To what types of awards does the GWAS policy apply?
The GWAS policy applies to all NIH mechanisms of support for extramural research, with the exception of individual fellowships (F awards) or institutional training grants (T awards). The policy does apply to individual Career Development (K) awards, provided that the scope and aims of the project include the development of GWAS data. Comparable expectations are in place for all GWAS conducted by NIH intramural investigators.
