Opportunity Summary:
The Chimpanzee Biomedical Research Program Limited Competition (U42) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA RR 10 008) was a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding announcement issued by the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR). It was posted on August 3, 2010, with an application closing date of December 6, 2010, and later archived on January 6, 2011. The opportunity was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning awardees would not only receive funding but would also work in close coordination with NIH under the terms of a U42 cooperative agreement mechanism.
The main purpose of the announcement was to continue support for institutions already involved in the NCRR-supported Chimpanzee Biomedical Research Program (CBRP), a program originally established in 1986. This was a limited competition, so it was not broadly open to new organizations without an existing relationship to the program. Eligible applicants were restricted to current participating CBRP institutions or institutions already funded to support chimpanzees that were owned by NCRR or supported by NCRR (including situations where chimpanzees were institution-owned but NCRR-supported). In practical terms, the announcement was designed to fund the ongoing stewardship and management infrastructure for established chimpanzee colonies tied to NIH-sponsored research, rather than to expand the program to entirely new sites.
Awardee responsibilities centered on maintaining NCRR colonies of chimpanzees that are currently used, have been used, or may be used in NIH-sponsored research. That maintenance role implies operational and resource commitments associated with colony care and readiness, consistent with supporting biomedical research needs and ensuring that existing federally supported chimpanzee resources remain properly housed and managed over time.
Financially, NIH indicated that up to $5 million in total direct costs would be available under this announcement. The agency anticipated making three awards, although the final number depended on the availability of funds and the scientific and programmatic merit of the applications received. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligible applicant types included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) IRS status (other than institutions of higher education), reflecting the expectation that applicants would be established research or research-support organizations with the capacity to manage these specialized colonies.
