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) then assigns the application. A peer review process by Scientific Review Group (SRG) determines 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 technical and scientific merit, programmatic priorities/set-asides, and budget availability that fiscal year. 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) and only the GMO has authority to obligate federal funds. The NOA is the legally binding document which obligates federal funds. The NOA specifies the approved budget period which is the specific time interval within the project period for which funds are provided.
