- Eligibility
- PI must hold an MD, PhD or equivalent. The applicant institution must be U.S.-based and eligible to receive NIH funding — so a university, hospital or research nonprofit is the grantee, and nursing home organisations participate as partner sites rather than as the applicant. Nursing home research experience and scholarly productivity are assessed; the program offers partner-matching help for applicants without an existing site.
