In order to submit certain NIH grant applications, you must obtain pre-approval from NIDCR.

The links below provide pre-approval requirements for the NIDCR R13 Conference Grant Application and grant applications requesting $500,000 or more in direct costs for any project year.

Purpose

This document describes National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research’s (NIDCR) implementation of the NIH policy requiring research applications that request $500,000 or more in direct costs in any one year (excluding consortium facilities and administrative (F&A) costs) to obtain documented approval from the institute stating that it will accept a research application for initial peer review. This policy applies to new, resubmission, renewal, and revision applications.

Note: Budget requests for years prior to FY 2026 were submitted by prior Administrations and may not reflect current HHS policy.

NIDCR receives its budget through the annual appropriations for the Department of Health and Human Services and the NIH. Appropriations are authorized by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by the President.
