Opportunity Summary:
The NIH funding opportunity PA-10-236, titled "Health Promotion Among Racial and Ethnic Minority Males (R01)," is a discretionary research grant solicitation designed to grow and strengthen the evidence base on the health of racial and ethnic minority men. Using the R01 mechanism, it supports full research projects that either deepen understanding of what drives health-promoting behaviors among minority males or develop and test interventions that can realistically reduce persistent health disparities. The overarching emphasis is on minority men and their subpopulations across the life course, with a specific call for intervention work aimed at adults age 21 and older. The opportunity sits within NIH program areas that include nursing research, cancer control, cardiovascular disease research, and diabetes/digestive/kidney disease research, reflecting a broad interest in both prevention and chronic disease outcomes.
The FOA has two main scientific aims. First, it seeks studies that clarify the multiple, interacting factors shaping health behaviors in minority males. NIH highlights influences across levels, including sociodemographic conditions, community context, societal forces, and personal factors. This framing signals that competitive applications can focus on more than individual choice and instead examine structural and environmental drivers such as neighborhood conditions, access to care, discrimination and stress exposures, cultural norms, employment and economic instability, family and social networks, and other upstream determinants that can affect behaviors like diet, physical activity, preventive screening, treatment adherence, and help-seeking. It also explicitly welcomes attention to subpopulations within racial and ethnic minority groups and encourages thinking across the life cycle, which supports research that considers how early-life experiences, adulthood circumstances, and aging-related changes can differently influence health trajectories for minority men.
Second, NIH encourages applications that build, adapt, and rigorously test health promotion interventions that are culturally and linguistically appropriate for racially and ethnically diverse males. The goal is practical: reduce health disparities by designing programs that match the language needs, cultural values, lived experiences, and real-world constraints of the groups being served. This can include community-based strategies, clinic-linked approaches, family- or peer-supported models, faith- or workplace-oriented programs, technology-assisted interventions, or multilevel interventions that address both individual behavior and contextual barriers. The FOA is clear that the intervention component should be designed specifically with minority men in mind rather than simply reusing generic approaches, and it encourages work that can demonstrate measurable effects on behaviors and related health outcomes.
In terms of funding structure, PA-10-236 uses the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism, which typically supports more mature, fully developed projects than exploratory mechanisms. NIH notes that this FOA runs in parallel with a companion announcement of identical scientific scope that uses the R21 mechanism (PA-10-237), which is generally more appropriate for early-stage, exploratory, or pilot work. For PA-10-236 specifically, NIH does not set a fixed award size or project period in the summary provided; instead, it states that budget and duration will vary depending on the proposed research. The number of awards and total dollars ultimately depend on the number of applications received, their scientific quality, their requested budgets, and project duration. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic and non-domestic organizations. Eligible applicants include federal, state, county, city, township, and special district governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; public and private institutions of higher education; independent school districts; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. The FOA also explicitly includes a wide range of mission-relevant institutions and community entities such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, faith-based and community-based organizations, and tribal governments (both federally recognized and other than federally recognized). Foreign (non-U.S.) entities and regional organizations are listed as eligible, as are U.S. territories or possessions. This breadth is consistent with NIH goals of promoting interdisciplinary research and supporting studies embedded in communities where minority men live, work, and receive services.
Key administrative details from the listing include the funding opportunity number (PA-10-236), agency (National Institutes of Health), funding instrument (grant), and posted date (July 22, 2010), with later creation and archive dates associated with the record. The original closing date is listed as September 7, 2013, with a current closing date shown as August 13, 2013, and an archive date of September 13, 2013, indicating that this particular announcement is historical rather than currently open. Applicants looking for the full terms, requirements, and application instructions are directed to the NIH Grants Guide link associated with the FOA.
