Non-domestic (non-U.S.) components of U.S. Organizations are not eligible to apply. Foreign components are allowed. NIH will no longer issue awards to domestic or foreign entities that involve foreign subawards/subcontracts. All NIH-funded research involving foreign subawards/subcontracts must be submitted in response to a NOFO specifically designated for funded international collaborations (effective May 1, 2025). Applications involving foreign subawards/subcontracts submitted in response to this NOFO will be deemed noncompliant and will not be considered for funding.

What comparable notices state

333 recordsStated ceilings on open records in the same industry.

Among open records stored under Health & Human Services, 333 of 928 state an award ceiling. Those that do run:

25th percentile$250,000
Median$500,000
75th percentile$1,200,000

A statistical estimate, not a prediction. It describes what a set of notices has published in this catalogue on the day you read it, and says nothing about what this programme will award. Records stating no ceiling are excluded rather than counted as zero, and the programme pool — what a funder has across every applicant — is a different column and is never mixed in.
