How to Request NINR in Grant Applications

Grant applicants who would like to request that their application is sent to NINR, should take the following steps:

  • First and foremost, talk with your program officer early and often. Program officers can advocate for your application to be assigned to NINR.
  • Additionally, applicants can complete the PHS assignment request form to communicate specific application assignment and review requests to the Division of Receipt and Referral and to scientific review officers. NIH staff will consider all assignment preferences, although in some cases, the awarding component is pre-determined and assignment preferences cannot be accommodated.
