Questions about this grant

When is the application deadline?
The application deadline is November 12, 2027.
Who can apply for this grant?
This NINDS K22 is specifically designed for NINDS intramural neurologist- and neurosurgeon-scientists transitioning to independent academic faculty positions. The listed eligible applicant types include small businesses, nonprofits, higher education institutions, governments, and for-profit organizations, but the program's purpose targets that specific group of clinician-scientists.
Can a sole proprietor or single-member LLC apply?
The facts do not say. Small businesses are listed as eligible applicants, but the program is aimed at NINDS intramural clinician-scientists, so a sole proprietor or single-member LLC outside that group should not expect to fit.
Can a nonprofit apply?
Yes. Nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education, are listed as eligible applicants, though the program itself targets NINDS intramural clinician-scientists.
