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

Opportunity Summary:

The NIH grant opportunity titled "Change of Grantee Organization (Type 7 Parent)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA 12-270) is not a typical funding competition for new projects. Instead, it is a formal pathway for organizations that already hold certain NIH awards to request approval to transfer an active grant from the current recipient organization to a different recipient organization, as long as that kind of transfer is allowed for the specific grant mechanism involved. In NIH terms, this is a "change of grantee organization" action, and the request is treated as a prior approval request under the NIH Grants Policy Statement (specifically the section covering these changes). In practical terms, the FOA exists to standardize how NIH receives and processes these transfer requests so ongoing work can continue under a new institutional home when there is a legitimate need, such as an institutional move associated with a project or a reorganization that requires a new legal grantee.

This opportunity is administered by the National Institutes of Health and uses the grant funding instrument type, but it is best understood as an administrative action tied to an existing award rather than a new award solicitation. Requests submitted under this FOA are routed directly to the Grants Management Specialist associated with the current award, rather than going through a typical peer review cycle. That routing reflects the nature of the request: NIH is evaluating whether the transfer is allowable, whether the proposed new organization is capable of administering the award, and whether the project can continue to meet all programmatic, financial, and compliance obligations after the transfer. The FOA also notes that only specific NIH grant types are eligible and that the definitive list is provided in the full Funding Opportunity Announcement.

The scope of NIH programs connected to this administrative FOA is broad, reflected by the many CFDA program areas listed in the source data. These include a wide range of research, training, infrastructure, and health-related programs across NIH institutes and centers, such as cancer research, mental health, drug abuse and addiction, environmental health, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, genomics, aging, child health, infectious diseases, nursing research, minority health and health disparities, translational sciences, and others. The presence of these CFDA numbers does not mean the FOA is funding new studies in all these fields; it mainly signals that a wide variety of existing NIH awards across these areas may potentially be eligible for transfer if the underlying grant type permits it.

Eligibility to be the incoming grantee organization is expansive and includes many common recipient categories: public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), state, county, and local governments, independent school districts, special district governments, small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. It also explicitly includes a number of additional categories often highlighted in federal eligibility language, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. Importantly, non-U.S. entities are eligible as well: foreign organizations and foreign institutions may apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are eligible, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are allowed. The FOA also indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.

From a timing and administrative standpoint, the FOA was posted on August 24, 2012, with dates in the record indicating it was later archived (Archive Date March 28, 2014). The source data also lists an original closing date of August 15, 2015 and a current closing date of February 28, 2014, which reflects the lifecycle of the announcement and its later archival status in the system. For the most accurate instructions and any updates or historical context about submission windows, the FOA link provided by NIH is the authoritative source.

For applicants and grants administrators, the key operational point is that a change of grantee organization is not automatic. Because it is a prior approval action, NIH expects a structured request that demonstrates the rationale for the transfer, confirms the project can continue without compromising approved aims, and shows that the proposed new organization has the administrative systems and compliance infrastructure needed to manage NIH funds. The NIH decision is coordinated through the Grants Management Specialist named on the current award, emphasizing that this is award-specific and handled within the grants management framework rather than through a general program solicitation process.
