It all begins with you!Extramural ResearchNIH has 3 major funding instruments to support extramural research:

Grant: Investigator decides the research to be designed or developed and the approach.

Contract: Government decides the research to fill their perceived need and establishes detailed requirements.

Cooperative Agreement: Similar to grants, but awarding Institute/Center (IC) and recipient have substantial involvement in carrying out the project's activities.3NIH Behavioral and Social Research Support in FY 2002NIMH$ 408.7 NIDA$ 377.3NICHD $ 250.2NCI $ 248.6NIA $ 243.5NIAAA$ 183.1NHLBI $ 108.7NINR$ 98.0NIDCD$ 87.9NINDS$ 71.0NCRR $ 54.5NEI $ 54.2NIDDK$ 42.0

What is a funding mechanism? Its not the levers and rods that operate the drawer on your friendly neighborhood ATM.It is a bewildering and baffling cacophony of generally incomprehensible acronyms that describe the kinds of grants that the NIH gives. In general the acronyms have all of the inherent meaning of the beat frequency of a distant pulsar.There is some sense, though:F = fellowshipT = trainingR = researchK = kareer development (Spelling is the Department of Education.)
