As a non-US organisation, Imperial’s eligibility to apply to funding notices can be limited. Interested researchers should also be aware that US Federal funds are subject to fast changing policies and administrative constraints.
Interested researchers should read the Pre and Post Award Golden Rules for US Federal funders to understand key regulations and requirements US Federal Golden Rules | Research | Imperial College London
Useful resources and information for foreign collaborators can be found on the dedicated NIH webpage: Information for Foreign Grants | grants.nih.gov
