Opportunity Summary:
Education Research in Sleep Health and Sleep Circadian Biology (R25) is a National Institutes of Health grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 11-098) sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute along with the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). It supports education-focused research projects that help translate and spread scientific advances in sleep health, sleep biology, and circadian biology. Rather than funding basic science or clinical trials directly, this R25 mechanism is aimed at building, testing, and improving educational approaches that can move up-to-date sleep and circadian science into the hands of people who will use it in research, clinical care, teaching, and community settings.
The core purpose of the announcement is to encourage applicants to design innovative educational tools, platforms, and programs that improve how sleep and circadian knowledge is taught, learned, and adopted. The intended audiences are broad and include research scientists, health care providers, and educators from a range of disciplines. The FOA also explicitly encourages programs tailored to specific populations where sleep health education and translation may have especially meaningful impacts, including youth, older adults, women, racial and ethnic minority communities, and veterans. In practice, that means applicants can propose targeted curricula, training modules, continuing education resources, community-facing educational initiatives, or technology-enabled learning systems, as long as the work is grounded in sleep and circadian science and is structured as education research rather than simple outreach.
A key expectation is that projects should be built on modern, evidence-informed approaches to education and dissemination. The FOA highlights the use of cutting-edge education models, knowledge transfer strategies, and even social marketing concepts, signaling that strong proposals should go beyond traditional lectures or static materials. Applicants are expected to think carefully about how information is packaged, delivered, and reinforced so that it actually changes knowledge, attitudes, skills, or behaviors in the target audience. Just as important, applications must include a clear analytic plan to evaluate whether the educational program works. In other words, NIH is looking for measurable outcomes and credible assessment methods, not just good intentions. The announcement also stresses adoption and sustainability, so proposals should address how the program could be implemented in other settings, scaled, maintained over time, and integrated into existing training or service systems after the grant period.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant under the broad federal activity area of health (and related income security and social services classifications). It does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can lower barriers for organizations that may not have access to significant non-federal financial support. The CFDA numbers associated with the funding are 93.233 (National Center on Sleep Disorders Research) and 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), reflecting the participating NIH components and their programmatic interests in sleep disorders research and child health and development perspectives relevant to sleep and circadian biology.
Eligibility is intentionally wide, spanning many types of U.S.-based organizations and governmental entities. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions, nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) entities and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. Governmental bodies at multiple levels may apply, including state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and certain housing authorities. The FOA also calls out a variety of mission-focused or historically underrepresented-serving institutions and organizations as eligible, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and other tribal organizations and regional organizations, as well as U.S. territories or possessions. Faith-based and community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies are also included, which aligns with the FOA's emphasis on dissemination, adoption, and reaching specific populations.
Timeline details in the source show the announcement was posted and created on January 13, 2011, with an original and current closing date listed as February 1, 2013, and an archive date of March 4, 2013. The archived status indicates this specific announcement is no longer open for new submissions under that number and date range, but it still serves as a useful reference for the kind of educational research NIH sought in sleep and circadian science during that period and for how future related announcements may be structured.
