Description of the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts

The NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts serves, in lieu of the Federal Register, in compliance with the Administrative Procedures Act, as the official publication of NIH policies, procedures, and availability of funds. Occasionally, unofficial notices of interest to the scientific research community are published. The NIH considers applications for the support of basic or clinical biomedical, behavioral, and bioengineering research. New extramural grant programs and priorities are implemented by publication of one of the following:

Program Announcement (PA): announces increased priority and/or emphasizes particular funding mechanisms for a specific area of science; applications accepted on standard receipt dates on an on-going basis. (A PAR is a PA for which special referral guidelines apply, as described in the PAR. A PAS is a PA that includes specific set-aside funds, as described in the PAS.)
Request for Applications (RFA): identifies a more narrowly defined area for which one or more NIH institutes have set aside funds for awarding grants; one receipt date, specified in RFA.
Request for Proposals (RFP): solicits proposals for a contract; one receipt date, specified in RFP.

NIH Priority scores and percentile rank

   Numerical rating range        Descriptor
      (Priority score)
       100-150                  Outstanding
       150-200                  Excellent
       200-250                  Very Good
       250-350                  Good
       350-500                  Acceptable
 Percentile Rank - priority scores are calculated into a
                   percentile ranking within the overall
                   scoring pattern (last 3 meetings) of
                   the Study Section.  If you ranked in
                   the 10th percentile, your grant
                   application ranks better than 90% of
                   the applications scored in the last 3
                   meetings of the relevant Study Section.
