Emerging Funding Opportunities for COVID-19 Research

The National Institutes of Health frequently is announcing new funding mechanisms to support COVID-19-related research activities that CHOP principal investigators and faculty may be interested in pursuing.

NIH’s deputy director for extramural research summarized in a new blog post how the NIH is working to get funding as quickly as possible to researchers who are already working with other organisms, models, or tools so that they can quickly shift focus to the novel coronavirus. Please read the “COVID-19 Funding and Funding Opportunities” post to learn how these types of funding opportunities work.
