Opportunity Summary:
Advancing Palliative Care Research for Children Facing Life Limiting Conditions (R01) (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-NR-10-006) is a National Institutes of Health funding opportunity issued through the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) to support rigorous research projects that strengthen pediatric palliative and end-of-life care. The central aim is to fund biobehavioral research focused on reducing suffering and improving quality of life for children who are living with life-limiting conditions, including infants and neonates, as well as improving outcomes for their parents and families. The announcement also explicitly welcomes work addressing the after-effects and long-term consequences that follow accidents, and it includes support for studies that help children cope with the loss, or anticipated loss, of a parent or other significant person.
The FOA is built around practical, clinically meaningful intervention development and testing. Applicants are encouraged to propose clear study designs and methods that can identify, refine, and evaluate approaches that relieve symptoms, ease distress, and support family functioning across serious illness trajectories and at the end of life. While the topic space is broad, the emphasis is on interventions and biobehavioral approaches that can be moved into real-world pediatric palliative care settings without excessive delay. To that end, NINR encourages investigators to build cross-disciplinary teams, reflecting the reality that high-quality pediatric palliative care typically spans multiple professions and domains (for example, clinical care, nursing science, behavioral health, communication, family systems, and symptom science).
This opportunity uses the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism, which is generally intended for well-developed, hypothesis-driven or otherwise strongly justified research projects with a defined scope and plan. The FOA notes that it runs in parallel with a companion announcement of the same scientific scope using the R21 mechanism (RFA-NR-10-007), signaling that NIH was interested in both larger, more definitive R01 studies and shorter or more exploratory projects through R21. For this R01-specific announcement, NIH committed an estimated total of $1.25 million in funding for fiscal year 2010 and expected to make approximately 2 to 3 awards, indicating a competitive program with limited award slots.
Eligibility is broad and includes many organization types across the public, private, nonprofit, and governmental landscape. Eligible applicants listed include public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and a range of government entities (state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and certain housing authorities). The FOA also recognizes a wide array of additional eligible entities such as faith-based and community-based organizations, federally recognized and other tribal governments and tribal organizations, tribally controlled colleges and universities, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. The announcement specifies that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can reduce barriers for applicants who might otherwise need to bring non-federal funds to the table.
Key dates reflect that this was a time-limited competition. The opportunity was posted and created on February 25, 2010, with an application due date (original and current closing date) of May 17, 2010, and an archive date of June 17, 2010. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance listing included is 93.361 (Nursing Research), aligning the program squarely with NINR's mission. For full details and the official announcement language, the FOA points applicants to the NIH Grants Guide page at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-NR-10-006.html, and it provides NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster contact information for technical access or linking issues.
