Their well-written application approaches may give you ideas for how you could effectively present your Specific Aims, Research Strategy, and other text sections.
Be aware that these applications reflect the older Forms-E version of the SF 424 and instructions. Do not use them as a model for how to complete forms. For example, they will not reflect the Forms-G Significant Changes or current rules for Other Support and Biosketch Format. Your application must follow the appropriate instructions in your notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) and the latest NIH SF 424 Application Guide.
G11 Funding Opportunity
Through the NOFO Global Infectious Disease Research Administration Development Award for Low- and Middle-Income Country (LMIC) Institutions (G11, Clinical Trial Not Allowed), NIAID continues to support the training of senior administrators in LMICs and empower them to serve as institutional grants management leaders.
You can also check the NOFO Questions and Answers and Webinar. Although both resources refer to the 2018 version of the NOFO, the information is still relevant for the current one.
