What this is
NIMHD is funding research that examines how family-level factors influence health outcomes and disparities, particularly in underrepresented populations. The initiative welcomes R01 applications with optional clinical trial components. Eligible applicants include universities, nonprofits, small businesses, tribal organizations, and government entities. This is a traditional investigator-initiated grant mechanism, not a startup funding vehicle, requiring established research capacity and institutional infrastructure.
Who can apply
Extremely broad eligibility: universities (public and private), nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, small businesses, tribal governments, state/county/city governments, and school districts all qualify. No geographic restrictions stated. Solo founders or very early-stage startups are technically eligible but would need institutional affiliation and research capacity to succeed.
Eligible applicant types

- Special district governments
- Public and State controlled institutions of higher education
- Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments)
- City or township governments
- Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized)
