Opportunity Summary:
The Centers of Excellence in Self Management Research (P30) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-NR-14-002) is a National Institutes of Health grant program designed to build and strengthen institutional capacity for self-management research by funding a shared, center-based research infrastructure. Rather than primarily paying for a single research project, this mechanism supports the creation of centralized resources, expertise, and coordinated services that multiple investigators can use. The overall goal is to make self-management science more rigorous and productive by enabling interdisciplinary, biobehavioral research teams and by putting durable “core†capabilities in place that can support a portfolio of studies across different health conditions and populations.
At its core, the announcement focuses on “building research teams for the future.†That phrase signals a strong emphasis on creating a sustainable environment where investigators from different disciplines can collaborate, share methods, and accelerate discovery in self-management research. Self-management research often spans behavioral science, nursing science, psychology, physiology, symptom science, health services research, and implementation-related fields; this FOA is meant to help institutions reduce the fragmentation that can slow progress in such complex work. A Center funded under this program would typically be expected to provide shared infrastructure and centralized resources that strengthen research quality and efficiency, such as common measurement and assessment support, biobehavioral laboratory or analytic resources, intervention development support, data management, participant recruitment resources, community engagement capacity, or other cross-cutting services that benefit multiple projects and investigators.
The award is categorized as discretionary funding, uses the grant funding instrument, and falls under education and health as the broad activity category, with CFDA number 93.361 (Nursing Research). The program does not require cost sharing or matching, which means applicants are not obligated to provide a defined financial match to be eligible, although demonstrating institutional commitment and long-term sustainability is commonly important in center-type applications. The total estimated funding listed for the competition is $2,100,000, and the listed award ceiling is $480,000, indicating that individual awards were expected to be capped at that maximum level (typically per year, though applicants would confirm the exact budgeting structure in the full FOA). The announcement was posted January 9, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 11, 2014, and an archive date of April 11, 2014, meaning this specific solicitation is no longer active but remains useful as a reference for how NIH structured this center program.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations and governmental entities. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. Academic institutions are eligible as both public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education, as well as independent school districts. The announcement also allows a wide range of nonprofit organizations, including those with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). For-profit organizations are eligible, including small businesses and other for-profit organizations that are not small businesses. The eligibility list also includes Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), along with regional organizations and eligible federal agencies. The FOA explicitly highlights additional eligible applicant categories 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), reflecting an interest in broad participation across institution types and, often, in strengthening research capacity and reach.
The announcement clearly restricts foreign participation: non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) are not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible. It also states that foreign components, as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are not allowed. In practical terms, this means the center infrastructure and activities must be entirely U.S.-based without foreign subcomponents that would qualify as a “foreign component†under NIH policy.
Overall, this P30 center opportunity is best understood as an infrastructure and team-science investment aimed at improving the science of self-management by supporting shared resources and coordinated leadership. Institutions applying would be expected to propose a coherent plan for a Center that can serve multiple investigators and projects, strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration, and create capabilities that last beyond a single study cycle, thereby advancing self-management research programs across various scientific areas.
