NIH Proposal and Grant Requirements
The NIH provides financial support in the form of grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts. This assistance supports the advancement of the NIH mission of enhancing health, extending healthy life, and reducing the burdens of illness and disability. NIH, as a Federal grantor agency, is responsible for carrying out its mission in a manner that not only facilitates research but does so cost-effectively and in compliance with applicable rules and regulations. In order to meet its oversight obligations, NIH implements various policies, primarily through its Grants Policy Statements. The University has developed Policies and Procedures specifically for the purpose of complying with NIH requirements.
