What Happens After the Stimulus Ends

Introduction
As we noted on earlier pages, the stimulus funds are two-year monies that we must spend within that timeframe. This money is not part of the NIAID funding base.
A No-Stimulus Budget
In the FY 2011 budget, NIAID will no longer have stimulus funds to spend, and the budget is not likely to increase enough to make up for the end of stimulus funding.
Further, hundreds of grants funded with stimulus money will end in FY 2010, and many of those investigators will be applying to renew their funding. Many other investigators will likely apply for funding in FY 2011, including people trying to renew their grants.

The Institute does not expect the growth in our base funding level to be sufficient for establishing a payline to continue funding all those grants. Neither will NIAID have R56-Bridge award money to extend them.
As a result, we expect the payline to drop precipitously. FY 2011 and perhaps the following years will be very difficult for people to secure funding, whether they are funded from the stimulus funds or the regular appropriation.
Strategy for Funding After the Stimulus
In either case, you may want to think about a strategy for applying.
For example, get the research done so you can strongly justify your grant's recompetition. Keep your timing options open, recognizing that FY 2011 and possibly the subsequent year or two will be very difficult for applicants. Find more advice on strategies in Part 2. Game Plan of the NIH Grant Cycle: Application to Renewal.
Be aware that we cannot fund a resubmission to your stimulus two-year grant. But if you submit a renewal early and get a fundable score, we can terminate the two-year award early. This is a departure from our normal policy.
