There are numerous sources available to researchers and staff to access and review sample grant proposals. The medRAMP Office has created a Grants Library Repository (GLR) that provides successful samples from UW investigators. Access to sample applications is restricted to UW-Madison faculty, investigators, and designated staff. In addition, several federal and non-federal agencies and organizations include links to example proposals on their websites. Listed and described below is information about the UW medRAMP Grants Library Repository (GLR) and an application form for access. Following that are links to additional sample proposal through the NIH, NSF, and more. Enjoy!

National Institutes of Health Sample Proposals
The links below provide sample proposals through several NIH agencies that are available to the public. Most sample applications are from Forms D and before, therefore they may not reflect the NIH’s latest forms and policies. Please be sure to access the latest application forms for all grants at the NIH when applying for a grant, which can be found here: NIH Application Guides
