Opportunity Summary:
The Developing And Improving Institutional Animal Resources (G20) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-07-342) is a discretionary grant program from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), administered through the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR). Its central purpose is to help biomedical research institutions strengthen and modernize their institutional animal resources, with a strong emphasis on upgrading animal facilities and related infrastructure. The intent is practical and research-driven: improve the environments, capacity, and operational capability of animal facilities so they can better support biomedical and behavioral research funded by the Public Health Service (PHS). In other words, the program is designed to ensure that institutions conducting PHS-supported research have animal resource facilities that meet the demands of contemporary research, including facility quality, functionality, and the ability to sustain safe and effective research operations.
This program specifically encourages institutions to submit individual animal resource improvement applications, meaning proposals are expected to focus on targeted improvements at a particular institution rather than broad, multi-institution initiatives. While the listing does not spell out every allowable activity in the brief summary, the stated objective of "upgrading animal facilities" generally implies improvements that increase capability, reliability, and suitability of animal housing and support spaces for research needs, which can include renovations, modernization of facility systems, and other institutional enhancements tied to animal resource operations. The overarching goal is to strengthen the institutional backbone that enables high-quality PHS-supported science, rather than funding a specific scientific research project itself.
In terms of administrative details, the opportunity falls under the Health and Education activity areas and is associated with CFDA number 93.389 (National Center for Research Resources). The funding instrument is a grant, and the announcement indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which typically means applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The opportunity was posted on March 28, 2007, and reflects a program announcement that replaces an earlier announcement (PAR-03-077), signaling that NIH updated or refreshed the terms and guidance for this line of support.
Eligibility is broad across many types of domestic government and nonprofit entities that operate or oversee biomedical research and associated animal facilities. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, along with federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations. Higher education institutions are eligible in both public/state-controlled and private categories. Nonprofits are also eligible, including 501(c)(3) organizations and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (as described in the full announcement). The listing also notes that eligible federal government agencies may apply, which is not always the case for every NIH funding opportunity. At the same time, a key limitation is that foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, so the program is restricted to U.S.-based eligible applicants.
The announcement used multiple receipt dates rather than a single deadline, and the listing points applicants to the full announcement for the specific submission cycles and timing details. The current closing date shown in the record is May 28, 2009, with an archive date of June 28, 2009, indicating the opportunity is historical/archived in this form, even though it may reflect a program mechanism that could reappear in updated announcements over time. For the complete requirements, allowable costs, application components, and detailed instructions, the official NIH grants page is provided as the authoritative source: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-07-342.html.
