How to Get a Bite of NIH's Billion-Dollar Funding Pie

As per WIS management instruction, grant proposals must be submitted for evaluation by the RGP, with a budget approved by Finance, at least one week to 10 days prior to the funding agency’s deadline. Failure to do so may result in delayed or aborted activation of the award, as well as in an increased rate of Shiryun from the KAMAR.
