Purpose
To enable NIAID to fund different award
types for extramural activities, such as R01 for
a standard research
project grant.
Procedure
NIH publishes Types of Grant Programs to
define types of grants, cooperative
agreements, and other awards ICs use
to support extramural research. Not all ICs support all activity
codes, and the ICs may use them differently. NIAID staff can use the NIAID-specific Grant Types list.
When preparing initiatives, NIAID staff must determine award type. Extramural
research activities fall into three main categories: grants, contracts,
and cooperative
agreements.
- Grants provide assistance to grantees
who are responsible for the performance of the project.
- Cooperative
agreements are grants that require substantial scientific involvement
of NIAID
staff.
- Contracts
establish a procurement relationship between NIAID and a recipient.
Activity
codes are three digit identifiers of specific award types, which
may group together in different budget presentations to form
funding mechanisms,
such as R01 and P01 grants.
Program Officers
- Since NIAID supports different types of grants and contracts,
it may be difficult to select the appropriate activity code or funding
mechanism when writing an initiative. For clarification or guidance,
consult
with the
DEA staff listed below.

Division of Extramural Activities Staff
- Review each initiative concept to
determine the appropriateness of funding mechanism and activity code.
- Certify to the NIH
Office of Extramural Research that mechanisms and
activity codes are appropriate.
