Opportunity Summary:
The Calcium Oxalate Stone Diseases (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA-09-213) is a discretionary National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding announcement designed to stimulate more research focused on oxalate biology and calcium oxalate stone disease. The central aim is to increase investigator attention to how oxalate is produced, metabolized, transported, and kept in balance in the body (oxalate metabolism, transport, and homeostasis), and how disruptions in these processes contribute to oxalate-related stone disorders. The announcement is broad in scope and invites projects that can move the field forward by improving how these conditions are understood, diagnosed, treated, and prevented.
The FOA explicitly encourages a wide range of study types, including basic science, clinical research, and epidemiological work. In practical terms, that means applications could span from laboratory studies that uncover molecular or cellular mechanisms of oxalate handling, to patient-oriented research that evaluates diagnostic strategies or therapies, to population-level studies that clarify risk factors, disease patterns, or outcomes. A key theme is the use of new and innovative approaches, signaling that NIH is looking for modern, creative methods or emerging technologies that can provide clearer answers than traditional approaches alone.
Funding is provided through the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism, which is NIH's standard mechanism for investigator-initiated research projects. R01 grants typically support a defined research plan led by a principal investigator and can cover a broad set of research costs consistent with NIH policy. The announcement notes that awards will depend on the availability of funds and on receiving a sufficient number of high-quality (meritorious) applications, meaning there is no guaranteed number of awards and applicants should expect a competitive peer-review process.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research), aligning it with NIH's research portfolio relevant to kidney stone disease and related metabolic conditions. It does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which lowers the barrier for many applicants.
Eligibility is expansive and includes many types of domestic and non-domestic organizations. Eligible applicants listed include universities and colleges (public and private), nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) organizations), for-profit entities (including small businesses and other for-profits), and a wide range of government entities (state, county, city/township, special district governments, and independent school districts). The FOA also highlights eligibility for tribal governments and organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and additional categories such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and foreign (non-U.S.) organizations.
Key dates in the source data show the opportunity was posted July 6, 2009, with later administrative record dates indicating an original closing date of September 7, 2012, a current closing date of January 7, 2013, and an archive date of February 7, 2013. The full announcement is available through the NIH grants guide at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-09-213.html.
