Opportunity Summary:
The Aging Research Dissertation Awards to Increase Diversity (R36) was a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity administered by the National Institute on Aging (NIA). Its central purpose was to support dissertation research that aligns with NIA strategic priorities in aging and aging-related health conditions, while also helping broaden participation and increase diversity within the scientific research workforce focused on aging. In practical terms, this mechanism was aimed at doctoral candidates whose dissertation projects could contribute to the aging research field and who, through this support, could be better positioned to continue into research careers that strengthen the diversity of the pipeline in this area.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary grant using the NIH R36 activity code and fell under the health funding activity category. The associated CFDA number was 93.866 (Aging Research). The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which generally means applicants were not expected to secure institutional or third-party financial contributions as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was centered on higher education institutions and certain designated institution types. Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, along with several categories of institutions that commonly serve underrepresented groups, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). Foreign institutions were explicitly not eligible, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were also not allowed. In addition, foreign components (as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement) were not permitted under this announcement, reinforcing that the funded work and organizational involvement needed to remain domestic under NIH rules for this program.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding opportunity number was PAR-13-152, and it was posted on March 22, 2013. The original and current closing date listed was May 7, 2016, and the announcement was archived on June 7, 2016, indicating it is no longer an active solicitation in that specific form. Applicants or interested parties were directed to the full announcement on the NIH grants website for complete requirements and instructions, and technical access or linking problems were handled through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact listed in the notice.
