Opportunity Summary:
The CAM Practitioner Research Education Project Grant Partnership Competitive Renewal (R25) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 08 095) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program in the health area designed to extend and strengthen research education efforts in complementary and alternative medicine (now commonly framed as complementary and integrative health). This FOA is specifically a competitive renewal mechanism rather than an open competition for brand-new applicants. In practical terms, it targets organizations that already received an earlier CAM R25 award under the original announcement PAR 04 097 and gives them the chance to compete for continued support so they can keep running and refining the education projects they established under that initial funding.
The award uses the NIH Research Education grant mechanism (R25), which is meant to support structured educational activities that build research-related knowledge and skills, rather than to primarily fund a standalone research project. Under this renewal, eligible prior grantees can seek up to an additional four years of support to continue the same general education mission laid out in PAR 04 097. The focus is on sustaining and improving programs that help CAM practitioners and related trainees engage more effectively with research, such as strengthening research literacy, building competencies to participate in or collaborate on research, and enhancing the ability to understand, evaluate, and potentially conduct rigorous studies relevant to complementary and integrative health.
Eligibility is limited and clearly defined. Applicants must be organizations that were originally funded through the earlier CAM Practitioner Research Education Project Grant Partnership (PAR 04 097). The eligible organization types listed include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. Foreign institutions are explicitly not eligible to apply, indicating the program is intended to support U.S.-based organizational capacity and training infrastructure. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute a specified portion of the project costs as a condition of receiving the award.
Administratively, this is an NIH grant in the “Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health” area (CFDA 93.213). The FOA was posted February 29, 2008, and the competition window reflected a series of dates culminating in a current closing date of September 25, 2011 (with an archive date of October 25, 2011). While those dates indicate the opportunity is historical/archived now, they matter for understanding the lifecycle of the program: NIH periodically allows high-performing education projects to compete for renewal funding so that effective training pipelines and partnerships are not abruptly discontinued after an initial award period.
For applicants seeking the official requirements, application expectations, and any special submission instructions, NIH directed readers to the full FOA text hosted on the NIH grants website (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-08-095.html). For technical issues accessing the announcement, NIH provided the Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contacts, reflecting that the primary support channel for this posting was assistance with electronic access and linking rather than programmatic questions in the abbreviated summary.
