Wondering about the difference between an NIH Highlighted Topic and an Institute or Center's general interest area? We break it down for you here ➡️ bit.ly/4fJigvb
👁 This image is an infographic titled "NIH General Interest Areas vs. Highlighted Topics: What's the Difference?" It contrasts "General Interest Area" and "Highlighted Topic" across several criteria. "General Interest Area" is described as representing the full breadth of an ICO's mission, offering a broad, enduring description of research, providing general insights, being high-level and stable over time. "Highlighted Topic" targets a subset of research interests, is time-sensitive, linked with emerging areas, more specific, and can change based on evolving needs. The NIH logo is at the bottom.
