Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Chronic Illness Self Management in Children and Adolescents (R21)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-14-030) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant designed to spur early-stage, exploratory research that can improve both self-management and overall quality of life for children and adolescents living with chronic health conditions. The central idea behind the FOA is that chronic illness management is not a short-term task but a constant, ongoing responsibility shared by young patients and their families. Because day-to-day decisions about symptoms, medications, lifestyle routines, monitoring, and care coordination can affect health trajectories over years, the announcement encourages studies that generate practical knowledge and innovative approaches to strengthen self-management capacity during childhood and adolescence, when habits, autonomy, and family roles are still developing.
This FOA emphasizes that effective self-management is shaped by more than simple patient education, and it specifically calls for research that accounts for the wide range of forces that can either support or obstruct a young person’s ability to manage a chronic condition. Applicants are encouraged to consider individual differences (including developmental stage and personal characteristics), biological and psychological influences (such as disease burden, stress, mood, cognition, and coping), and the broader family and sociocultural context (including parenting roles, cultural expectations, health beliefs, language, and social support). The opportunity also highlights the importance of family-community dynamics and healthcare system factors, recognizing that school environments, neighborhood resources, access to specialty care, care continuity, provider communication, and insurance or structural barriers can directly affect how well children and teens can follow and sustain management plans. In addition, the FOA points to technological advances and environmental influences as legitimate areas for research attention, reflecting interest in tools such as digital monitoring, mobile health interventions, telehealth supports, and other innovations, as well as the physical and social environments that shape daily behavior and health choices.
The mechanism is an R21, which generally aligns with exploratory or developmental projects intended to test new concepts, pilot interventions, develop measures, or generate preliminary evidence that can later support larger-scale studies. The listed award ceiling is $200,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The activity areas associated with this FOA fall under education and health, and the CFDA numbers linked to it are 93.361 (Nursing Research) and 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), signaling relevance to both nursing research perspectives and broader child health and development priorities.
Eligibility is broad across public and private sectors, covering many types of U.S.-based organizations that can carry out health research. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The FOA also allows applications from nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (including those other than institutions of higher education), as well as for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. Tribal entities are included, with eligibility spanning federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations. Additional eligible applicants explicitly include a range of designated institutions and community-connected organizations, 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 (AANAPISISs), along with faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. Foreign institutions are not eligible, and the FOA specifies that non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible; foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are not allowed.
From a timing and administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on December 11, 2013, created on February 21, 2014, and it carried an original and current closing date of January 7, 2017, with an archive date of February 7, 2017.
