NIH Academy Application


Exented Deadline: May 21, 2025

Last, First

If applicable

Eligibility*
  • Tenure-track assistant professors or research assistant professors
  • Recently tenured (within 3 years) associate professors or research associate professors who have not yet won a substantial NIH independent research award (see ESI status)
  • Research associates with a track record of securing independent research grants


NOTE: Other faculty (associate professors beyond 3 years from tenure and full professors) may apply if they are significantly changing research directions or targeting NIH for the first time due to changes in the federal funding landscape. The OVPRI will prioritize faculty applying for their first R01 (or equivalent, such as a DP2 or MIRA) for inclusion in the Academy. However, faculty working on their first resubmission of an R01 (or equivalent) are also welcome to apply.


Please indicate your title/rank.

Note: This must be an R01 or equivalent (e.g, DP2, MIRA)

Have you previously applied to and/or received funding via NIH as a Principal Investigator?*

Either single or multiple PI; not including NRSA fellowships (F31 or F32).

Do you intend to prepare your first A1 resubmission through NIH Academy?
Which of the following best characterizes your outreach and engagement of a science mentor?*

I agree to fully participate in the program: to attend all sessions, complete homework, and submit an NIH grant application at the end of the Academy.
