Opportunity Summary:
The Biomedical/Biobehavioral Research Administration Development (BRAD) Award (G11) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant opportunity designed to help institutions strengthen the behind-the-scenes systems that make high-quality biomedical and biobehavioral research possible. Issued through a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) by three NIH components, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the Fogarty International Center (FIC), and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the program focuses on building institutional capacity in research administration infrastructure. The central aim is not to fund a single research project, but to improve an institution's ability to support rigorous research and research-related training programs in a sustained, externally competitive way.
At its core, BRAD (G11) supports efforts to develop and professionalize the administrative structures that enable research programs to run effectively and comply with external requirements. This typically includes strengthening pre-award and post-award grants management, research compliance functions, financial oversight and reporting, policies and standard operating procedures, and the staffing and training needed to manage sponsored programs. By improving these institutional systems, the program is intended to position organizations to compete more successfully for external research funding and to manage awards responsibly once received, which in turn helps grow stable and credible biomedical and biobehavioral research and training portfolios.
This opportunity is a discretionary grant in the NIH health-related funding category and is identified by Funding Opportunity Number PAR-11-270. It was posted on July 21, 2011, with an original and final application closing date of July 31, 2013, and an archive date of August 31, 2013. The FOA indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute institutional funds as a condition of the award, although institutions may still choose to leverage other resources to strengthen the overall plan.
Eligibility is broad and includes both domestic and foreign institutions. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, along with several categories of institutions that NIH often targets for capacity building and expanded participation. These include Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and other applicants as specified in the FOA. Non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations) are eligible, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are also allowed, reflecting the involvement of the Fogarty International Center and the program's interest in strengthening research administration capacity in varied institutional settings.
The relevant CFDA numbers associated with this opportunity are 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) and 93.989 (International Research and Research Training). Administrative questions about accessing the full announcement were directed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contacts listed in the notice.
