Guidance on the
NHLBI Small Grants (R03) Program
National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute National Institutes of Health
The NHLBI Small Grants (R03)
Program is intended to provide limited support for
research projects both in terms of the length of
the award and its size. The R03 grant mechanism is
used to fund small, short-term research projects
that are designed to obtain data from preliminary,
proof-of-concept collaborative experiments.
Previously, these have included proposals to
develop research methodologies, pilot or
feasibility studies using novel data sets or
biospecimen repositories, and applications seeking
to satisfy a prerequisite to participate in an
Institute-funded consortium (e.g., by successfully
developing multidisciplinary proposals).
It is the policy of the NHLBI to
accept R03 applications only when such grants are
solicited by the Institute through a specific NHLBI
Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). The NHLBI
does not accept investigator-initiated R03
applications in response to the NIH’s Parent FOA
for R03 applications (PA-10-064). If unsolicited small grant support is needed for a research
project, it is recommended that individuals contact
the appropriate Institute staff to discuss other
options (please see General Contact Information
below).
Further information about a
specific R03 FOA can be obtained using the contact
information provided within the individual FOA. For
general information regarding the R03 program,
contact the appropriate scientific Division.
