Opportunity Summary:
The Academic Community Partnership Conference Series (R13) was a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant opportunity (FOA number PAR-15-032; CFDA 93.865, Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) designed to fund health disparities-focused meetings such as conferences, workshops, and symposia. Rather than supporting a traditional research project directly, this mechanism supported convenings that help communities and academic partners jointly shape future Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) efforts. The central idea was to create structured spaces where community organizations and academic institutions could work together to identify practical, community-driven ways to reduce health disparities, and then translate those priorities into longer-term collaborative research plans.
The funded meetings were expected to achieve three main objectives. First, they needed to establish new academic-community partnerships or strengthen partnerships that already existed, with an emphasis on equitable collaboration and shared decision-making consistent with CBPR principles. Second, the meetings needed to identify research priorities that are driven by community needs, meaning the agenda should reflect what community stakeholders see as the most urgent issues and the most realistic opportunities for change. Third, the meetings were expected to produce or advance long-term collaborative CBPR research agendas, effectively laying the groundwork for future research proposals. NIH signaled that a key outcome of these conference activities should be subsequent grant applications for CBPR projects that address the needs identified through the partnership process.
The FOA highlighted a range of community health topics that partnerships could focus on, including preterm birth, infant mortality, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), maternal mortality, reproductive health, uterine fibroid tumors, obesity across the lifespan (childhood, adolescent, and adult), violence prevention, perinatal hepatitis B virus (HBV) prevention, HIV/AIDS prevention, asthma, intellectual and developmental disabilities, pediatric injury prevention, and medical rehabilitation. Applicants could focus on one or more of these areas, with the unifying requirement that the conference content and goals be framed around reducing health disparities through community-engaged approaches.
In terms of funding and administrative details, the opportunity was offered as a grant under the NIH Research Conference Grant (R13) framework, with an award ceiling of $30,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The FOA was posted on November 12, 2014, and had an original and final closing date of November 17, 2016, with an archive date of December 18, 2016, meaning it is no longer open for applications.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of U.S.-based organizations, reflecting the partnership-oriented nature of the program. Eligible applicants included private and public institutions of higher education, nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), state and local governments (including county, city/township, special district governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The FOA also listed specific eligible institution types and organizations such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), and faith-based or community-based organizations, among others. Foreign entities were not eligible to apply, and foreign components were not allowed; non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were also not eligible.
The sponsoring agency was NIH, and the official announcement was available through the NIH grants guide at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-15-032.html. For access or technical issues related to the announcement, the FOA directed applicants to contact the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
