Opportunity Summary:
The Genomic Medicine Pilot Demonstration Projects (U01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HG-13-004) was a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding announcement intended to build a coordinated group, or consortium, of pilot demonstration projects in genomic medicine. The central goal was practical: to show that it is feasible to take a specific patients genomic findings and incorporate them into real clinical care, while also developing and refining the methods needed to make that integration reliable, repeatable, and clinically useful. In other words, the program was not just about generating genomic data; it was about figuring out how to use genomic results in routine healthcare settings in ways that meaningfully inform patient management.
This announcement used the Cooperative Agreement mechanism (U01), which typically signals an active partnership between NIH and the funded teams rather than a hands-off grant. The cooperative structure generally fits programs where multiple projects need to align on shared goals, contribute comparable outputs, and coordinate approaches so that lessons learned are transferable beyond a single institution. In this case, NIH aimed to support collaborative pilot projects that together could test workflows for bringing genomic information into clinical decision-making, identify implementation barriers, and develop approaches to overcome them, such as clinical processes, informatics strategies, and methods for returning and acting on results.
The total estimated funding level listed was approximately $3,000,000. The announcement fell under the NIH activity category of Health and was associated with CFDA number 93.172 (Human Genome Research). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was broad across U.S.-based organizations, spanning many types of public and private entities. Eligible applicants included nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, independent school districts, and a variety of government entities such as city or township governments, county governments, state governments, special district governments, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The eligibility language also explicitly encompassed a range of mission- or population-focused institutions and organizations, including 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, and eligible federal agencies. Tribal organizations were included both for federally recognized tribal governments and certain other tribal entities. U.S. territories or possessions were also included. At the same time, the announcement clearly excluded non-U.S. entities: foreign institutions could not apply, and foreign components were not allowed, including non-domestic components of U.S. organizations, consistent with NIH policy definitions.
Key timeline details show that the FOA was posted on April 1, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 17, 2013, and it was later archived on August 17, 2013. These dates indicate it was a time-limited opportunity with a single submission window rather than an open, ongoing program.
