There are opportunities for research in EM at the NIH, which may be appropriate for a variety of Institutes, depending on the topic area. Most NIH-funded research is through investigator-initiated grant applications, and the PHS 398 application packet is a source of more information. RFAs and RFPs, which have set-aside funding, are released for specific topic areas when an Institute identifies an area requiring multiple studies or multicenter research. PAs, which do not have set-aside funding, announce areas of interest for an Institute. The NIH Guide to Grants and Contracts announces RFAs, RFPs, and PAs. It is important to become expert in a field of research to be successful in achieving research funding, whether investigator- or institute-initiated.
美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）有开展电磁学（EM）研究的机会，根据主题领域的不同，这些机会可能适用于多个研究所。大多数由NIH资助的研究是通过研究人员发起的资助申请进行的，PHS 398申请包可提供更多信息。当一个研究所确定某个领域需要多项研究或多中心研究时，会针对特定主题领域发布有预留资金的研究资助公告（RFA）和研究项目公告（RFP）。无预留资金的项目公告（PA）则公布某个研究所感兴趣的领域。《NIH资助与合同指南》会公布RFA、RFP和PA。无论是由研究人员还是研究所发起的研究，要成功获得研究资金，成为某个研究领域的专家都很重要。
