Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research - Training Institutional (TI)

The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) within the National Institutes of Health funds institutional training grants under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.AR4), with no current open grant opportunities identified as of the date of this summary.

The program supports training of basic and clinical scientists through investigator-initiated applications and solicited applications in response to published Requests for Applications (RFAs) or Program Announcements (PAs). NIAMS accepts both research grants and contracts addressing the causes, treatment, and prevention of arthritis and musculoskeletal and skin diseases at institutions throughout the United States and internationally.

Applications undergo a two-stage peer review process: initial scientific and technical merit review by panels convened through the NIH Center for Scientific Review, followed by second-level review by the NIAMS National Advisory Council, which evaluates scientific quality, mission relevance, portfolio balance, and public health priorities. The NIAMS Institute Director holds final funding authority based on peer review results, Council recommendations, program priorities, and available appropriations. Following selection for funding, applicants must complete Just-in-Time requirements including verification of human subjects protections, animal use compliance, and other regulatory assurances before the Grants Management Officer issues a Notice of Award.

Recipients must retain financial and programmatic records, supporting documentation, statistical records, and other grant-pertinent materials for three years from the date the annual Financial Status Report is submitted to NIH, with extended retention required if litigation, claims, financial management reviews, or audits are underway. The HHS Inspector General, U.S. Comptroller General, and authorized representatives retain unrestricted right of access to recipient records pertaining to awards for audit and examination purposes.
