Collaborative Interdisciplinary Team Science in Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases (R24) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The NIH funding opportunity PAR-08-182, titled "Collaborative Interdisciplinary Team Science in Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases (R24)," is designed to support well-organized research teams that want to tackle difficult, multifaceted biomedical problems related to diabetes, endocrinology, and metabolic diseases. The central idea is that certain scientific questions in these areas are too complex to be solved well by a single lab or a single discipline, so the program emphasizes inter- and trans-disciplinary collaboration. In practice, this means bringing together investigators who contribute distinct expertise (for example, basic biology, clinical research, genetics, computational methods, engineering, behavioral science, epidemiology, or other relevant fields) to work as an integrated team on a shared scientific challenge.

This opportunity uses the Research Resource Grant mechanism (R24). An R24 is typically intended to enable or enhance research capabilities by supporting a coordinated effort, often centered on resources, infrastructure, or collaborative frameworks that make a broader research program possible. In the context of this announcement, the R24 mechanism is meant to provide the support needed for strong teams to function effectively across disciplinary boundaries, with the goal of producing progress that would be difficult to achieve through a collection of separate, traditional investigator-initiated projects.

In terms of funding expectations, NIH anticipated funding roughly 1 to 3 projects per year. The announcement also makes clear that award size and project duration were expected to vary depending on what the team proposes, because interdisciplinary projects can differ widely in scope, complexity, and required resources. The final number of awards and total dollars would depend on application quality, proposed duration and costs, and the availability of funds at the time of award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for applicants.

Eligibility is broad and includes both private and public institutions of higher education, along with other eligible organizations as described in the announcement. The eligible applicant types specifically include institutions and organizations such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). The opportunity also allows applications from non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations), which is notable because not all NIH funding opportunities include foreign eligibility.

Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant, with NIH as the sponsoring agency, and it is associated with CFDA program areas 93.837 (Cardiovascular Diseases Research) and 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research). The opportunity was posted on December 3, 2008, with an original and current closing date of March 24, 2011, and it was archived on April 24, 2011. For full details, NIH pointed applicants to the official program announcement page (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-08-182.html) and provided NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster contact information for access or linking issues.
