Supporting Fairness and Originality in NIH Research Applications

To combat the increasing number of grant applications generated by AI, NIH is implementing the following procedures (summarized below with link to full notice)

  • “NIH will not consider applications that are either substantially developed by AI, or contain sections substantially developed by AI, to be original ideas of applicants.”
  • “NIH will only accept six new, renewal, resubmission, or revision applications from an individual Principal Investigator/Program Director or Multiple Principal Investigator for all council rounds in a calendar year.”
