Funding Opportunities

NIH Requires Detailed Budgets From Non-U.S. Grant Applicants

Beginning October 1, 2006, all competing National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant applications from non-U.S. institutions must include only detailed (non-modular) budgets. NIH announced the change in late August 2006 by publishing a notice, NOT-OD-06-096, in the NIH Guide. Domestic researchers may continue to use the modular budget format for grant applications.
