NIH Program Officials (POs) are responsible for the programmatic, scientific, and technical aspects of NIH programs. Having a clear understanding of what POs can and can’t do for you will help you make the most of your interactions.
Program Officials (POs) in the NIH institutes/centers (ICs) serve as your scientific and programmatic contacts. Among their many responsibilities, POs develop research and research training initiatives, write funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) to solicit applications in support of those initiatives, manage a scientific portfolio, and monitor grant progress. Although they can answer many questions, it is important to understand what a PO can and can’t do for you.
