Opportunity Summary:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced this discretionary grant opportunity, RFA-RM-11-023, titled "Economic Studies Ancillary to Completed or Ongoing Health Care Delivery and Financing Pilots, Demonstrations, and Other Experiments (R01)." It uses the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism to fund health economics research that is deliberately tied to real-world, large-scale health care delivery or financing pilots, demonstrations, and other experiments (often shortened in the notice to PDEs). The central idea is to support economic analyses that build on the data, design, and implementation of these PDEs, especially when the underlying interventions aim to slow health care spending or spending growth while maintaining or improving patient outcomes.
The focus is not on launching brand-new pilots themselves, but on doing rigorous, policy-relevant economics research that is ancillary to pilots and demonstrations that are either already completed or currently underway. In practice, that means applicants would be expected to connect their research plan to an existing experiment and show how the proposed economic study will extract additional value from that setting. Studies under this FOA would typically examine questions such as how incentives change provider and patient behavior, whether cost reductions come from efficiency gains versus reduced access or quality, what happens to utilization patterns, how outcomes and spending effects differ across populations, and what the broader economic implications are for payers, providers, and patients. Because the FOA explicitly targets interventions intended to reduce costs or cost growth while preserving or improving outcomes, it signals a strong interest in work that can speak to both spending and value, not spending alone.
This FOA is part of the NIH Common Fund initiative on Health Economics for Health Care Reform, which indicates it was positioned to generate evidence useful for health system and payment reform discussions. The announcement allows for up to five years of support per award, consistent with the R01 mechanism, and the notice anticipated making about five awards overall. The estimated total funding listed for the opportunity was $2,000,000, suggesting a relatively small, competitive cohort of funded projects and an emphasis on well-justified, high-impact analyses that leverage existing large-scale interventions rather than requiring major new infrastructure to begin.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations and governmental entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township, special district, and certain housing authorities; public and private institutions of higher education; independent school districts; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, as well as small businesses. The eligibility language also explicitly includes a range of mission-focused and historically underrepresented institution types, 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 tribal governments and tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments), along with faith-based or community-based organizations and regional organizations. At the same time, the FOA clearly limits participation to domestic applicants: non-U.S. (foreign) institutions are not eligible to apply, 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.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on October 7, 2011, with an original and current closing date of February 8, 2012, and it was archived on March 10, 2012. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which is typical for many NIH research grants and reduces barriers for applicants who might not have access to non-federal matching funds. The program is associated with CFDA number 93.310 (NIH Trans-NIH Research Support), and the funding activity category is listed as Health.
For applicants looking back at the full requirements, the announcement provided an official NIH guide link to the complete FOA text (hosted on grants.nih.gov). The contact information in the summary points to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for technical issues accessing the announcement or resolving linking problems, rather than a scientific/program officer contact for research questions, which suggests the detailed programmatic guidance and contacts would have been contained within the full FOA document itself.
