Questions about this grant

When is the application deadline?
May 7, 2027.
Who can apply for this grant?
Mid-career health-professional doctorates at universities, hospitals, or research institutions, applying through eligible organizations such as higher-education institutions, nonprofits, governments, tribal entities, and small businesses. Awards go to individual investigators, not to companies as such.
Can a sole proprietor or single-member LLC apply?
The facts do not say. Small businesses are listed as eligible applicants, but the award is aimed at individual mid-career investigators, so a sole proprietorship is unlikely to be the intended vehicle.
Can a nonprofit apply?
Yes. Nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education, are listed as eligible applicants, and institutions of higher education may apply as well.
