Opportunity Summary:
The Bioengineering Research Grants (BRG) (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA-10-009) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program designed to fund basic and applied bioengineering research that tackles important biological, medical, or bioengineering problems. The core idea is to support multidisciplinary projects that use an integrative, systems-style approach to create new knowledge and/or develop methods that can help prevent, detect, diagnose, or treat disease, or improve understanding of health and behavior. The program is flexible in scientific style: proposals can be hypothesis-driven, discovery-driven, developmental, or design-directed, as long as the work is clearly aimed at meaningful bioengineering and biomedical research goals.
The grant uses the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism, which is the standard NIH mechanism for supporting mature, full research projects with well-developed aims and a solid plan for execution. The announcement also notes that this R01 program runs in parallel with a related funding opportunity for a similar scientific scope under the R21 mechanism (PA-10-010, Exploratory/Developmental Bioengineering Research Grants). In practical terms, that means applicants should consider whether their project fits best as a larger, more fully developed R01 effort (this FOA) or as an earlier-stage, exploratory or development-focused R21 effort (the companion FOA).
A key feature of the BRG program is its emphasis on multidisciplinary work that is still tightly coordinated. Rather than requiring large consortia, the BRGs are intended for research performed in a single lab or by a small number of investigators. That structure is meant to encourage close integration across disciplines (for example, engineering, computation, biology, and medicine) while keeping project management and scientific direction streamlined. The expectation is that applicants will combine methods and concepts across fields in a way that produces advances that would be difficult to achieve within a single traditional discipline.
Funding availability and the number of awards are not guaranteed and depend on NIH budget conditions as well as the volume of high-quality submissions. The announcement explicitly states that awards are contingent on available funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications, which is standard NIH language indicating that selection is competitive and dependent on both scientific review outcomes and institute-level funding decisions.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), state governments, federally recognized tribal governments, and tribal organizations. The opportunity also includes a variety of specialized eligible entities such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, U.S. territories or possessions, regional organizations, and certain non-U.S. (foreign) organizations. The listing indicates no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
Administrative details in the source data show the opportunity was posted on October 14, 2009, with later system dates reflecting record creation and archiving. The listed closing dates indicate an original closing date of January 7, 2013, and a current closing date of March 11, 2013, with an archive date of April 11, 2013. The program is associated with a wide range of CFDA numbers spanning environmental health, oral health, genomics, communication disorders, mental health, substance use, technology innovations for health, cancer, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, arthritis and musculoskeletal research, neuroscience, child health, aging, and vision research. That wide CFDA coverage signals that multiple NIH Institutes and Centers participate and that the bioengineering focus can align with many different disease areas and health-related topics, as long as the approach and aims fit the BRG purpose.
For applicants seeking the full official announcement and requirements, the funding notice points to the NIH Grants Guide page for PA-10-009 (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-10-009.html). It also provides NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact information for access or linking issues (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV), which is mainly for technical problems rather than scientific program questions.
