25, No. 42, December 6, 1996.
Small grants are short-term awards designed to answer specific and targeted research questions.
Both new and more experienced investigators are encouraged to apply for grants under this announcement. More experienced investigators must justify support under this mechanism as either representing new research directions for the investigator or develop and test new methodology. Foreign institutions are not eligible for NIMH Small Grants Program. Small grants are not renewable. The small grant program provides relatively limited financial support for research of high priority to the NIMH for which a time period of one to two years is appropriate.
