Opportunity Summary:
The Exceptional, Unconventional Research Enabling Knowledge Acceleration (EUREKA) In the Epilepsies (R01) funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-NS-11-003) is a discretionary National Institutes of Health grant program, administered through the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), aimed at pushing epilepsy research in bold, high-impact directions. The core intent is to fund exceptionally innovative R01 research projects that tackle novel hypotheses or unusually difficult problems in the epilepsies, where success would meaningfully accelerate progress in biomedical or biobehavioral understanding. In practical terms, this opportunity is meant for ideas that are not incremental and not simply the next step in an established research line, but rather unconventional approaches that could unlock major advances if they work.
A key feature of this announcement is that it is explicitly for new projects. It is not designed to support continuations of ongoing work that has already begun, and it is also not meant to fund pilot-style efforts that are limited in scope primarily to collect preliminary data for later proposals. The emphasis is on substantial, full research projects under the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism, with the expectation that the proposed work stands on its own as a major effort rather than a preliminary proving ground.
Financially, NINDS indicated an intention (contingent on appropriations and proposal quality) to commit up to 2 million dollars in total costs in fiscal year 2011 to make roughly 4 to 6 new awards. The posted award ceiling is 250,000 (as listed in the source data). As with most NIH opportunities, actual awards depend on both available funds and the presence of enough highly meritorious applications to justify making awards.
Eligibility is broad and includes many common applicant types across academia, nonprofit, and industry. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small businesses, and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The eligibility language also notes additional categories 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 foreign (non-U.S.) organizations. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on March 18, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 13, 2010, and an archive date of September 13, 2010. It is categorized under the health funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 93.853, listed as Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through the NIH grants guide at the provided link (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-NS-11-003.html), with NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact information included for access and linking issues.
