About NIH Grant Explorer
We help researchers quickly find NIH funding, understand institute priorities, and connect with principal investigators who recently received grants.
Our Mission
Make NIH funding data usable for trainees, postdocs, and faculty.
Show real, current grants so you can target the right labs and institutes.
Publish practical guides reviewed by subject-matter contributors with grant-writing experience.
Remain transparent that NIH Grant Explorer is an independent site and not an official NIH property.

Our Team
NIH Grant Explorer is maintained by researchers and data analysts with experience in NIH grant applications, funding analytics, and postdoc mentoring. We collaborate with contributors who have served on study sections or supported K/R mechanisms.
We publish role-based review desks on our Contributors page so readers can see how data, funding-strategy, and career-navigation content is reviewed without relying on vague trust language.
We do not claim endorsement by NIH or any federal agency. When a topic requires an official policy answer, we link readers to the underlying NIH guidance.
