Every successful journey starts with a good foundation. If you are new to working with NIH, this session will answer key questions. Where do I start? Where’s the funding? Where do I turn when I need help or advice? What opportunities are available and how can I find them? What’s the application process and how long does it take? We will walk you through the grants process and give you an overview of key resources and websites you will need to be successful.

Note: In an effort to standardize terminology across the government, NIH is joining other federal agencies in using the term notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs) rather than funding opportunity announcements (FOAs). You will see both terms in use while we work to update our websites and resources.
