About Higher Education Grants for 501(c)(3) Public Charity

The National Institutes of Health funds research training and capacity-building initiatives for higher education institutions, and 6,404 active grants in this category reflect the breadth of opportunity available to 501(c)(3) public charities. These awards span program development, workforce training, and institutional strengthening across the higher education landscape.

Most grants here are awarded through competitive application processes, with median awards ranging from $500K to $734K.

To narrow your search effectively, filter by support type—capacity building and training grants dominate this combination and tend to have faster funding cycles than broader research initiatives.
