Up for a “Grand Challenge”? The Gates Foundation Has a Few for You
We highlight three grant opportunities from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation that focus on health science topics also of interest to NIAID.
NIAID seeks innovative research on innate and adaptive immune responses induced by mycobacterial infection, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine, or other Mycobacterium tuberculosisvaccinations.
NIAID invites principal investigators to request additional funds to hire a mid-to-senior level technician at a full-time or part-time level of effort to help maintain an eligible postdoctoral scientist’s projects when he or she is required to be away from the lab to fulfill caregiver obligations.

Advice Corner
Two New Sample Applications Demonstrate Rigor and Reproducibility
We recently added two new R01 applications and summary statements. Since these sample applications were submitted using FORMS-D, they fulfill the rigor and reproducibility requirements NIH introduced in 2016.
Reader Questions
- “For a resubmission, can I reuse letters of support from the initial application or am I required to obtain updated letters of support?”
- “What dictates whether AIDS dates apply to an application? For example, would a fellowship application with an AIDS-related project qualify?”
