Change of Grantee Organization (Type 7 Parent) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The NIH funding opportunity PA 14 078, titled "Change of Grantee Organization (Type 7 Parent)," is essentially a formal pathway for transferring an existing NIH award from one organization to another when that kind of transfer is allowed for the specific grant. It is not a new research competition and it is not meant to fund a new project. Instead, it supports situations where an active NIH grant needs to move to a different recipient institution (for example, when a project is relocating, a key investigator changes institutions, or organizational responsibilities shift) and NIH approval is required before the transfer can occur. NIH treats these requests as "prior approval" actions under the NIH Grants Policy Statement (specifically the section covering changes in recipient organization), meaning the transfer cannot happen informally; it must be reviewed and authorized.

A key point is that only certain NIH grant mechanisms are eligible, and the exact list of eligible grant types is provided in the full Funding Opportunity Announcement. Even if an organization holds an NIH award, a change of grantee organization can only be pursued if the terms of that award and NIH program rules permit the grant to be transferred. When an application is submitted under this FOA, it does not go through a standard peer review process like typical research grant applications. Instead, the request is routed directly to the Grants Management Specialist associated with the current award, who evaluates the administrative, legal, and financial aspects of the proposed transfer and coordinates the necessary approvals.

The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant action and is associated with a broad range of NIH-related program areas, reflected in the long list of CFDA numbers. These span many domains, including tobacco regulatory research, environmental health, oral health, genomics, hearing and communication disorders, complementary and integrative health, sleep research, mental health, alcohol and drug abuse research, minority health and health disparities, translational sciences, research infrastructure and construction support, nursing research, cancer research across multiple themes (prevention, diagnosis, treatment, biology, centers, workforce, and control), and a wide set of biomedical and clinical areas such as cardiovascular, lung, blood, arthritis and musculoskeletal disease, diabetes and digestive and kidney diseases, neurological disorders, allergy and infectious diseases, microbiology, child health and development, aging, vision, and international research and training. The breadth of these CFDA listings signals that this administrative transfer mechanism can apply across many NIH Institutes and Centers, depending on the underlying award.

Eligibility under PA 14 078 is broad and includes most organizational types that commonly hold NIH awards. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), state and local governments (including counties, cities, townships, special districts), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, tribal governments and tribal organizations, small businesses and other for-profit organizations, and additional categories such as faith-based or community-based organizations. The FOA also explicitly allows non-U.S. entities and foreign institutions to apply, and it permits foreign components as defined by NIH policy, as well as non-domestic components of U.S. organizations. It also highlights eligibility for a range of institution types such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, AANAPISI institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, U.S. territories and possessions, and eligible federal agencies. The practical takeaway is that NIH is keeping the door open for transfers involving many different kinds of recipient organizations, including international settings, as long as the underlying award and NIH policies allow it.

From an administrative standpoint, the FOA makes clear that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The dates indicate it was posted in late January 2014, with an original (and final) closing date of January 30, 2017, and it was archived in March 2017. That means this specific announcement was active during that window; organizations looking to make a transfer outside that period would typically rely on the current NIH procedures and any updated announcements or policy guidance that replaced or superseded it. The official NIH reference link provided in the opportunity points to the NIH Grants Guide posting for PA 14 078, which is where the details about the eligible grant types and submission expectations would be spelled out.

For assistance, NIH directs technical or access issues to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact. For the actual transfer request itself, the operational point of contact is the Grants Management Specialist listed on the current award, since that person is responsible for handling and approving these prior-approval actions.
