US Funding Agencies
Grants.gov is the starting point for your search as well as for applications for research financing from US funding agencies – for European researchers too.
NIH (National Institutes of Health) proposals may also be submitted via Grants.gov, but ideally the NIH specific platform ASSIST is used.
Additionally, applicants need a user account on the NIH platform eRA Commons to be able to apply to NIH grants. Please contact us, should you require an eRA Commons user account.
Tips for the University of Basel
Uni Basel has completed all necessary US registration processes: DUNS, SAM [ex CCR], NCAGE, Grants.gov, NIH eRA Commons, etc.
- Please ensure that you register your US proposal in the GrantsTool and inform the Grants Office at least six weeks before the submission deadline, as US proposals are subject to a special process.
- To set up NIH accounts for project managers, which are required only upon electronic submission of your application (as AOR, PI), please contact the Uni Basel Grants Office in good time. You also require an NIH account to search specific databases (dbGaP, etc.).
