NIH Fogarty International Center Grants Process Part Four
The NIH Fogarty International Center plays a crucial role in supporting global health research through grant awards. The Center is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which supports both intramural and extramural research. Extramural research receives over 80% of NIH funding through competitive grants, benefitting thousands of researchers worldwide. The Fogarty International Center, along with other NIH institutes and centers, contributes to advancing biomedical and health research globally.

The NIH Supports Intramural and Extramural Research Intramural Research About 11% of the NIH's budget supports projects conducted by nearly 6,000 scientists in its own laboratories, most of which are on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. Extramural Research More than 80% of the NIH's funding is awarded through almost 50,000 competitive grants to more than 300,000 researchers at more than 2,500 universities, medical schools, and other research institutions in every state and around the world.

The National Institutes of Health Extramural Funding Instruments The NIH awarding institutes use three major instruments (thru FOA s) to provide funds to Organizations outside the NIH to accomplish program goals. 1) Contracts 2) Grants 3) Cooperative agreements Contracts are used by the NIH to get specific projects, or deliverables, accomplished within a certain timeframe. The remaining slides in this presentation focus on grants and cooperative agreements.
The NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements: How are they used? Grants: The NIH provides funds to support a proposed project. The NIH provides assistance. Cooperative Agreements: The NIH is a full partner in the project. The NIH provides assistance and substantial program involvement.
Applications for the NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements Grants and Cooperative Agreements are normally received by NIH in three ways thru FOA s: 1) Unsolicited Grant Application - CSR, NIH receives these applications. Grants.gov lists unsolicited grants as Parent Announcements. 2) Program Announcement (PA) Institutes or centers invite applications in general scientific areas of research. Funds, generally, are not set aside in advance for these projects. 3) Request for Application (RFA) - Institutes or centers invite applications in a well-defined scientific research area. Specific funds are set aside in advance for these projects.
Duel Peer Review System The first level of review is carried out by a Scientific Review Group (SRG) composed primarily of non-federal scientists who have expertise in relevant scientific disciplines, current research areas, and technical qualifications. SRG members: - Prepare a written critique for each application assigned, based on review criteria and judgment of merit - Assign a numerical score to each scored review criterion - Make recommendations concerning the scientific and technical merit of applications under review, in the form of final written comments and numerical scores - Make recommendations concerning protections for human subjects; inclusion of women, minorities, and children in clinical research; welfare of vertebrate animals; and other areas as applicable for the application - Make recommendations concerning appropriateness of budget
Duel Review System The second level of review is performed by Institute and Center (IC) National Advisory Councils or Boards. Councils are composed of both scientific and public representatives chosen for their expertise, interest, or activity in matters related to health and disease.
Dual Review System for the NIH Grant Applications Scientific Review Group (SRG) Provides Initial Scientific Merit Review of Grant Applications Rates Applications and makes Recommendations for Appropriate Level of Support and Duration of Award Second Level of Review: Institute or Center Council Assesses Quality of SRG Review of Grant Applications Makes Recommendation to Institute Staff on Funding Evaluates Program Priorities and Relevance Advises on Policy
Review Process for Grant Applications Submitted to CSR, NIH National Institutes of Health School or Other Research Center Research Grant Application Center for Scientific Review Assigns to IRG/Study Section & IC Study Section Initiates Research Idea Submits Application Evaluates for Scientific Merit Institute Evaluates for Program Relevance Advisory Councils and Boards Allocates Funds Conducts Research NIH Feedback to Congress Recommends Action Institute Director Takes final action for NIH Director
Peer Review The peer review of applications from foreign institutions is the same as that for applications from U.S. institutions and is described in the NIH Grants Policy Statement (10/12) Chapter 2.4: The Peer Review Process. In addition, the following are assessed as part of the review process and award decisions for applications from foreign institutions: Whether the project presents special opportunities for furthering research programs through the use of unusual talent, resources, populations, or environmental conditions in other countries that are not readily available in the United States or that augment existing U.S. resources. Whether the proposed project has specific relevance to the mission and objectives of the IC and has the potential for significantly advancing the health sciences in the United States
Project Monitoring Awards can be made normally from 1-5 years (except for multi-year awards) Each year grantees need to submit a noncompeting application detailing progress, budget information, and any changes At the end of the competitive segment, they provide a final progress report
Project Monitoring Grants are not like contracts in outcomes Breakthroughs or advances in science are usually brought to the attention of the U.S. Congress Success with a grant can result in publications and continued funding
Setting Research Priorities Some ways priorities are determined Portfolio analysis or evaluation Idea s from an NIH Institute s scientific staff Idea s from the NIH Institute s Council or Board Idea s from other Advisory or External Groups Areas of emphasis from Congress Areas of emphasis from the president The Institute Director makes final decisions
