Opportunity Summary:
The Collaborative Innovation Award, Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program (U01) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) designed to spark new, innovative collaborative research projects across the CTSA consortium. The central aim is to encourage teams within the CTSA network to work together on forward-looking, cross-institutional efforts that can improve the clinical and translational research enterprise. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to accelerate ideas that benefit from multi-site collaboration, shared expertise, and coordinated approaches that a single institution would struggle to execute alone.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement (U01), which generally means the NIH expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. Under a cooperative agreement model, awardees typically work in closer partnership with the funding institute, and activities can involve more active coordination, milestone tracking, or consortium-level alignment than would be typical under an investigator-initiated research grant. The FOA sits in the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.350, reflecting its connection to NCATS translational science priorities.
The announcement identifies an estimated total funding amount of 9,000,000 and states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The FOA was posted on April 2, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 11, 2018, and it was archived on August 11, 2018. While that timeline indicates the opportunity is no longer active, the details still provide a useful template for how NCATS has structured collaborative innovation mechanisms within CTSA.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic organizations and government entities, reflecting the consortium-oriented nature of the CTSA program and the desire to enable partnerships that span academia, healthcare, nonprofits, industry, and government. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits); and a wide range of governmental entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and independent school districts. Tribal entities are also eligible, including federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations. The FOA further clarifies that additional eligible applicants may include Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, AANAPISISs, Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions.
At the same time, the eligibility rules draw a firm line on foreign participation. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities are not eligible to apply, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement are not allowed. This reflects NIH policy constraints for this specific FOA and underscores that the intended collaboration is within the U.S.-based CTSA ecosystem.
