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 grant program focuses on the archiving and documentation of existing data sets that align with the scientific mission of the NICHD, to promote secondary analysis of these data by the scientific community. The key goal is to prioritize the archiving of original data collected with NICHD funding. This initiative aims to foster meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. Applicants are given advance notice to prepare for the forthcoming Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), which is centered around enabling secondary data analysis to further scientific research and knowledge.
