Opportunity Summary:
The NIH funding opportunity PAR 13-305, titled "Collaborative Interdisciplinary Team Science in NIDDK Research Areas (R24)," is a discretionary grant program from the National Institutes of Health focused on advancing research aligned with the mission of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Using the R24 activity mechanism, the program is designed to support collaborative, team-based efforts that tackle complex, high-importance biomedical problems in NIDDK-relevant areas, including diabetes, digestive diseases, kidney diseases, and related fields that fit within NIDDKs broader research portfolio. The emphasis is not on isolated projects led by a single lab, but on deliberately organized, multi-investigator collaboration where the combined expertise of the group is essential to solve the problem being targeted.
A central theme of the announcement is interdisciplinary team science. Applicants are expected to assemble a group of creative, independent investigators who are already funded and capable of contributing substantial, complementary expertise. In practice, this means the proposed team should not be a loose network or a simple collection of parallel projects. Instead, the application should present a clear, integrative plan showing how the investigators will work together in a coordinated way to address the challenge more effectively than any one discipline or research group could alone. The FOA explicitly looks for a convincing rationale that the scientific problem is complex enough to require a team science approach, along with a thoughtful strategy for collaboration, integration of methods, and coordinated decision-making.
The FOA also highlights that the team science framework can be used to generate a research resource. That resource could take many forms depending on the scientific area and the need, such as shared datasets, standardized methods, tools, platforms, or other community-enabling outputs. Importantly, the program allows for discovery-based or hypothesis-generating work, meaning projects do not necessarily need to be limited to testing a single narrowly defined hypothesis. Instead, applicants can propose work that builds foundational resources or produces integrative insights that accelerate progress across an entire research area. The underlying expectation is that the activity will meaningfully advance biomedical research in an NIDDK mission-relevant domain by enabling new directions, improving rigor or comparability, or lowering barriers that currently slow the field.
In terms of eligibility, the opportunity is broadly open to a wide range of U.S.-based organizations and governmental entities, reflecting an intent to encourage participation from many parts of the research ecosystem. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) in certain cases), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities), and multiple levels of government such as state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The eligibility language also explicitly includes several institution types and community-serving categories, 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 (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. Foreign institutions themselves are not eligible to apply as prime applicants, but non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations may participate, and foreign components are allowed under NIH policy definitions, which can matter for projects that require specialized international capabilities or cohorts while still maintaining a U.S. applicant organization as the lead.
Administratively, this was posted on August 2, 2013, with an original and final closing date of November 17, 2015, and it was archived on December 18, 2015. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research). The announcement indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which is typical of NIH research grant mechanisms and reduces financial barriers for applicant organizations. For full program details, NIH directs applicants to the official FOA page hosted in the NIH Grants Guide (linked in the opportunity text), and provides NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact information for access or technical linking issues.

The opportunity focuses on research aligned with NIDDK priorities, including diabetes, digestive diseases, kidney diseases, and related fields that fall within NIDDK's broader research portfolio.
Is this opportunity intended for single-lab or single-investigator projects?
No. The announcement explicitly emphasizes multi-investigator, team-based science rather than isolated projects led by a single lab. Applications are expected to present an integrated and coordinated plan for collaboration.
What does the FOA mean by "interdisciplinary team science"?
Interdisciplinary team science in this FOA refers to bringing together creative, independent investigators with complementary expertise to work in a coordinated and integrative way. The application should show how the team will collaborate to address a problem that is complex enough to require multiple disciplines and approaches.
What kind of team structure is expected?
The FOA expects a deliberately organized team rather than a loose network or a simple bundle of parallel projects. Applicants should propose an integrative plan that explains how investigators will work together, integrate methods, and coordinate decision-making.
Does the FOA expect investigators to already have funding?
Yes. The announcement describes an expectation that applicants will assemble a group of creative, independent investigators who are already funded and capable of contributing substantial, complementary expertise.
What should the application justify about the scientific problem?
The FOA looks for a convincing rationale that the scientific problem is complex and important enough to require a team science approach, and that the proposed interdisciplinary collaboration is essential to solving it more effectively than any single discipline or group could alone.
Can the project focus on building a research resource?
Yes. The FOA highlights that the team science framework can be used to generate a research resource, which may help enable progress across a broader research area.
