Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Archiving and Documenting Child Health and Human Development Data Sets (R03)" (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-16-149) is a discretionary NIH grant program run under HHS/NIH (listed as HHS-NIH11) that supports small, focused projects aimed at preserving and preparing existing research data sets for broader use. Its central goal is not to fund new data collection, but to pay for the work required to archive and properly document data that already exist so that other researchers can reliably find, understand, and reuse those data for secondary analyses. In practical terms, the program is designed to strengthen the scientific value of prior studies by making their underlying data more accessible, interpretable, and usable by the wider research community.
A key priority of the program is alignment with the scientific mission of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). Data sets that fall within NICHD mission areas, such as child health, human development, reproductive health, maternal health, pediatric outcomes, and related domains, are within scope. The highest priority is given to data sets that were originally collected with NICHD support, reflecting NIH's broader emphasis on stewardship of federally funded research outputs and maximizing the return on public investment. The overarching idea is that well-curated, well-documented data can continue producing discoveries long after the original project ends, especially when they are archived in ways that allow other scientists to validate findings, combine data across studies, or explore new hypotheses.
This FOA uses the NIH R03 mechanism, which is intended for small research projects and limited-scope activities. The listed award ceiling is $50,000, signaling that applications should be tightly focused on concrete archiving and documentation tasks rather than expansive infrastructure efforts. While the posting does not specify the number of expected awards, the presence of a defined cap indicates a modest budget structure consistent with the R03 program's purpose: targeted support for discrete, well-defined deliverables that can be completed efficiently.
Eligible applicants are broad and include many types of organizations that might hold valuable child health and human development data. Public entities such as state, county, city, township, and special district governments are eligible, as are independent school districts. Institutions of higher education are eligible in both public/state-controlled and private categories. Tribal entities are also included, covering federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations. The eligibility list extends to public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (so long as they are not institutions of higher education in that category), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. The breadth of eligible applicants reflects how relevant data sets can be generated and maintained across many sectors, including universities, health systems, government programs, and community or service organizations.
Administratively, the opportunity falls under the Health, Income Security and Social Services funding activity category and is associated with CFDA numbers 93.865 (commonly tied to NICHD-related funding) and 93.000. The opportunity was created and posted on March 23, 2016, and the listed closing date for applications was May 7, 2019. Even though those dates indicate the specific listing is historical, the summary of goals and priorities remains useful for understanding what NIH meant to fund through this announcement: the practical work of making existing NICHD-relevant data sets responsibly archived and sufficiently documented for reuse.
In summary, this grant opportunity is best understood as support for data stewardship: cleaning, organizing, describing, and depositing existing child health and human development data in appropriate archives so that the scientific community can conduct secondary analyses. The program emphasizes mission relevance to NICHD and gives top priority to data originally collected with NICHD funding, with small, capped awards intended to produce clear archiving and documentation deliverables that improve transparency, accessibility, and long-term scientific impact.
