Opportunity Summary:
The Developmental Centers for Interdisciplinary Research in Benign Urology (P20) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-DK-13-019) is an NIH discretionary grant program designed to grow and strengthen interdisciplinary research focused on benign urologic diseases. The core idea is to bring together research teams made up of investigators with complementary skills and perspectives, then support them as they build new resources or launch new research projects using integrative, cross-cutting approaches. In practice, this means the program is aimed at encouraging collaborations that might not happen in a traditional single-discipline setting, especially where combining methods, data types, clinical insight, and basic or translational science could open up new directions in benign urology research.
A key structural requirement is that each Developmental Center is organized around a single scientific Project. This is not a large multi-project center mechanism; instead, it is meant to be a focused developmental platform that still has the essential infrastructure needed to succeed and to cultivate a broader research environment. Every application must include two required components: an Administrative Core and an Educational Enrichment Program. The Administrative Core is intended to provide leadership, coordination, and overall management so the project and center activities run effectively. The Educational Enrichment Program is meant to broaden impact beyond the immediate project by strengthening the research community, developing skills, and helping train or enrich investigators who are working in or entering benign urology research. Taken together, the structure signals that NIH is not only interested in the scientific deliverables of the project, but also in building capacity, connections, and momentum in the field.
This FOA sits within a broader strategy by the NIH Division of Kidney, Urologic and Hematologic Diseases (DKUH) to expand and enhance the urology research community. The Developmental Centers Program is explicitly described as working in partnership with two other NIH-supported efforts: the George M. O'Brien Urology Cooperative Research Centers Program (U54) and the Multidisciplinary K12 Urologic Research (KURe) Career Development Program. The intent is that P20 Developmental Centers help seed innovative work, grow interdisciplinary teams, and create a pipeline that aligns with larger cooperative center activities (U54) and career development/training goals (K12). In other words, the P20 mechanism is positioned as a developmental stepping stone and community-building tool that complements more extensive research center and investigator development programs.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted September 9, 2013, with an application closing date of November 18, 2013, and an archive date of December 19, 2013. The estimated total funding listed is $1,000,000, with an award ceiling of $200,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The activity is listed under CFDA 93.847 (Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research), and the sponsoring agency is the National Institutes of Health.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S. and non-U.S. organizations. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses, as well as various units of government such as state, county, city/township, special district governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, and tribal governments or tribal organizations (including federally recognized and other than federally recognized). The eligibility language also explicitly includes a range of institution types such as 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 and eligible federal agencies. Foreign organizations and foreign institutions are eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are eligible, and foreign components as defined by NIH policy are allowed, indicating NIH openness to international participation where it strengthens the science and the collaborative team.
