Investigator-Initiated Research

Investigator-Initiated Research Applications

• Parent announcements are broad funding opportunity announcements allowing applicants to submit investigator-initiated applications for specific activity codes. They are open for up to 3 years and use standard due dates. 

  Not all NIH Institutes and Centers participate on all parent announcements. Before submitting your application, make sure NIDCR is listed as a participating organization in the announcement.
