How the Nih Can Help You Get Funded takes a novel, non-formulaic approach in teaching readers how to "write a grant" -- and much more. The authors draw on their decades of experience working with both investigators and Nih personnel to anticipate their questions and concerns and help establish a comfortable, productive partnership between them.
With this book's focus on applying this knowledge to their personal grant strategy, readers will learn:
· how the Nih operates at the corporate level, as well as the culture and policies of individual institutes and centers
· how the Nih budget evolves over the course of a fiscal year and why the timing is important
· how to customize Nih Web site searches and use the data to increase chances of success
· how to identify appropriate program officers, study sections, and funding opportunities
The authors advise readers on developing each component of the grant application in order of the components' influence on the final impact score. Individual funding mechanisms are reviewed along with grantsmanship tips specific to each. Readers learn the importance of reviewer-friendly formatting and organization of the text.
The final chapters cover next steps after the application has been submitted-before, during, and after the review and funding decision. Strategies for resubmitting or repurposing applications are provided for those readers whose applications do not receive awards. The authors likewise anticipate the needs of readers who do receive funding but have questions on managing and maintaining their award.
Amid ever-increasing competition for government research grants, How the Nih Can Help You Get Funded is an invaluable manual for how to pursue -- and sustain -- Nih funding.

I have submitted scores of grant proposals to the NIH since 1990, and reviewed hundreds of them. This book, by Kienholz & Berg (K&B), should be mandatory reading for anybody submitting their first grant proposal, but will still be highly useful to seasoned investigators. K&B's primary message is to talk to NIH staff from the beginning to the end of the process, but the value of the book is in the strategic advice about whom to talk to and when, suggested topics of conversation and questions, and guidance on developing positive relationships with NIH staff. K&B also describe the elements of a successful grant proposal, emphasizing that one is writing for the reviewers, not themselves and not their colleagues who already have significant insight into one's line of research. For instance, they recommend writing the Primary Objectives at the outset, and then using those objectives to frame the Approach, rather than treating the Primary Objectives as an afterthought. I have read so many applications where the applicants were so enamored of what they were going to do that they neglected to convincingly describe what they were going toBy daniel p normolle
accomplish. Their proposals would have been so much more successful had they started with their objectives. K&B describe in detail how to sculpt a proposal so that the reviewer's (positive) critique writes itself, what is absolutely necessary in any proposal and what should absolutely be left out. K&B also spend several chapters explaining how paylines are set, when they are set and how this information can be used to the applicant's advantage.
The book is written from scratch in an informal but precise style; what it definitely is not is text cribbed directly from NIH web pages. You should buy the paper copy, because you will want to insert multiple page markers and highlight many passages.
Then, recommend it to your colleagues (especially the ESIs).
I am a NIH-funded new investigator and I really wish I had had this book before I applied for my first grant from the NIH. It is incredibly useful and gives very appropriate insight in the functioning of the NIH which you cannot really get anywhere else unless you have extensively submitted grants. I had the Kindle edition and I greatly recommend it because there are tons of useful links in it. I will definitely reread it when planning new applications.By Chiara
