Opportunity Summary:
The NIH, through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and its Division of Kidney, Urologic and Hematologic Diseases (DKUHD), offered this grant opportunity to support basic, exploratory research focused on glomerular diseases. The core goal was to encourage both new and established investigators to pursue foundational studies that could generate fresh concepts and directions in the field. Projects were expected to strengthen scientific understanding of how glomerular diseases can be detected earlier, how they develop and progress (pathogenesis), how they might be prevented or pre-empted before substantial damage occurs, and how future treatments could be improved or newly conceived. In practical terms, this program was aimed at building the underlying biological and mechanistic knowledge that later translational or clinical advances would depend on.
The funding mechanism for this opportunity was the NIH Research Project Grant (R01), which is NIH's standard, full-scale research grant intended for well-defined projects with strong scientific premises and a clear plan of execution. Because the scope of glomerular disease research can range widely (for example, molecular mechanisms in podocytes, immune drivers of injury, signaling pathways, genetics, or biomarker discovery), the announcement emphasized that award size and project duration would vary by proposal. There was no fixed number of awards or set funding pool described in the summary provided; instead, the total dollars and number of funded projects were expected to depend on the number of applications submitted, their scientific quality, their proposed timelines, and their budget requests. There was also no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was intentionally broad and included a wide range of institution types. Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled universities, private universities, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (outside of higher education as well), small businesses, and for-profit organizations that are not small businesses. Government entities were also eligible, including state and local governments, U.S. territories or possessions, and various special districts. The opportunity also explicitly included Indian/Native American tribal governments (federally recognized and otherwise), tribally designated organizations, and regional organizations. Importantly, non-U.S. (foreign) organizations were eligible to apply, and eligible federal agencies could also submit applications. Faith-based and community-based organizations were likewise listed as eligible, reflecting NIH's broad approach to institutional eligibility when the research capacity and compliance requirements can be met.
On the investigator side, the opportunity was open to any Project Director/Principal Investigator with the skills, knowledge, and resources to carry out the proposed research, working through an eligible institution. NIH also reiterated its longstanding encouragement for participation by individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups and by individuals with disabilities. Applicants were allowed to submit more than one application as long as each was scientifically distinct, which matters for research programs that may want to pursue multiple independent lines of investigation in glomerular disease biology.
The announcement also clarified standard NIH application pathways for follow-on submissions. Projects could be renewed by competing for additional project periods, and resubmissions were allowed. For resubmissions, applicants needed to include an introduction that addressed the critiques from the prior peer review (the Summary Statement), which is typical for NIH and signals that revisions should directly respond to reviewers' comments.
Administrative details from the source indicate this was a discretionary grant in the health category, listed under Funding Opportunity Number PA-07-367, with a posted date of April 25, 2007. The announcement used multiple receipt dates rather than a single deadline, meaning applications could be submitted on several scheduled due dates (as specified in the full announcement). The listing shows an archive date of April 5, 2010, indicating the opportunity is no longer active in that original form, though similar NIDDK kidney research funding announcements may exist under newer numbers. The full announcement was hosted on the NIH grants guide site, and NIH provided contact information for technical issues accessing or linking to the announcement.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
