Opportunity Summary:
The High Impact Neuroscience Research Resource Grants (R24) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-NS-13-009) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding program designed to support resource-focused projects that can make a broad, practical difference for the neuroscience research community. Rather than funding a single, narrowly defined research study, this FOA is aimed at building, improving, scaling, or expanding access to resources that many neuroscience investigators can use. The central idea is to invest in high-impact infrastructure, capabilities, and shared assets that remove bottlenecks, fill gaps, or provide specialized services that are difficult for individual labs to develop and sustain on their own.
Projects proposed under this announcement are expected to address compelling needs for broad communities of neuroscience researchers or to offer unique services that would otherwise be unavailable. Applicants may propose entirely new tools, reagents, or services; they may also propose innovative approaches that make existing resources more scalable, more cost-effective, or easier to access. Another encouraged approach is expanding the reach of valuable resources by introducing them to wider user groups, which could include building distribution systems, developing user support and training, improving standardization and quality control, or creating mechanisms that allow more investigators to use a resource efficiently. Across these possibilities, the emphasis is on tangible, shared resources that enable or accelerate neuroscience research and are relevant to the mission of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
The program is categorized as a discretionary grant funding opportunity in the health area, associated with CFDA 93.853 (Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders). The FOA was posted on February 11, 2013, with an original and current application due date of May 16, 2013, and an archive date of June 16, 2013. The estimated total funding available is listed as $1,200,000, and the award ceiling is $350,000. No cost sharing or matching is required, which means applicants are not obligated to provide non-federal funds to receive an award.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic organizations across the nonprofit, academic, government, and private sectors. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, public and private institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, and a range of government entities (state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts). The FOA also includes eligibility for tribal organizations and governments, including federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal entities, as well as tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs). Additional eligible categories listed include Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. Foreign institutions (non-U.S. entities) are not eligible to apply directly; however, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are eligible, and foreign components are allowed as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, meaning certain international elements can be included when justified within an otherwise eligible application.
Overall, this FOA is best understood as a mechanism for strengthening the neuroscience ecosystem by funding shared capabilities that many investigators can rely on. Competitive applications would be expected to clearly articulate the unmet need being addressed, demonstrate why the proposed resource or service will be broadly useful or uniquely valuable, and show how the project will expand access, efficiency, and impact for neuroscience researchers in ways aligned with NINDS priorities. For the full announcement and detailed requirements, the FOA directs applicants to the NIH posting at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-NS-13-009.html, with NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact information provided for technical access issues.
