Term	Conceptual Definition
Tethered Application/Grants	When applications are submitted collaboratively the applications are associated and reviewed as a single project. If selected for funding, each application will receive a separate award to fund the collaborative project. The awards may be linked together through special terms and conditions. Note this term may also apply when a single consolidated application is submitted involving multiple components that ultimately receive separate, but linked awards.
Total Project Costs	The total allowable costs (both direct costs and facilities and administrative costs) incurred by the grantee to carry out a grant-supported project or activity. Total project costs include costs charged to the NIH grant and costs borne by the grantee to satisfy a matching or cost-sharing requirement.
Trainee, Short-Term	Calculated number of short-term trainees equivalent to full-time positions. A short-term appointment is assumed to be 3 months. Thus the FTTP is the number of short-term trainees divided by 4.
Trainees, Postdoctoral FTTPs	Number of postdoctoral Full-Time Trainee Positions.
Trainees, Predoctoral FTTPs	Number of predoctoral Full-Time Trainee Positions.
Trainees, Short-term FTTPs	Calculated number of short-term trainees equivalent to full-time positions. A short-term appointment is assumed to be 3 months. Thus the FTTP is the number of short-term trainees divided by 4.
Trainees, Total FTTPs	Total of predoctoral, postdoctoral, and short-term FTTPs.
Training Expenses	Amount of funds available for training courses specifically for the trainees.
Training Grant, Individual	Fellowship (F) grants.
Training Grant, Institutional	Training (T) grants.
Translational Research	Translational research includes two areas of translation. One is the process of applying discoveries generated during research in the laboratory, and in preclinical studies, to the development of trials and studies in humans. The second area of translation concerns research aimed at enhancing the adoption of best practices in the community. Cost-effectiveness of prevention and treatment strategies is also an important part of translational science.
Travel	Dollars awarded for trainee travel.
Tuition	The amount of tuition and fees awarded to the trainee.
Type	See Application Types.
Type 1 Diabetes Initiative	Funding provided by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 for research on the prevention and cure of type 1 diabetes. These funds are administered by the NIDDK through the authority provided to it by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Type, Application/Award/Grant	Type l New Type 2 Competing continuation (a.k.a. renewal, re-competing) Type 3 Application for additional (supplemental) support Type 4 Competing extension for an R37 award or first non competing year of a Fast Track SBIR/STTR award Type 5 Non-competing continuation Type 7 Change of grantee institution Type 9 Change of NIH awarding Institute or Division (competing continuation)
