Good news, NIAID just posted two new high-scoring, successful Sample Grant Applications and summary statements as teaching examples for the community.
On behalf of the applicant community and NIAID, we offer sincere gratitude to the grantees and principal investigators who generously agreed to share the following small business innovation research (SBIR) Phase I (R43) and cooperative agreement (U01) summary statements and full applications:
| PI and Grantee Institution | Application Resources |
|---|---|
| Iain James MacLeod, Ph.D., of Aldatu Biosciences, Inc. “PANDAA for universal, pan-lineage molecular detection of Lassa fever infection.” (SBIR Phase I / R43, Forms-E)
|
|
| Aaron Meyer, Ph.D., of the University of California, Los Angeles Falk Nimmerjahn, Ph.D., of Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany "Mapping the effector response space of antibody combinations" (U01, Forms-E)
|
These well-written examples may give you ideas for how you could effectively present your Specific Aims, Research Strategy, and other text sections.
That said, be aware that these applications reflect the older Forms-E version of the SF 424 and instructions. Do not use them as a model for how to complete forms or assume they reflect all required elements. Your application must follow the appropriate instructions in your opportunity announcement and the latest NIH SF 424 Application Guide.
Speaking of form version and instruction changes, you may want to review these recent articles:
- September 1, 2021 “NIH Announces FORMS-G Transition, Implementation Plans”
- June 16, 2021 “New Formats and Instructions for Other Support and Biographical Sketches”
Find NIAID guidance on preparing an effective grant application:
- Contact an NIAID Program Officer in your area of science for application advice, NIAID's perspective on your research, and confirmation that NIAID will accept your application.
- Check the Grants & Contracts section of the NIAID website for instructions and advice on how to Find a Funding Opportunity, prepare and Apply for a Grant, what happens After You Submit, how to Manage Your Award, and much more.
Expect more Sample Applications in the coming months. As we finalize and post additions, we will alert you through articles like this one and our @NIAIDFunding Twitter account.
