What it does

The forecast lists Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized) among eligible applicants, alongside other eligible applicant types, and states no (money reserved for a specific group). The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) leads the opportunity with other NIH institutes, and it funds research that improves or evaluates research rigor, replication, and generalizability. The forecast gives an estimated posting date of 2027-04-23 and an estimated application due date of 2027-05-25.

Why it matters for tribal funding

Tribes eligible. Tribes or Native organizations are among those who can apply or are covered, alongside others.

Who it covers: Tribal governments.

What to do next

  1. Watch for the NIH notice PAR-28-061 on or after the estimated posting date of 2027-04-23, and confirm the final eligibility language.
  2. Use the lead time before posting to build research collaborations, since the notice is meant to let applicants develop collaborations and responsive projects.
