program would be coordinated into one multi-disciplinary effort within

    (7) The reasonableness of the proposed budget in relation to the 

proposed program; and

    (8) Other factors which the awarding institute, center, or division 

considers appropriate in light of its particular statutory mission.

reviewed by appropriate national advisory councils or boards before 

awards are made. NIH grants may be awarded generally only after approval 

recommendations from both appropriate scientific peer review groups and 

national advisory councils or boards.
