U.S. National Institutes of Health
National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the largest public funder of biomedical research in the world, investing more than $32 billion a year to enhance life, and reduce illness and disability. NIH is made up of 27 Institutes and Centres, each with a specific research agenda, often focusing on particular diseases or body systems.
Western University manages over $2.5M a year in U.S. federal research funding. Investigators who pursue NIH funding and/or hold U.S. Federal grants or contracts are supported by centralized pre- and post-award administrative teams in Western Research. These teams provide NIH-specific guidance and ensure that the governance structures, policies, and procedures required by U.S. Federal sponsors are met or exceeded.
