The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency — making important discoveries that improve health and save lives.
This grant program is designed to provide funding in response to emergency situations identified by the President, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), or other significant disaster scenarios. It supports applications that align with Emergency Notices of Special Interest (NOSIs) that are directly relevant to the emergency. These applications must be in response to an Emergency NOSI published by an NIH Institute or Center (IC) to be considered, ensuring that the funded research meets immediate and critical needs.
