Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Announcement of the Anticipated Availability of Funds for Research on Research Integrity" (Funding Opportunity Number IR ORI 14 001), is a discretionary grant program in the health funding category administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. It is designed to support research projects that deepen understanding of research integrity, especially in areas that have not received enough attention. The central aim is to generate evidence and insights about why research practices sometimes deviate from accepted standards of integrity and, just as importantly, what conditions and strategies help promote integrity in research environments.
The program is looking for strong, research-driven proposals that do more than describe the problem. Competitive applications are expected to critically evaluate existing paradigms, test innovative hypotheses, or tackle major barriers that limit what is currently known about research integrity. The announcement emphasizes the importance of studying integrity as a multi-level issue. Applicants are encouraged to examine societal influences (such as broader norms, incentives, and pressures), organizational factors (like institutional culture, policies, oversight structures, and leadership priorities), group dynamics (including lab climate, mentorship quality, authorship practices, collaboration norms, and peer expectations), and individual-level factors (such as training, decision-making, career stage pressures, and ethical reasoning). Proposals can address factors that increase risk for misconduct or questionable practices, as well as protective factors that strengthen responsible conduct and ethical research behavior.
Financially, the opportunity anticipates making about four awards, with an estimated total funding level of $600,000. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $150,000, and there is no stated minimum award amount (floor listed as $0). Cost sharing or matching is not required, which means applicants are not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is broad and includes many common types of applicant organizations. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (with the limitation that some categories exclude institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, state and local governmental entities (including city/township, county, special district governments, and independent school districts), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) as well as Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments. The listing also notes "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," signaling that the full announcement should be consulted for any extra conditions or nuances.
In terms of timing, the announcement was posted on December 2, 2013, and the application closing date is April 14, 2014 (with both the original and current closing date listed as the same). The archive date is May 14, 2014. The opportunity also requests non-binding letters of intent, due February 14, 2014 by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, which gives the agency an early sense of what kinds of projects may be submitted without committing the applicant to a full proposal.
For administrative support, applicants who have trouble accessing the full announcement electronically are directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center, which provides 24/7 assistance (except federal holidays) at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov. The official listing points to an additional information link for the full announcement, which would contain the detailed application requirements, formatting rules, submission instructions, and any specific review criteria used to evaluate proposals.
