NIH Research Grants (R01/R21)

The world's largest public biomedical funder: R01 project grants (typically USD 250k–500k/year, ≈ €225k–€450k, for 3–5 years) and R21 exploratory grants. NOTE: unlike SBIR, several NIH grant types are open to foreign (non-US) institutions and companies when the science justifies it — check the specific funding opportunity's eligibility section.

1. Describe the idea. Company name and a few sentences about the project — registration number and sector are fetched from the registry.
2. Check your chances. Granteon assesses the project against the criteria in NIH Research Grants (R01/R21) and tells you honestly whether it can be won — before you write.
3. Write the application. The AI writes from your own facts, scores the draft like an award committee, and delivers it field by field within the portal's character limits.
4. Complete the financing. Your own contribution is calculated. You can obtain a signed conditional commitment from an investor, and find consortium partners when the call requires them.
5. Deliver and report. Reporting plan, draft reports and budget tracking after the award — until the final report is filed.
