Current OBSSR Funding Opportunities

Below is a list of current funding opportunity announcements in which The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) is involved. Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of all funding announcements related to behavioral and social sciences research, but rather only those in which OBSSR is involved. Although OBSSR does not have grant-making authority, it has been active in organizing and funding (through transfers to NIH Institutes and Centers) a variety of trans-NIH research programs.

For information on other behavioral and social sciences funding announcements, please consult the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Additionally, OBSSR provides an e-mail service for announcing NIH funding opportunities in the behavioral and social sciences. Once or twice a month, OBSSR distributes via e-mail a listing (with hyperlinks) of recent funding announcements (Program Announcements, Requests for Applications, Notices) published in the NIH Guide to Grants and Contracts. To receive these periodic (about every four to six weeks) announcements, please join the special listserv.

Applicants who wish to submit “investigator-initiated” or “unsolicited” applications can do so by applying under a Parent Announcement. Information on Parent Announcements can be found at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/parent_announcements.htm.

Comprehensive information about the grant application process is available on the Office of Extramural Research Web site..
