition, NIH will require all Senior/Key Personnel to link their ORCI ID to their eRA Commons Personal Profile.
What does this mean for you?
After May 24, 2025, all biosketches and other support documents will need to be created in SciENcv for proposals, RPPRs and JITs. NIH will no longer accept the NIH format biosketch.
