The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency — making important discoveries that improve health and save lives.
The Resource-Related Research Projects (R24) grant supports investigator-initiated resources to provide materials and services crucial for advancing biomedical research nationwide. It's designed for non-hypothesis-driven activities that deliver data, materials, tools, or services essential for timely, high-quality, and cost-efficient progress in a field. The grant emphasizes the availability of resources to all qualified investigators, maintaining high quality controls, and avoiding duplication of commercially or otherwise available resources. Specifically, it aims to serve the broad alcohol research community without regional limitations.
