Questions about this grant

When is the application deadline?
July 17, 2027.
Who can apply for this grant?
Organizations that already hold a qualifying NIH grant and want to transfer it to a successor organization: small businesses, for-profits, nonprofits, universities, state, local, and tribal governments, and certain foreign entities. The current grant holder must route the request through NIH's grants management process.
Can a sole proprietor or single-member LLC apply?
The facts do not say. The notice lists small businesses and for-profit organizations as eligible, but it does not specify how sole proprietors or single-member LLCs are treated, and the transfer only applies to an existing NIH award held by the current recipient.
Can a nonprofit apply?
Yes. Nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status are listed as eligible, but only as a successor to an existing NIH grant, not for new funding.

Not a new grant: NIH recipient organizations holding certain NIH grants may request transfer of an existing award to a successor organization (change of recipient status).
