Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Competitive Revision Applications for Research on Complementary Approaches to Symptom Management in Military and Veteran Populations (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-13-075), was issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), now known as the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). It was designed specifically to support competitive revision applications, which were formerly referred to as competitive supplement applications. In practical terms, this means the FOA was not intended for brand-new standalone R01 projects; instead, it aimed to add a significant new component to an already active, NCCAM-funded R01 grant by proposing expanded aims, populations, or collaborations that align with the FOA's priorities.
The core purpose of the announcement was to encourage NCCAM-funded investigators to extend their ongoing research into U.S. military and Veteran Affairs settings by partnering with clinicians and researchers in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and/or the Department of Defense (DoD). The focus was on rigorous research evaluating complementary approaches for symptom management and broader health improvement among U.S. service members, veterans, and their families. The FOA emphasized symptom management needs that are especially relevant to these groups, with pain and related symptom burdens explicitly highlighted as priority areas. The expectation embedded in the announcement was that collaborations with VHA or DoD partners would strengthen real-world relevance, access to appropriate populations, and the feasibility of implementing and evaluating complementary health strategies within military and VA health systems.
The funding mechanism was a discretionary grant under the health activity category, listed under CFDA number 93.213 (Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health). The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching. The posted and creation date were January 7, 2013, with an original and current closing date of January 7, 2016, and the archive date of February 7, 2016, indicating that it is no longer active. The award ceiling was listed as $500,000, signaling an upper limit on the amount that could be requested for the revision portion of the work, subject to NIH rules and the scope of the proposed revision.
Eligibility was broad and included many common NIH applicant organization types across the public, nonprofit, and for-profit sectors. Eligible applicants included public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments (including county, city/township, special district, and independent school districts), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, as well as nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments) were also eligible. The FOA further clarified additional eligible entities 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), along with faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. At the same time, it explicitly excluded non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations, and foreign components as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement, meaning the work needed to be fully domestic in terms of applicant eligibility and project components.
The intended applicant pool, by design, was investigators who already held an active NCCAM R01 and could justify a competitive, peer-reviewable expansion of that project to address military and veteran symptom management through complementary approaches. The FOA thus sat at the intersection of complementary and integrative health research and the operational healthcare realities of the DoD and VA systems, encouraging projects that could generate evidence relevant to service members and veterans who often experience complex symptom profiles, including pain and co-occurring concerns that can affect functioning and quality of life.
For applicants seeking official details at the time, NIH provided the full announcement through an NIH Grants Guide link (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-13-075.html). Technical assistance for access or linking issues was routed through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV), reflecting the standard NIH approach for FOA access problems rather than scientific/programmatic questions.
