How to Apply
Award Procedure
Applicants submit the grant application in grants.gov following guidance provided in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Center for Scientific Review (CSR) assigns the application. A peer review process by Scientific Review Group (SRG) assigns an overall impact score. A second level peer review is done by NIAID’s advisory council which determines if there is concurrence with the initial peer review and evaluates program relevance, and fiscal considerations. NIAID selects proposals based on several factors including programmatic priorities/set-asides, budget availability for that fiscal year, and security risk as assessed by the HHS Due Diligence Program. The Council makes recommendations to NIAID leadership. After advisory council review NIAID program staff evaluates applications. NIAID officials under delegated HHS authority consider all factors and make funding decisions. The NIAID Grants Management Officer (GMO) issues a Notice of Award (NOA). The NOA is the legally binding document which obligates federal funds, specifies the approved budget and project period, establishes terms and conditions of the assistance. Only a GMO has authority to obligate Federal funds.
