Opportunity Summary:

The NIH funding opportunity RFA-HL-14-020 is a discretionary research grant (R01) to support a single Evaluation and Administration Coordinating Center for the NIH program called "Low Cost, Pragmatic, Patient Centered Randomized Controlled Intervention Trials" (funded under the related announcement RFA-HL-14-019 using the UH2/UH3 mechanism). In plain terms, NIH is looking to fund one organization to serve as the central coordinating hub that helps multiple funded trial teams stay aligned with each other and with NIH expectations, while also formally evaluating how well the overall UH2/UH3 program is working.

The core purpose of this Coordinating Center is twofold. First, it is meant to handle administration and coordination across all awardees funded under RFA-HL-14-019 and to act as the connective tissue between those trial teams and NIH. That kind of coordinating role typically includes organizing communications, supporting cross-project consistency, helping manage shared timelines and reporting needs, facilitating common approaches where appropriate, and making it easier for NIH and the grantees to resolve operational issues efficiently. Second, the awardee must conduct an evaluation of the RFA-HL-14-019 program itself, meaning it is not just helping the trials run smoothly, but also assessing the program's performance, progress, and outcomes at a programmatic level.

From a funding and scope standpoint, NIH anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $225,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The activity category is health-related research and coordination, and the announcement is administered by the National Institutes of Health. The CFDA program numbers associated with the opportunity reflect NHLBI-relevant research areas, including cardiovascular, lung, and blood diseases, as well as sleep disorders research (93.837, 93.838, 93.839, and 93.233).

The eligibility rules are broad and include many common domestic applicant types, such as public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small businesses, state and local governments (including counties, cities/townships, special districts, and independent school districts), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized tribal governments, along with other tribal organizations. The FOA also explicitly includes a range of mission- and population-focused institutions and entities as eligible, 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 Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. At the same time, the opportunity is limited to U.S.-based applicants: non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities may not apply, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components are not allowed under NIH policy for this announcement.

In terms of key dates, the FOA was posted and created on November 7, 2013, with an original and current closing date of January 23, 2014, and an archive date of February 23, 2014. The official NIH listing provides a link to the full announcement text at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HL-14-020.html, and NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) web support is listed as the contact for technical access or linking issues (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
