Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Competitive Revision Applications for NIDCR funded Cooperative Agreements (U01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-11-144) was issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically for projects supported by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR). It is a discretionary grant opportunity that uses the cooperative agreement funding instrument (U01) under the health activity category, and it falls under CFDA 93.121, Oral Diseases and Disorders Research. The opportunity was posted on March 11, 2011, and it accepted applications until January 7, 2014, after which it was archived on February 7, 2014. No cost sharing or matching was required.
This announcement is not meant for brand-new projects. Instead, it is a formal pathway for organizations that already hold an active, NIDCR-funded, single-project U01 cooperative agreement and want to request a significant change to that funded project. In practical terms, it supports "competitive revisions," meaning the applicant is seeking an expansion, redirection, or other substantive modification to the scope of the currently funded work that is large enough to require peer review. The FOA makes an important distinction: smaller adjustments to an active award might be handled administratively through routine grants management processes, but when a change involves a more substantial shift in scientific direction, a major increase in funds, or a meaningful expansion of the original aims, NIDCR expects that request to go through a competitive review process to assess scientific merit, feasibility, and alignment with program goals.
Because the mechanism is a U01 cooperative agreement, NIDCR program staff are expected to have substantial involvement in the project. This is a defining feature of U01 awards compared with traditional investigator-initiated grants: cooperative agreements typically include more active programmatic oversight, coordination, and input from the funding institute during execution. The FOA reflects that reality by emphasizing that revisions are tied to active cooperative agreements and that more significant proposed changes require formal evaluation rather than informal administrative approval. Applicants considering a revision under this FOA would generally be proposing work that builds directly on the currently supported project while justifying why the modification is necessary, timely, and likely to improve impact in NIDCR mission-relevant areas.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of domestic and non-domestic institutions, provided they were applying as the recipient organization holding (or able to hold, consistent with NIH rules) an active NIDCR U01 award appropriate for revision. Eligible applicants listed include small businesses; other for-profit organizations; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status; private and public institutions of higher education; and a wide range of government entities such as state, county, city or township governments, independent school districts, special district governments, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The FOA also explicitly included various mission-focused institution types and communities, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs), and tribal organizations. Faith-based and community-based organizations were included as well. Importantly, non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations) were listed as eligible, and the FOA also allowed foreign components of U.S. organizations, as well as U.S. territories or possessions and regional organizations. Federal agencies were also included among eligible applicants.
For anyone trying to understand when this FOA would have applied, the key trigger is the need for a significant, peer-review-worthy change to an already funded NIDCR U01 project. If the current project needed to scale up, pivot in a meaningful way, or add major new components that were beyond what NIDCR would approve as a routine administrative change, this FOA provided the formal route to request that change competitively. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through the NIH grants guide page linked in the posting (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-11-144.html). For access or technical issues related to the announcement itself, the contact point provided was the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
