Editorial Guidelines

Our goal is to publish accurate, actionable guidance for researchers seeking NIH funding.

Sourcing Standards

  • Primary data from NIH RePORTER/ExPORTER and FOA notices.
  • Every article includes outbound links to official NIH resources when citing numbers or policies.
  • We time-stamp “Last updated” on each guide and note data coverage years.

Review Process

  • Drafted by researchers or analysts with NIH funding experience.
  • Reviewed through published desks covering data methodology, funding strategy, and career navigation.
  • Reviewed for accuracy, clarity, and conflicts of interest before publication.
  • Corrections are logged with date stamps; we welcome reader submissions via Contact.
  • Tool pages are reviewed for clarity so data outputs include context, caveats, and practical interpretation.

What We Avoid

  • Undisclosed sponsored placements or affiliate ranking bias.
  • Unverified statistics without a linked source.
  • Automatically generated content without expert review.
  • Answering official eligibility or policy questions as though this site were NIH.
  • Misleading claims that suggest NIH affiliation or official endorsement.
