Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Coordination Core for Programs to Increase Diversity Among Individuals Engaged in Health Related Research (PRIDE) (R25)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HL-10-028) is a National Institutes of Health program run through the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). It funds a single coordinating organization, called the Coordination Core (CC), whose job is to knit together and support the broader PRIDE initiative. PRIDE is designed to strengthen the research careers of faculty and scientists from diverse backgrounds by helping them build advanced skills, knowledge, and mentorship connections in areas tied to heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders. The bigger picture goal is to expand diversity in the biomedical and behavioral research workforce and help participating investigators become more competitive for external research funding.

This FOA is closely connected to a companion announcement that solicits applications for five PRIDE Summer Institutes (referenced as RFA-HL-10-019). Those Summer Institutes deliver the hands-on education and career development experiences for selected participants. In contrast, this specific funding opportunity focuses on the program-level infrastructure: the Coordination Core serves as the central hub that aligns the Institutes with each other and with NHLBI expectations. That means the CC is expected to support consistent operations across the program, help maintain coherent standards for training and mentoring, and ensure that evaluation and communication are handled in a unified way rather than separately by each Institute.

The Coordination Core responsibilities described in the announcement include facilitating coordination of education and evaluation activities across the Summer Institute awardees and the NHLBI, supporting candidate selection processes, helping with overall program organization, and playing a key role in the identification and training of mentors. In practice, this positions the CC as the engine for program-wide quality control and shared learning, making sure that mentoring capacity is developed and that participants across different Institutes receive comparable levels of support and tracking. The CC is also charged with planning and supporting annual meetings and PD/PI meetings for the program, which are important for aligning leadership, reviewing progress, sharing best practices, and making course corrections based on outcomes and feedback.

The funding mechanism is the NIH Research Education grant (R25), which is specifically intended to support educational activities tied to research workforce development rather than funding a standard research project. A notable administrative point included in the FOA is that research education programs supported through this mechanism generally cannot be transferred from one institution to another unless there is a strong justification, reinforcing the expectation of stable institutional commitment and continuity of operations.

In terms of funding, NHLBI stated an intention to commit up to $270,000 in total costs in fiscal year 2010 to support one Coordination Core award under this FOA, with awards dependent on the availability of funds and the presence of sufficiently strong applications. The opportunity was posted on December 11, 2009, with an original and current closing date of February 4, 2010, and an archive date of March 7, 2010. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a grant as the funding instrument, with the activity category listed as health. Cost sharing or matching is not required.

Eligibility is broad and includes public and private institutions of higher education, state-controlled institutions, and nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits outside higher education). The FOA also explicitly highlights participation by institutions and organizations that serve populations underrepresented in biomedical research, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and certain Native American tribal governments and organizations (with distinctions made between federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal entities). This eligibility framing aligns with the PRIDE program mission of increasing diversity among individuals engaged in health-related research and building sustainable pathways for career advancement.

The FOA is tied to several CFDA numbers that reflect NHLBI mission areas relevant to PRIDE training content, including sleep disorders research (93.233), cardiovascular diseases research (93.837), and lung diseases research (93.838). Applicants were directed to the full announcement on the NIH grants website, with NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact information provided for access or linking issues.
