NIH Parent Page
[For Investigator-Initiated or ‘Unsolicited’ Applications]
NIH and other agencies serviced by eRA Commons still want your investigator-initiated applications. Electronic grant applications are now always submitted in response to a Funding Opportunity Announcement. NIH has developed Parent announcements for use by applicants who wish to submit what were formerly termed investigator-initiated or ‘unsolicited’ applications. See NIH Parent Announcement Page.
URA suggests the following resources to help you prepare a grant application package: Sample NIH Application Package (PDF) (This sample package is a NIH version2a package*), Tips for PIs (PDF), and Tips for Administrators (PDF).
Below, URA has posted live parent packages with pre-filled institutional information (e.g. University address, DUNS number, EIN).
Note: Parent packages can only be used in response to the corresponding parent FOA (Funding Opportunity Announcement).
