The National Institutes Of Health Grant Process

The National Institutes of Health offer various grants throughout the year, focusing on specific types of grants for projects of high scientific caliber, investigator-initiated research, and unique research projects.

Applicants can find eligibility information in section 3 of each funding opportunity announcement. The three most common types of applicants are: individuals, including pre-doctoral students to experienced research centers; institutions, including, domestic, foreign, public, private, nonprofit, and for profit organizations; and foreign eligibility.

When preparing to submit an application for a grant, there are three steps to follow:

1.   Planning – Applicant should start early, collect preliminary data, and establish internal deadlines.
2.   Writing – Applicant often begins writing application several months prior to application due date.
3.   Submitting – Applicant organization submits application to NIH/Division of Receipt and Referral (DRR), Center for Scientific Review (CSR).

Once your application has been sent, there are many more steps for your grant application to go through before you are awarded funding.

First, your application arrives at CSR. Depending on the fact that your application is compliant with NIH policies, your application is assigned for review and funding consideration. CSR assigns your application to an NIH Institute/Center (IC) and a Scientific Review Group (SRG). A Scientific Review Officer (SRO) assigns the application to reviewers and readers. These steps can take anywhere from one to three months to be completed.

Once your application has gone through the above administrative steps, it is then sent for peer review. During the initial Level of Review, SRG members review and evaluate you application for scientific merit. Priority scores are evaluated and made available to PD/PIs or eRA Commons. A summary statement is then created and sent to a second level of review by the advisory council/board. These steps can take anywhere from one to four months to be completed.

If your application has passed the previous steps, it is then sent through the award process. During the Pre-Award Process, the IC grants management staff conducts a final administrative review and negotiates an award. The IC then issues and sends a Notice of Award (NoA) to you, and your project period officially begins. This process can take one to two months to complete.

Post award management includes administrative and fiscal monitoring, reporting and compliance. This ensures the grant funding is being used in the capacity it was awarded.

The NIH has a cycle program for grant application deadlines. You can view the application deadlines on http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/submissionschedule.htm. Specific submission forms must be completed to be considered for a grant. You can also find the submission forms at the address listed above.

Pathological Eating Disorders and Poly-Behavioral Addiction

By James Slobodzien
According to the World Health Organization (June, 2005), �obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally, with more than 1 billion adults overweight - at least 300 million of them clinically obese - and is a major contributor to the global burden of chronic disease and disability. This article purports that the poor prognosis in treating patients with obesity may possibly be due to not diagnosing and treating thier other poly-behavioral addictions simultaneously. This systematic underdiagnostic standard in the field of addictions could be due to a lack of diagnostic tools and resources that are presently incapable of resolving the complexity of assessing and treating a patient with multiple behavioral and substance abuse addictions. The Addictions Recovery Measurement System (ARMS) is proposed as a first step in fighting this global War on Poly-behavioral Addictions.
