Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Coordination Center for Programs to Increase Diversity Among Individuals Engaged in Health Related Research (PRIDE) (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HL-14-022) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary funding announcement that supports a single award to an institution or organization that will serve as the central Coordination Center (CC) for the PRIDE program. PRIDE is a workforce diversity and career development initiative focused on strengthening the research capabilities and career trajectories of scientists from underrepresented backgrounds who are engaged in, or moving into, health-related research careers. In practical terms, the Coordination Center is meant to be the backbone operation that helps the overall PRIDE program function smoothly, consistently, and accountably across its separate training sites.

This FOA is designed to run in parallel with a companion funding announcement that supports eight PRIDE Summer Institutes (referenced as RFA-HL-14-021). Those Summer Institutes are the programmatic training hubs that directly serve participants, with an emphasis on junior faculty and postdoctoral scientists who are transitioning toward independent academic faculty positions. The Summer Institutes aim to sharpen research skills, deepen scientific knowledge, and provide structured career development support so that participating scientists are better positioned to thrive as faculty members and productive investigators. The Coordination Center, by contrast, is not one of the training institutes itself; it exists to coordinate, align, and support the network of institutes so that the PRIDE program operates as a coherent, high-quality national effort rather than a collection of disconnected sites.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is an R01 grant mechanism, with an expected number of awards listed as one. The estimated total funding for the opportunity is $1,850,000, and the listed award ceiling is $300,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The activity category is Health, and the program is associated with several CFDA numbers connected to NIH research areas: 93.233 (National Center on Sleep Disorders Research), 93.837 (Cardiovascular Diseases Research), 93.838 (Lung Diseases Research), and 93.839 (Blood Diseases and Resources Research). These codes signal the broader NIH and NHLBI scientific domains linked to PRIDE, reflecting the health research areas the program is positioned to support.

Eligibility is broad within the United States and includes many types of domestic organizations and governmental entities. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations (including small businesses and for-profit entities other than small businesses); and various levels of government such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities or Indian housing authorities. The announcement also explicitly recognizes a wide range of mission-driven and community-rooted institutions as eligible, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. At the same time, the FOA is clear that foreign institutions are not eligible, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement are not allowed, keeping the program infrastructure and funded activities fully domestic.

The timeline for the opportunity reflects a specific historical application window: it was posted and created on December 20, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 13, 2014, and an archive date of April 13, 2014. While the announcement is archived, the details remain useful as a reference for how NIH structured the PRIDE program and what it expected from a Coordination Center supporting multiple training institutes.

Applicants interested in the complete announcement were directed to the NIH Grants Guide posting (the FOA link is provided in the source text), and NIH also provided technical assistance contact information through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster for access or linking issues. Overall, the core purpose of this FOA is to fund one organization to manage and unify the operational side of PRIDE, ensuring coordination across eight Summer Institutes that directly train and mentor underrepresented junior faculty and late-stage postdoctoral researchers, ultimately strengthening diversity and excellence in the biomedical and health-related research workforce.
