Find a fit for your research: NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs)
As you begin your search for NIH research funding, it's important to understand the structure of the NIH. Figure out which NIH institutes, centers, and offices (ICOs) are most likely to support your project. Each NIH ICO has its own scientific mission, priorities, and budget. This NIH website has valuable information on various NIH offices and centers, and the Office of Research Funding can provide further assistance and guidance on aligning project goals and funding searches.
