The National Institutes of Health (NIH) consists of 27 Institutes and Centers (ICs), each with its own specific research agenda. These ICs focus on particular diseases or body systems. Almost all of them fund R01 grants, and research grant applications are assigned to an IC based on guidelines. Interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research is encouraged, often leading to applications being assigned to multiple ICs. Applicants are advised to identify an IC that aligns with their research area and contact relevant scientific staff for support. For detailed information about the mission of each NIH IC, you can visit the List of NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices website.
