Opportunity Summary:
The Centers of Excellence in Self Management Building Research Teams for the Future (P20) funding opportunity (RFA-NR-14-001) is a National Institutes of Health grant program under the Nursing Research CFDA (93.361) that supports the creation of Centers of Excellence focused on self-management research. The basic idea is to help institutions build stronger, more connected research programs by putting durable infrastructure in place rather than only funding isolated projects. The program is aimed at advancing interdisciplinary, biobehavioral work in self-management, especially in ways that strengthen nursing research capacity and connect investigators across complementary scientific areas.
The core purpose of the P20 Center mechanism in this announcement is threefold. First, it is meant to develop new, and potentially sustainable, interdisciplinary and biobehavioral research capacity by establishing centralized research resources and a research infrastructure that investigators can share. In practice, this typically means building the kinds of shared supports that make research programs efficient and scalable, such as coordinated administrative structures, common methods and measurement resources, shared participant recruitment supports, data management and analysis capabilities, and other centralized services that reduce duplication and raise overall quality. Second, the Center is expected to build and sharpen a clearly defined thematic science area in self-management by supporting complementary and synergistic activities. That emphasis on synergy matters: the Center is not simply a collection of unrelated studies, but a coordinated effort where investigators, cores, and developmental activities reinforce one another around a unifying theme. Third, the program is designed to spark feasibility or pilot research that can grow into future independent projects and new research teams, positioning investigators to compete for larger, stand-alone awards later. In other words, the P20 is intended as a team-building and capacity-building platform that matures a pipeline of investigators and research directions.
This opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding and uses the grant funding instrument. It was posted on January 9, 2014 (created January 10, 2014), with an original and current closing date of March 11, 2014, and it was archived on April 11, 2014. The estimated total funding listed for the opportunity was $2,100,000, with an award ceiling of $300,000. No cost sharing or matching was required, which lowers the barrier for applicants that may not have institutional funds available to meet a match requirement.
Eligibility was broad across public and private sectors in the United States, including state, county, city/township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts, as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and a range of nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities). The announcement also allowed applications from small businesses and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, along with public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. It explicitly included several institution types that often align with workforce development and capacity building priorities, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as eligible federal agencies, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and certain tribal governments and tribal organizations. At the same time, the opportunity made clear that non-U.S. entities were not eligible, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations were not eligible, and foreign components (as NIH defines them) were not allowed.
Administration and support were provided through NIH, and the full announcement was available through the NIH grants guide link included in the notice. For technical issues accessing or linking to the announcement, the listed point of contact was the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the "Centers of Excellence in Self Management Building Research Teams for the Future (P20)" opportunity?
It is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant program (RFA-NR-14-001) under the Nursing Research CFDA 93.361 that supports the creation of Centers of Excellence focused on self-management research. The emphasis is on building durable research infrastructure and connected research teams, not just funding isolated projects.
What is the main goal of this P20 Center mechanism?
The opportunity is designed to help institutions strengthen interdisciplinary, biobehavioral self-management research by creating shared infrastructure, building a clear thematic science focus with synergistic activities, and supporting feasibility or pilot work that can grow into future independent projects and research teams.
What does "self-management research" mean in this funding context?
Based on the announcement description, it refers to research centered on self-management as a scientific theme, with a particular emphasis on interdisciplinary and biobehavioral approaches that strengthen nursing research capacity and connect investigators across complementary scientific areas.
How is this program different from a typical project-based research grant?
This program is described as infrastructure- and team-building. It aims to put centralized, shareable resources in place (rather than funding standalone, unrelated studies) and to build a coordinated Center where activities reinforce one another around a unifying self-management theme.
What are the three core purposes of the P20 Center mechanism in this announcement?
(1) Develop new, potentially sustainable interdisciplinary and biobehavioral research capacity by establishing centralized resources and shared infrastructure. (2) Build and sharpen a clearly defined thematic science area in self-management through complementary and synergistic activities. (3) Spark feasibility or pilot research that can mature into future independent projects and new research teams.
What types of shared infrastructure does the opportunity describe?
Examples named in the description include coordinated administrative structures, common methods and measurement resources, shared participant recruitment supports, data management and analysis capabilities, and other centralized services intended to reduce duplication and improve overall research quality.
Does the Center have to be organized around a theme, or can it include unrelated studies?
The opportunity emphasizes synergy and a unifying theme in self-management. It specifically notes the Center is not intended to be a collection of unrelated studies; instead, investigators, cores, and developmental activities should reinforce one another around a clearly defined thematic science area.
