NIH Contacts

An NIH U01 award involves substantial federal scientific and programmatic involvement. Substantial involvement means that NIH staff will assist, guide, coordinate, and participate in project activities. 

NIH staff will not dictate specific details of individual projects. For further guidance on when to contact the NIH, please review the Contacting Staff at the NIH Institutes and Centers page on the NIH website.

If you have a question about budget or progress reporting, talk to your NIH Program Officer. 

If you have a question about Hallmarks of Success or common measures, talk to your NIH Project Scientist.
