SUMMARY There are opportunities for research in EM at the NIH, which may be appropriate for a variety of Institutes, depending on the topic area. Most NIH‐funded research is through investigator‐initiated grant applications, and the PHS 398 application packet is a source of more information. RFAs and RFPs, which have set‐aside funding, are released for specific topic areas when an Institute identifies an area requiring multiple studies or multicenter research. PAs, which do not have set‐aside funding, announce areas of interest for an Institute. The NIH Guide to Grants and Contracts announces RFAs, RFPs, and PAs. It is important to become expert in a field of research to be successful in achieving research funding, whether investigator‐ or institute‐initiated.
